Beckham: Watching Euro 2008 Makes Me Ill
David Beckham says he feels "physically sick" whenever he watches a Euro 2008 game.
Jun 18, 2008 9:21:34 AM
The LA Galaxy star is still gutted to be missing out on in the tournament after England's catastrophic qualification campaign culminated in a sensational loss to Croatia at Wembley in November.
"It has been tough actually bringing myself to watch a game. I actually feel physically sick watching the games," Beckham admitted Sky Sports News.
"We should be there, but it is just one of those things. We move on, it is in the past. We move onto World Cup qualifiers now.
"We always sit in front of the press guys and say 'this could be it, we have a great team and great individuals and we have the belief'.
"But we always come up with excuses and that has got to stop. We need to go into a competition with the belief, and we need to win something.
"We have big games coming up and we have to prove to people that we belong on the big stage. For us, not qualifying for the Euros was devastating. We have to put that right by qualifying well."
Beckham, 33, recently admitted he would relish being named as England captain again, while there has been talk about him training with Arsenal again during the MLS off-season
