Beckham-less

There are two weeks until the Olympics are underway and all of London is ready to show off, well all but one. One of the major faces of England, David Beckham, will not be partaking in the games. The legendary soccer player was left off of the three senior players selected for England's soccer team. In the olympics, soccer squads must compete with there under 23 year old team and get to choose three players from their senior squad. Many thought it would be obvious to pick Beckham, he was practically one of the main reasons England got to host the Olympics. England clearly had another mindset, and that was to pick the best squad that would give them a chance to win, not to be commercially attractive. Beckham will forever be a face of England soccer, but times have changed, and England is wearing a different mask to this party and its not the face of H&M.
