小貝辭去英格蘭隊長
David Beckham quit on Sunday as England captain after almost six years in the job in the wake of their World Cup quarter-final defeat by Portugal.
The England midfielder, looking on the verge of tears, read out a statement announcing he would step down with the change of manager as Sven-Goran Eriksson hands over to Steve McClaren.
Beckham said former caretaker England manager Peter Taylor had given him "the greatest honour of my career ... and fulfilling my childhood dream" by appointing him as captain in November 2000.
After being captain for 58 of his 94 England caps, Beckham said: "I feel the time is right to pass on the armband.
"As we enter a new era under Steve McClaren, it has been an honour and a privilege to have captained our country and I want to stress that I wish to continue to play for England.
"And I look forward to helping both the new captain and Steve McClaren in any way I can."
Beckham said England`s players were all hit hard by Saturday`s exit against Portugal after a penalty shootout with their match finishing 0-0 after extra time.

巴7月2日消息,英格蘭隊今天在訓練營召開新聞發布會,在發布會上隊長貝克漢姆宣讀了一份事先准備好的聲明,宣布不再出任英格蘭國家隊隊長。
在聽到貝克漢姆辭去隊長的消息後,第一個任命貝克漢姆為隊長的泰勒表示當初選貝克漢姆的決定被証明是正確的。『他表現得非常出色,我認為他是一個非常優秀的隊長。他一定考慮了很久很痛苦,雖然曾經有過瑕疵,但總得來說是一名非常傑出的隊長,他應該為過去的六年感到驕傲。』
