Beckham Gets Assist as England Salvages Tie Against The Czech Republic
A David Beckham corner kick was headed home by former Manchester United teammate Wes Brown, but it took a stoppage time goal by substitute Joe Cole to assure a tepid England of a 2-2 draw today against The Czech Republic at Wembley.
Neither Beckham or England looked particularly impressive in game where the Brits were constantly chasing the game.
Becks went almost the full 90 minutes, virtually ensuring he will take no part in Thursday's Galaxy-Fire game, but at least appeared to emerge from the match unscathed.
