【Now Sports】Retired formerEnglandStriker Oyun, in a recent podcast, still blamed two national team teammates, Beckham and Ens, for the British army’s early exit from the 1998 World Cup. England beat Argentina in the 16th round of the 1998 World Cup. Beckham lost his mind for a moment during the game and kicked the opponent’s midfielder Shimoni, who had fouled first, with his last foot. As a result, he was sent off with a red card for this retaliatory move, resulting in three games with 10 players. The Lions were eliminated by Argentina after a 12-yard shootout.
Michael Owen said: “First of all, I don’t think Beckham’s action deserved a red card, but he did make a mistake, and that’s what I resent. For many players, there may only be one chance to participate in the world championships. Cup, but he made a mistake, he will admit it, and you can say it led to our elimination because I believe if it was 11 against 11, we could have beaten Argentina.”
Another person he blamed was Enns, who shot the last shot in the 12-yard shootout. Oyun said: “I do have a lot of resentment. Enns missed the 12-yard shot. I resented the way he chose to shoot. , just like I resent Beckham’s revenge against Simone. England has a history of self-destruction. In addition to Beckham, there was also the incident of Ronny stepping on Kahuanuo in 2006. These were not football reasons that led to our failure. I I often go to bed wondering why I’ve never won a trophy in England.”
