Michael Owen Furiously Dismantled David Beckham While Talking About His Red Card

 Beckham was sent off in England's round of 16 encounter at the tournament for kicking Diego Simeone while on the ground.

With the score tied at 2-2 and England facing a penalty shootout, referee Kim Milton Nielsen issued the winger his marching orders.

Effigies of the Manchester United player were publicly burned, and obscenities such as '10 Heroic Lions, One Stupid Boy' were printed. Owen, a Three Lions teammate, expressed his displeasure with the criticism, but said he was enraged by Beckham personally.

According to the Mirror, Owen stated in his 2019 autobiography, "The aftermath from David Beckham's notorious red card against Argentina was still being felt some years later."
