I think that Carlos is the best left denfnder in the world and Beckham is the best in his postion with Figo, but all I'm saying is that you can't say that Carlos stoped Beckham b/c if you want to stope someone you have to stope him all of the game and not let him score 3 tiemes in 4 matchs they have played togather the only time you can say that Carlos did stope Beckham was the away game in Madird but you can say that O'she stoped Figo last game b/c he couldn't do anything for example. I think that both players are from the best in history of soccer and you shouldn't say someone is better than the other b/c they are in diffrent postions but you only can in freekiks which Beckham is far better than Carlos in.
