Rio: We'll prove Beckenbauer wrong
Posted Saturday, June 26, 2010 by PA
Rio Ferdinand believes England will make Franz Beckenbauer eat his words when they face Germany in the last 16 of the World Cup on Sunday.
Beckenbauer, a World Cup winner as a player and a coach with West Germany, had labelled England as "stupid" for failing to secure top spot in Group C after poor performances in draws against the United States and Algeria, and accused them of playing "kick and rush" football.
And Ferdinand told The Sun: "I think those comments will come back to bite Beckenbauer. Perhaps he wasn't expecting Germany and England to meet this early in the competition."
