World Cup Soccer >> Beckham steps down as England penalty taker > Penalty Takers - Lampard In - Beckham Walks
David Beckham will not be taking the penalties for England any more. The penalty taker duties go to Frank Lampard.
Beckham walked, stepped down, he was not stripped of the penalty taking responsibilities.
England's head coach, Sven Goran Eriksson confirmed on Friday that Beckham had informed him of his intentions several months ago.
"The fact is David has not taken a penalty in a match for a long, long time," Eriksson said. "I don't think he ever did it for Real Madrid, so that means the last one was for the national team (at Euro 2004), and Frank (Lampard) always takes them."
