Reviewing the tournament as a whole, Beckham relished the emergence of new teams and players on the world stage - none more so than Colombia and James Rodriguez. Its been a great World Cup. The fact youve seen teams like Costa Rica and Colombia perform the way they have and some great young players coming out of the competition, its been great to see, he said. Rodriguez was included among the nominees for FIFAs player of the tournament award after scoring six goals in Colombias five games, most memorably a superb volley on the turn against Uruguay in the last 16. Beckham said: His goal for me was one of the best of the tournament - as a young player, to have that thought, the way he moved into the ball, the way he turned and struck the ball. Ive heard about him quite a few times and people told me he was a great talent, but to come on to the world stage at his age and play the way hes played, says how talented he is. I think hes got a great future. Hes such a talented player and hes a good-looking kid as well, hes got the whole package. -HWMNBN
