David Beckham's red card for flicking his heel at Diego Simeone defined English football for years, as ten-man England were eliminated 4-3 on penalties despite Michael Owen's wonder goal making it 2-2. Sol Campbell's disallowed header and Beckham's sending-off remain two of the most controversial moments in World Cup history. David Batty and Paul Ince missed as Argentina progressed.
