I will add my pennence in just for the balance of the thread.
Beckham is a better right sided player than Zidane is, and Zidane is a better attacking centre mid than Beckham is.
Beckham has better hair, and we would all choose him to ride us silly over Zidane.
Zidane is a bit more loonier than Beckham as the Matterazzi bull run is by far trumps the Simone flick.
Beckham handles a penalty kick better than Zidane, remember the chunk blowing incident.
Beckham can take a free-kick better than Zidane, but Zidane can pirouette better than Beckham.
Zidane is French, and for me loses on that basis alone.
Ok, carry on.
