Alan Shearer has spoken out about David Beckham's role in England's 1998 World Cup exit after watching the new Netflix documentary about the Manchester United legend. <\/p>\n

The film delves into Beckham's career, including the infamous match against Argentina. In that game, Michael Owen scored a brilliant goal to put England 2-1 up. But after Javier Zanetti equalised, England were hit with a bigger blow when Beckham was sent off for kicking Diego Simeone. <\/p>\n

Argentina went on to win on penalties and Beckham faced a lot of flak for his part in England's defeat. The documentary shows clips of burning effigies and abuse hurled at Beckham from rival fans.<\/p>\n

Beckham also criticises Glenn Hoddle, then England manager, for blaming England's exit on his red card.<\/p>\n

Shearer, however, defended both Beckham and Hoddle on The Rest Is Football podcast. He said: "He really heavily criticised Glenn Hoddle for his response after he got sent off. I loved Glenn Hoddle, he gave me the England captaincy and was a fantastic coach.<\/p>\n

What do you think of Alan Shearer's comments? Let us know in the comments section<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

"I understand why David is critical of him. He didn't agree with what was said after he got sent off in '98. <\/p>\n

"But I loved Glenn Hoddle, I thought he was brilliant. I get the criticism because I know he was younger and perhaps not as mature as he could've been. That's understandable.<\/p>\n

"But he did kick out and get sent off. No, it wasn't his fault we didn't go through. It wasn't his fault [Paul] Ince or [David] Batty missed their penalties, not at all. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

"But we would have had a much better chance with him on the pitch. It is what it is. I don't blame him at all, we all made mistakes on the pitch that we regret.<\/p>\n

"He'll look back and you can hear the regret in his voice. It happened. I don't blame him. With his criticism of Glenn, I always liked Glenn. He gave me one of the biggest and best things that can ever happen to you."<\/p>\n
