England cool over Simeone

England players on Monday resisted renewed hostilities with Diego Simeone after the Argentina star admitted he deliberately tried to get England's David Beckham sent off at the last World Cup.
Michael Owen, who scored the goal of the tournament in the heated 1998 clash in St Etienne, insisted Simeone's comments and the looming new match against Argentina were of no concern.
"A lot has been written at this time leading up to the World Cup but we are more focussed on what we are going to do," Owen told a press conference Monday at England's World Cup training camp in South Korea.
"Argentina is going to be a big game but noone in the camp is talking about that. We are just preparing in the camp on all the games ahead starting with the first game
against Sweden."
Simeone gave his confession about his role in the sending off of Beckham four years ago in an interview with the monthly sports magazine of Britain's Observer newspaper.
Beckham was red-carded when he petulantly kicked out at Simeone following a foul by the Argentine midfielder during their second round World Cup clash.
"I had tackled him, and we both fell to the ground," Simeone was quoted as saying.
"As I was trying to stand up that was when he kicked me from behind. And I took advantage of that. And I think any person would have taken advantage of that in just the same way," the Argentine said.
Simeone will face England skipper Beckham again when the two nations clash in Sapporo in Japan on June 7 in their Group F clash.
"Sometimes you get sent off, sometimes you don't," he said. "Unfortunately for the English team they lost a player. Anyway, you take advantage of all the opportunities you find in your life," he told the magazine.
Other Argentine players have also previously admitted using every possible way to win the game, especially against England.
"Simeone did an act and got Beckham sent off," Roberto Perfumo, the former Argentine captain, was reported as saying.
"This is not the kind of thing that could have been done by one of your naive, honest English players."
Argentina are one of the favourites to win the World Cup this year and are confident of topping their group, which also includes England, Nigeria and Sweden.
But Simeone emphasised how important it is for his country to put on an impressive display against England. "Quite apart from all the political history, the desire of the whole country is to defeat England," he said.
"So we knew that in 1998, and we knew that the hearts of the Argentine people were with us. And every time we meet this desire to win is bigger and more heartfelt. This is a classic. And we play it as a classic because we are all conscious of how happy we can make our country by winning."
