England captain David Beckham said on Tuesday he would not shy away from taking penalty kicks, even though his last failed effort contributed to his team's dramatic loss to France on Sunday. "When I've missed penalties in the past with Manchester United or England I've always said I'll carry on doing it because I'm confident enough to overcome anything," he told a press conference in Lisbon. Had Beckham converted his penalty, England would have led France 2-0. That would have giving the English an important point from a draw after French wonder Zinedine Zidane scored two goals in injury time.
