MUNICH -- Sven Goran Eriksson admitted England captain David Beckham kept him in the dark about the illness that caused him to vomit on the pitch after scoring his match-winning free-kick against Ecuador on Sunday.
Beckham's brilliant 35-meter curler was the only goal of a dour game that put England through to a quarterfinal showdown with Portugal, but moments after scoring the Real Madrid midfielder doubled over and threw up on the pitch.
The 30-year-old Beckham said he had felt unwell before the game.
