You got a Frenchman: Zidane
Portugese: Figo
Brazilians: Ronaldo + Roberto Carlos (also Portugese)
Spaniards: Raul +others (Spanish league)
Only people that speak English: Beckham and Figo
something not many people know...
I could be wrong...

Yes, but Real are a Spanish team, so speaking only English doesn't do Beckham many favours.
Multi cultural squads aren't just an issue for them though, and it doesn't necessarily contribute to the team underperforming, we need only look to Arsenal and Chelsea for prime examples of how well such teams can work.
I don't think the departue of Beckham has adversely affected United in any way, and I doubt he'd have been able to make any difference to their abysmal season had he stayed. They may have had slightly more favourable goal difference if he'd been taking free kicks for them, however.
