David Beckham BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH
Capello cannot have this issue hanging over his head, he needs to get it out the way. Only 25 more England caps till Beckham breaks Peter Shilton’s record. It’s going to be the elephant in the room untill he gets his caps. Who cares if he is essentially a part time footballer? Only 25 more caps and the issue is done and dusted, dead and buried.
At the moment Bobby Moore and Bobby Charlton have more caps than him. How can you expect David Beckham to show his face in the La Galaxy locker room, among such greats as former MLS comeback player of the year Chris Klein, when Beckham doesn’t even have more England caps than Bobby Moore?
Prior to the England v. France David Beckham testimonial match, Beckham said “I may be a squad player who comes on to take a free kick to win the game”.This is fantastic news for England , Beckham has carved out a niche where no matter how unfit he is, he can be wheeled out for more emotional glory filled GOAL! or Roy of the Rovers inspired clap fests.
England has two options:
1. Give Beckham 25 more caps.
2. Give David Bentley a couple of silly haircuts and a celebrity girlfriend.
One or the other Fabio, the choice is yours.
I think the choice will be made for him though. After the match Beckham told of how he felt “very fresh”. Maybe more players should forget about competitive fixtures and move to semi retirement. Michael Owen could go and play in Quatar, Frank Lampard could agree to a deal in Dubai and finally England would be over the hump 11 fresh players. Goodbye Premiership, hello World Cup Winners.
