This week England Boss Fabio Capello decided to opt out Former England Captain David Beckham from the England squad against Switzerland, meaning the LA Galaxy star would have to wait for his 100th cap.
The reason given was that Capella felt that Beckham wasn't match fit having not played competitive football for 2 months. The midfielder insisted that he was fit as he had been training with Arsenal
I guess as a fan I am somewhat disappointed. I mean considering all that he has done for England over the years. He's a player who always gives 100 percent and a milestone 100th cap is really not too difficult to give considering it's just a friendly match. But hey.......what do I know, I ain't no football team manager.
Check this out......I think this sounds very familiar. Remember a certain wally with a brolly who wanted to make his mark on being England coach by dropping Beckham only to turn to him for help at the latter stages of Euro2008 qualifying. He got sacked in the end!
And Capello who prefers more pacey wingers in his team also dropped Beckham in favour of Jose Reyes in his Real Madrid days. As a result Beckham decided to swop Real for LA but not before bouncing back to help Real to the La Liga title. Capello got sacked!
Don't get me wrong, I support Capello as England boss and it does take more than just training with Arsenal to gain match fitness. But what about the subs bench??? Hmmm........we'll see.
Danker out!
