Beckham axed by England







Snubbed: David Beckham





Fabio Capello has told David Beckham that he will not be part of his first England squad, which is being named this afternoon.
The England manager telephoned the midfielder last night and broke the news to Beckham - who is just one appearance short of becoming the fifth man to earn 100 England caps - but assured him he could be part of his plans for the future.

It is understood that Capello told the 32-year-old he wanted his players to be match-fit, and that naming Beckham in his squad to face Switzerland next week would be unfair on those who have been playing in matches week-in, week-out.


Beckham is very disappointed by the news, especially as he has been training with Arsenal during his holiday - Major League Soccer's close season - to get fit for Capello's first game in charge, the friendly against Switzerland at Wembley on Wednesday.

He has however been encouraged by his talk with Capello about the future.

In the phonecall, Capello told Beckham he was still part of his plans and that there was no reason why he will not pick him again as long as he is fit enough and playing well enough for the Los Angeles Gal


axy.

It is also understood that Capello had no issue with Beckham going to Brazil and Africa this week.

capello i do like you and think you will do well for us but this sureley a joke i urge you to rethink

Why we have other great right wingers..... Why i could name you 3 now if i wanted.....erm i just dont want too!

I agree!! Has he not learnt anything from Stve Mclarens mistakes!!!

there's alot more wrong with englands national team than david "no legs" beckham, he's still got the set pieces and the passing, but you want a winger with pace and knows how to get past defenders

De ja vu.....

i will be intrigued to see this qquad though cause hes been about watching loads of games

Lennon.

stop spamming u tw@ lol

dave kitson im telling you

I mean Aaron Lennon would be better in that position, excellent player.

The only reason this is getting publicity 'cos the 100 cap bollocks. He should earn it, not just handed to him on a plate. i'd pick Lennon, wright-phillips ahead of him.

lennon is in the under 21 squads

He should be promoted.

We've got Lennon,Wright-Phillips and also Bentley can play there. But i agree that Beckham shouldn't of been left out the squad,when mclaren left him out the squad we were crap,then he came back and we looked different.

Capello is right to leave him out, hasn't played in months, will be unfit... good to see the players are picked on form.

Agree with thee.

Good squad picked from Capello, he's put thought into it

fuck 100th cap, ive said before beckham isnt fit enough nor good enough to put the shirt on, bring on bentley i say, hes earned his place from this seasons performances

i think he deserves 100 hes been a great ambassordor for the country

Yeah, let him get his 100th, then tell him to piss off

i see it as stricktly football, fuck records

Simple, if he aint fit enough, why play him?

Give hime the 100th cap, but not on Wednesday. The Switzerland game is about rebuilding under Capello after McLaren's failure, and Becks is not one for the future and is not as good as SWP, Lennon or Bentley and Young and Walcott will be better than him in 3 years time.
