100 not out

[lions]

David Beckham has spoken of his delight in the prospects of reaching and claiming his 100th cap against France this week.The LA Galaxy player who was left out of Fabio Capellos first squad has been recalled to take a place within this second England squad picked by Capello.Beckham made it clear he has no intentions to retirer after eventually gaining his 100th cap,quoted as saying:
"Its an honour."but insisted that he does not wish to stop there for playing for England."Its not about having your 100th game and then retire.Its about carrying on and trying to play well for my Country."

To reach 100 caps is quite an acheivement by any player imo,and whether we like the man or not it has to be said congrats should be the order of the day for Beckham,who in his time has been the saviour of despair for England on afew occassions.
However though his chances of further caps are getting smaller and smaller as Capello looks at testing younger players for the future England team,and that with this in mind most new additional caps will no-doubt come from being a subsitute.

A man of real mental strength more than anything else, something which not all these "stars" nowadays have.

Could not agree even more,Capello is fortunate to come in to already know of Becks mentallity,through the time of managing Real Mardrid and dropped Becks who at the time was in his opinion not for the future.
Only to witness Beckhams determination to prove such critics wrong,and force Capello to openly swallow his own words and publically change his initial thoughts of Beckham,as Beckham trained hard and forced himself back into the starting 11 to become the teams best player by far for the title winning season.
