Will Beckham get his 100th cap for England?

[carnaross]

I'm betting there's a friendly organised just so Beckham can get his 100th cap. He's already stating he can still play for his country, but (IMO) not competitively in the next World Cup.
BTW What price that the friendly is against USA?

I hope he does.  At least Beckham still wants to play for his country.  At least when he was dropped after the World Cup he didn't go off in a huff and retire from International football like many others would have, he stated he would try and fight hes way back into the team.  How many footballers quit their country at a young age nowdays, Beckham is a good example of someone who is proud to play for his country.

He done as hes always done in the second half - grafted hard (covered back at right full a few times) and delivered a couple of good crosses when the ball was delivered to his feet - the ball to Crouch in particular being as good as you will see. In addition he is as good as ever on the dead ball so no evidence thus far as to why he couldn't continue - and more power to him.

He should get 100 caps, but only if he can count them himself

Reminds me of a joke was doing the rounds during Beckham's Man U days.

Alex Ferguson is getting worried about his team's recent poor form
against Arsenal. He just can't understand it, Man U are the biggest club
in Europe, have all the best players etc, but every time they play the
Gunners, they get beaten. So Alex gives Arsene Wenger a call and
explains his problem. Arsene is very understanding and invites Alex
down to watch his team training. So Alex turns up in London and spends
a day watching the Arsenal players.


At the end of the training session he says to Arsene "I still don't
understand, we seem to do all the same things in training
that you do, but you still beat us all the time".
"Ah" says Mr Wenger, "I don't think its anything to do with the
training. I think its because my players are more intelligent than yours".

Alex looks a bit peeved and asks Arsene "What the hell do you mean by
that?".
"Well" says Arsene, "We also train our boys in lateral thinking".
To demonstrate his point he calls over Dennis Bergkamp. "Dennis, here's
a problem for you. He's you father's son, but he's not your brother; who
is he?".
"That's easy" says Bergkamp, Its me."
"Correct" says Arsene. Alex is very impressed. He goes back to
Manchester and next day in training he calls over David Beckham. "David, I've
been talking to Arsene Wenger and he reckons his players are more
intelligent than ours".
"That's bollocks, Boss", is Beckham's considered reply.
"OK", says Alex, "I've got a question for you. He's your father's son,
but he's not your brother. Who is he?"
Beckham looks blank and replies "Need some time to think about this one
boss, can I tell you tomorrow?"
Alex agrees and Beckham goes home thinking about the problem. He asks
Posh Spice, but she hasn't a clue what he's talking about. He eventually
decides to give Jaap Stam a call, thinking that as Arsenal have a lot of
foreign players, maybe he will understand.
"Hello Jaap, its David. I've got a question for you. He's your father's
son, but he's not your brother. Who is he?".
"That's easy", says Jaap, "Its me".
So Beckham calls over Alex Fergurson the next day in training and says
"Morning Boss, I've got the answer to that question"
"OK. What is it?" asks Alex.
"Its Jaap Stam" replies the confident Beckham.
"You stupid bastard" shouts Alex, "Its NOT Jaap Stam.............Its
Dennis Bergkamp!"
