This thread is a joke with the likes of phil, durs, divegeester and Hell's caretaker vindinctively targeting a player who has done huge amounts for the English national team, for apparently no good reason apart from his success and lifestyle.
He either deserves another England cap due to his form, or he doesn't.
What he doesn't need is to be excluded ...[text shortened]... rstand a little more the mentality of the English "supporters" who boo their own team.

Some English fans are hilarious.
So he has nearly broken the record number of caps only because he can sell shirts? Of course, him being made captain for 6 years is for the same reason. And of course the Greeks allowed him score THAT last minute goal so that the FA could fill more seats.
Don't ever forget that without Beckham, you wouldn't have been ...[text shortened]... ll that, unless he does well at Milan, he doesn't currently deserve another England cap.

Nobody has claimed Beckham is better than another player. He probably is bigger (presumably you mean more famous, although knowing your vacuous mind, you may actually mean in stature) than Best around the world.
I just happen to disagree with your position which states that if your name is David Beckham, then you shouldn't have another cap, completely disregarding typcial criteria for international selection.
Out of interest, did you boo Ghaly in the cup, durs?

good one RAG... 100+ odd caps and the only highlight you could come up with is the ONE GOAL AGAINST the mighty Greeks.

By the way, as of May '06, Beckham had also provided 29 assists in 94 games. After being dropped and recalled, he provided 3 assists for England's 4 goals in his first two games back. He has also scored 17 goals for his country.
Among the records held by England players, he is 1 of 4 centurions, 1 of 10 players to play in 3 World Cups, holds the record for the most WC and EC appearances, he is 23rd on the all time England goalscoring charts.
But tell us again how you're jealous of his career, and because of this he doesn't deserve any more caps, regardless of form.

good points Phil.

And if you hate the SKY generation so much, why were you using "Liverpool have never won the PL" angle the other week?
You're a fool and a hypocrite. Stick to phoning 606.
-Removed-I wouldn't say Beckham has been a great player for England, he's often been a good player but rarely great.
Like you say though, if Capello thinks he can add something to the squad he should be in the squad.
Beckham can still get assists from set pieces against any team so I think Capello should still include Beckham because he could make a differance coming off the bench against a top side or even in the WC in 2010 if he can keep his fitness.
I really don't think Capello has him in the squad because the FA are telling him he has to pick Beckham for commercial reasons.
It was Capello at Real Madrid that was the first manager to drop Beckham before McClown ever thought of doing it.
-Removed-To me, from the title of the thread it just looks sombody is having a go at Beckham. It makes no mention of should he be given the cap on current form, it just starts of with a bit of cr*p about him only being interested in money, and being over rated. Then moves on to Milan being ashamed for signing him!
At know point were any of you discussing the merits of his form for getting the caps, untill Rag joined the thread. It was the bashers doing the ranting, while Rag was stating the facts. I was mearly pointing out the good things that David Beckham has done for football in general, not just for the English game but for the good of the game around the world, and its this that i respect him for.
-Removed-no, the original post said nothing about form.
'Please ,dont let beckham equal or surpass bobby moores england caps , He must be the most overrated player i have ever ..ever known ,all he is interested in is dosh !!!!'
as you can see (if you can indeed read) is that the thread creator doesn't want beckham to get another cap because he is
a. overrated, and
b. only interested in 'dosh'
which you replied with
'Totaly agree, Milan should be ashamed and so should he. After the Galaxy move (and to be honest who wouldn't have) I would have respected him more if he had come back to the UK for 3 months with a mid table outfit and got his boots dirty.
............And as for his preposterous wife!'
i see nothing of the mention of form here. in fact i see you totally agreeing or as you put it 'totaly agree'
i will go on.

'He's done more for promoting football around the world than any other player since Pele.'
which you replied with
'Yep, football was unheard of before Becks saved it from obscurity and poverty. Thank you David.'
not mentioning anything about form here are we. go to any country in the world and ask them to name one footballer, 9/10 they will say beckham.
i will go on
'Originally posted by phil3000
beckham is a shirt seller and puts bums on seats thats why he has so many caps , money is his god as is the fa and every club which signs him he is not there to win games thats for sure !! To even say his name in context with pele !! funniest thing i have heard for a long time ...'
which you replied with
'Spot on. The only 3 reason he is still around are:
1) The Americans haven't got a scooby doo about football and still think beckham has got legs
2) The italians need to sell shirts (he will only be eligible to play for two months)
3) The FA have got Wembley to pay for and need bums on seats as you quite correctly point out phil3000'
again, where's the form talk? where? tell me. oh yes that's right the only people that have said anything about form in this thread are rag and myself.
you are a fool and a hypocrite the words speak for themselves. you're obviously a man utd hater and lets face it you're a bit of a retard.
in the quoted post
'But that is that is point of the discussion'
what retard? speck english.
if you paused your retardedness for 5 seconds, wait better make that 2 hours and reread the thread you will see that you and your little friends are talking about why the 'overrated' 'over paid' 'model' 'shirt seller' 'only interested in money' david beckham shouldn't beat moores england caps record....it's not the 'i hope beckham doesn't reach or beat moores cap tally because he's not playing good enough' thread, no that would be about form which is 'totaly' not what this thread is about unfortunately. a lot of sad little people posting in this thread.
now run back off to the spirituality forum with all the other retards we have enough of them posting in this forum already.
