4sportsake.com 3/27/2008 — The revolution within the set-up of the English national football team that many people have expected from new manager Fabio Capello or why else pay him about £6million a year? will clearly take longer to transpire than we had all hoped. England, ...

David Bentley: Beckham will bow down to me — CaughtOffside.com
He might be just 23 years of age but Blackburn’s right sided midfielder David Bentley is yearning for glory.

Liverpool captain asks more of Manchester United striker — CaughtOffside.com
England barely looked like scoring against France on Wednesday night. They may have had a few half-chances but it was hardly the sort of attacking performance that will be expected, nay demanded, from the fans. It’s early days in the Fabio Capello regime with the Italian keen on pursuing a 4-5-1 formation, utilising Wayne Rooney as the front man and Steven Gerrard in a supporting role. ...
The Death Of An Icon — Twohundredpercent
Some of you may have noticed the minute's silence prior to the match between France and England on Wednesday night. This was to mark the death, at the age of 49, of Thierry Gilardi, France's very own "Voice Of Football". When Franck Ribery was booked for ripping of his shirt after scoring the only goal of the match, it was a tribute to Gilardi that was printed on the vest underneath it, and ...
Becksie wants more and more and more! — CaughtOffside.com
David Beckham exhibited and ineffectual and somewhat indifferent performance against France (like most of his team mates) on Wednesday as England lost 1-0 to the French in Paris in an international friendly but the former Manchester United and Real Madrid midfielder says that he is not at all eager to hang up his Golden Boots(or Balls!) anytime soon.
Becksie insists :
I’m very ...

France 1-0 England (And Other Trivialities) — Twohundredpercent
So, another Wednesday and another week of international friendlies. I'm always somewhat confused over whether we're supposed to care or not, and you had to at least be somewhat impressed by the marketing skills of the French Football Federation, who somehow managed to convince 80,000 Parisians that France vs England was some sort of major sporting event. Perhaps it said that it was a rugby ...
France 1 - 0 England (Over to You, Nick Hornby) — The Run of Play
#5 David Beckham is England’s best player.
This seemed so obvious tonight that I couldn’t remember why he’d ever been dropped from the squad in the first place. It had to be some combination of politics and petty resentment, right? But how could anyone be that short-sighted? Around that time, I remembered the existence of Steve McClaren.
Nick’s Pick : ...

France 1-0 England zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Lescott didn't get injured tonight. That's about the only news. Nice to see Beckham get his 100th cap but ultimately that was a poor, poor, poor, poor, poor game. Not many people out there desperate to show the new boss what they can do. It seemed like the players had taken Nicolas Sarkozy's warm & comradely words to heart. Now ...
Arsenal captain expecting feisty ‘friendly’ with England — CaughtOffside.com
Will tonight’s match between France and England really be any different to the usual dross that accompanies friendly internationals? It’s not exactly great timing as far as the domestic season is concerned and surely Messrs Domenech and Capello will only be allowing certain players a small amount of time on the pitch as a result.
Nevertheless, William Gallas is insisting through ...

Chelsea’s hypocrite of a captain backs rule changes but still misses out on England skipper role — CaughtOffside.com

The youngster has come a ...
Becks still has England future — 4sportsake
It looks like Fabio Capello is going to hand David Beckham is 100th cap against France on Wednesday night. It's a decision that will probably split opinion among England fans down the middle but I'll hold my hand up and say I think he deserves it.
There's no doubt there's an element of sentimentality about his recall. Beckham is certainly fitter than he was before the Switzerland game last ...
