Beckham to win 100th England cap
David Beckham will win his 100th England cap in the friendly against France on Wednesday, coach Fabio Capello has confirmed.
"I couldn't make him come all the way from the USA and not play him," said Capello, who did not reveal whether Beckham, 32, would start the fixture.
"Nobody knows what the future holds. The David Beckham I know can get to 2010 if he works and trains hard.
"If he carries on training and working hard as he is, he can easily last."
Former England captain Beckham will join a select band of England centurions on Wednesday, joining Bobby Moore, Bobby Charlton, Billy Wright and Peter Shilton.
Whether Beckham could surpass Shilton's record of 125 caps is uncertain but he does feel he can still be involved come the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
By then Beckham would have just turned 35.
"It is something I want to reach," said Beckham.
"I would love to play and be part of the squad in 2010. But I'm taking it as it comes - who knows what is round the corner?
"The combination of the players and the combination of manager and staff is setting us up right for the qualification games for the World Cup." :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
