Default Beckham recalled to England squad

Former captain David Beckham has been named in the England squad for the first time since the 2006 World Cup.

Coach Steve McClaren's U-turn means Beckham, 32, is set to start Friday's friendly against Brazil followed by the Euro 2008 qualifier in Estonia.

Fit-again Newcastle striker Michael Owen returns in place of Wayne Rooney, who is suspended for the Estonia game.

England Head Coach Steve McClaren has named a 26 man squad for the forthcoming matches with Brazil and Estonia.

David Bentley and Nicky Shorey, of Blackburn Rovers and Reading respectively, have been named for the first time after eye-catching displays in Friday's 'B' international victory over Albania.

Chelsea's Joe Cole, whose season has been blighted by injury, will join up with the squad after a long period away from the international scene.

England will play Brazil at Wembley Stadium - the Three Lions first visit to the new stadium - before travelling to Estonia for a Euro 2008 Qualifier on 6 June.

England squad:


Paul Robinson
Scott Carson
Robert Green
Phil Neville
Rio Ferdinand
John Terry
Wayne Bridge
Wes Brown
Jamie Carragher
Michael Dawson
Ledley King
Nicky Shorey
David Beckham
Steven Gerrard
Jermaine Jenas
Joe Cole
Aaron Lennon
David Bentley
Michael Carrick
Frank Lampard
Stewart Downing
Kieron Dyer
Peter Crouch
Michael Owen
Alan Smith
Jermain Defoe

im sure alot will disagree but i dont think david beckham should ever have been left out of the england squad

bex always gives 100% when he played for his country, cant say that about all the other england players.

you need to be a british lion when playing for england .. people seem to forget a certain free kick and the running around in the last ten minutes of that game that got us to the tournament in the first place..

David Beckham is a poncy little twonk and as far as everyone can see McClaren is now possibly the weakest England manager we've had.
Now Becks has his place back it looks like young talent like Aaron Lennon will now be benched, its a load of bs.

i dont think it shows weakness... i think it shows character to admit your wrong or reverse a decision when circumstances change... and Aaron lennon is injured no?

Beckham was worth a squad place at the very least. A place in the actual team is debatable. Players like Lampard getting an automatic team spot while Beckham never even made the squad was a disgrace.

Just watched a recent Real Madrid game v Seville. No one can make a long-distance pass like Beckham. 40-50-60 yards right to the attacker's foot, in stride. He should be on the squad until he can no longer walk.

If McClaren doesn't put him in the starting 11, I think there will be a lot of noise.

And who will be the strikers? Owen and Crouch? An unlikely pair. Smith off the bench in the 65th?

I hope we can see the Estonia match for less that $25 PPV.

I agree with you, i think he should never have been left out of the squad, but hey fans and pundits are fickle creatures.

I've always said that Beckham, despite not being on top form in the last world cup, was the only one with any form at all, and he single handedly got england to the knock out stages, he either socred or caused to be scored every goal england had.

anywho, for the so many people who think they know everything there is to know about football, but cant be bothered to look more than 45 minutes in any direction, i'm happy to say....told you so...


Its a shame that no-one in the football industry or fans can see more than one game ahead or destroy someones career based on one game. I hope that Alan Hanson chokes on his witless prattling. I mean look at alex furgeson, he was given a few years in charge, that's what you get when you stick sith someone, not use them like a toilet roll and flush them out as soon as things get a bit tough. Scaegoats should be used sapringly in footbal imo.

Anyway, i hope becks does well, and i really hope that he ends up having the best performance of any england player ever, just to show how a very very bad decision was made by the manager. It was a backlash against Sven rather than becks, but he copped it. I still feel that it's the players fault for the world cup, not sven.

Our new manager hasnt exactly got a great record atm has he, and it makes me laugh when people said hes the only man for the job cos hes english and understands the game, lol.

Lol Tag

Your post is basically saying Beckham should'nt have been judged on a few games (I beg to differ, Beckham has performed well on a handful of occasions and is useless the majority of the time, but the occasions where he does perform well are hyped by the media / seem to be the only games people remember) but you seem to condone McLaren being written off after not even being given a chance to get going.

Hmmmm...
