http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/7304322.stmGlad Becks is back in, has worked hard to maintain his fitness despite not playing much. Slightly surprised at Walcott however be good to see what he can do. I actually thought Robinson had done well for Spurs recently and thought he may have got 3rd pick instead of Kirkland.

After West Ham losing 4 nil 3 games on the bounce I don't think that went in RG's favour whether it was him at fault or not.
I don't think Capello generally rates him. he can't do to pick Kirkland ahead.

I don't think Beckham has done anything to warrant a 100th cap!
He hasn't played top level football since he left Madrid last summer, almost a year ago now!
I'd far rather see David Bentley follow on his impressive showing from last time out.

Becks is one of the few players that would play for England for free and for the love of his country.
I think an 100th cap in a friendly is the least he deserves for his services to the team.

I'd far rather see David Bentley follow on his impressive showing from last time out. ....and I bet after all that. He's the still the most technically gifted and best player in the squad. |

I think they should only get caps for competitive games anyway.

Beckham turned his back on being a genuine England player when he went to the states to Mickey Mouse football just for the $$$ in my opinion - fuck him.
Kirkland, when fit, is the best English keeper by a mile.

You should only get caps for playing against the home nations.

Perfect time to blood players like Walcott / Agbonlahor / Wheater; two and a half years (hopefully) until the next tournament and six months (ish) until we start qualifying for it. Theo's been mighty impressive lately, although i do wish Wenger would play him more often.
I'm really not convinced Beckham will be anywhere near the squad in 2 years time, but if they're going to draw a line under his England career by giving him his 100th cap, then so be it.

Kirkland is a superb keeper. Deservedly recognised by being put in the squad.
Beckham still wouldn't be in my squad. He is of no use to our build up to the WC, so as such shouldn't be picked
