Message for 192. Well now that he has got 108 caps­ would it not be better if Mr Beckham went back to the­ U.S.A. His record is played 54 FULL GAMES and 54 part­ games. Never mind he has one record all on his own, The­ only English player to be sent off twice well done­ Becks. will we qualify for the next world­ cup???????????. Disappointed

I can't believe all the cr@p I am reading. You­­ worthless bunch of shirt shifters wouldn't even be­­ good enough to clean Beckham's boots. Why does­ everyone­ focus on the media hype that surrounds­ Beckham.­ Don't you people realise that if the man­ didn't­ have qualities, he wouldn't have been­ picked as the­ team captain let alone played for the­ England team. The­ problem with so many people nowadays­ is that they try­ to bring people down. If Beckham is­ no good, why is­ Milan so interested in him staying?­ Because he has what­ a lot of you posting don't­ have and that is quality­ and football sense.

What was the point? why are we still playing Cole­ & Terry when chelski are playing poor.

Where was­ the passion as found in the premier league?

This further proves how @#$% English foorball is. Only­ thing making it good is the foreign players.

We can not but to give it to Hero Beckhanh for good­ touches­ and great passing. Hmmmm

Good post and comments Yolando. very true

O Boy, that was one boring English midfield yesterday­ Capello, Lampard - Gerrard would have produced perhaps­ better results

Gracias Yolanda! i agree that most teams have there­ moments of glory and some day we may have ours again.­ Spain are and always have been a great footballing­ nation, and will continue to entertain us with your­ brilliant technical abilities. If England dont have any­ success in SA (providing we get there) then I hope­ Spain or Brazil win it.

Same Old, Same Old England. @#$%!

I'm glad we have finally played a decent side, as a­ reality check was necessary. Although I think we're­ better under Capello, we can clearly see there's a­ lot of work to be done. Spain were without a centre­ half and a midfielder that would walk into most sides­ in the world, and they still made us look ordinary. At­ no point were they not in control, quite happy for us­ to stay in our own half and pass sideways, but once we­ crossed the halfway line, they took the ball back­ without any problem. That said, both their goals were­ the result of defensive errors, which may well not have­ happened had we been fielding our first choice central­ defensive partnership. Our goal threat was virtually­ non existent, and we didn't get the few chances we­ had on target, and I was surprised every time (or­ should that be both times) in the 2nd half that­ Lampard's name was mentioned, or Carrick's for­ that matter; I'd almost forgotten they were­ playing. As friendly matches go, it was useful in­ showing us what needs to be done. As for the large­ number of people who posted here thinking it was some­ kind of forum for pouring out bile on the English­ nation for the last thousand years of foreign policy,­ why stop there? Let's have a go at the Iraqis­ (Babylonian empire), the Iranians (Persian empire), the­ Greeks (Macedonian empire), the Italians (Roman­ empire), or if we can only attack contempories of the­ British empire, that just leaves the Dutch, the­ Spanish, the Portuguese, the French and the Germans,­ all of whom had similarly aggressive foreign policies­ in their day. Have I gone too far? You might want to­ clean the windows in that glass house....

England were not poor or bad last night just that Spain­ were awesome. Capello is THE man to build the team,­ whether or not English players have the technical­ ability of some of there foreign peers is to be seen­ !!!!!

Hi everybody...well as a spaniard, I obviously feel­ very proud of the result last night...being realistic,­ I think Spain's game was superb, brilliant and­ classy...England's game was not bad but was lacking­ a lot...all I can say is that several national teams­ get sooner or later their moment of glory...Germany had­ it, France had it, Italy had it.. and now is­ Spain's turn...that's all....and for sure­ England will have it too...in all honesty, Spain has a­ lot of respect for english football as yet...since they­ have always been considered as a powerful country in­ this sport...I have been living in UK for more than 10­ years..and i remember at that time...all they were­ showing is italian football....now all they show is­ spanish football...well..definetely something has­ changed and we need to enjoy it...but hey England..your­ moment will arrive too...do dont give up!!! :-)

?

#169 neil e, Absolutely crack on fella !! Spain were­ more than decent last night and as we did not have our­ best side out you cannot thoroughly judge "where­ we are" without the obvious talents that were­ missing for one reason or another. Capello's­ "the" man, trust him to do his job and when­ we've qualified for the World Cup no-one will give­ a flying @#$% about last nights Friendly !! Suggest­ we the fans get behind the team fully because the­ players are our current crop and support is always­ better than derision. We need some new terrace songs­ to sing as well, cos the team needs a big lift at times­ and whilst we all love the standards, we need to give­ the team a bigger boost from the stands. Well done to­ Spain though , thanks for showing us the way forward !!

cap6662....Where do you live? I am guessing you live in­ England, so why dont you just be a good little boy and­ fly to a nice little island and stay their

well done David on your 108 caps. a great acheivment.­ the england manager should play becks in every game. if­ all the team showed as much passion and patriotism we­ might have a better chance in world football. becks is­ still the best crosser and provider in the english game­ and gives 200% every time. more of the same please­ David. From Ashton.

Hey cap6662 what are you going on about man, it's a­ football game, a sport. Grow up and if you hate England­ so much what are you doing writing anything about it.­ Engand lost a football game boohoo get over it.

Excellent football by Spain, they showed us how the­ game is meant to be played these days. Very good­ reality check for England, yes so they missed Rooney,­ Gerrard, J.Cole.... but i personally don't think­ that the scoreline would have been any better in­ England's favour even with these key players in the­ team.

I HEARD LAST NIGHT THAT DAVID BECKHAM ON REACHING HIS­ 108TH CAP THAT A KNIGHTHOOD SHOULD BE GIVEN, IF SO WHY­ WASN'T PETER SHILTON WHO HOLDS THE RECORD FOR THE­ MOST INTL CAPS 128 GIVEN A KNIGHTHOOD. WHATS BECKHAM­ GOT TO DO WITH A KNIGHTHOOD. EVEN GIGGS NAME CAME UP­ FOR A KNIGHTHOOD FROM A MAN UTD SOURCE THIS IS WHAT­ THEY GET PAID FOR JUST COS HE'S BEEN A GOOD BOY ALL­ THIS TIME DOESN'T ENTITLE HIM OR ANY OTHER­ FOOTBALLER TO A GONG. IVE PAID MY TAXES ETC ALL MY LIFE­ BUT I WONT GET A ANYTHING EXCEPT POORER. PEOPLE WHO­ SAVE THE WORLD GET KNIGHTHOODS NOT THE BECKHAMS OR­ GIGGS.

Well you can understand how Spain won the Euros . They­ are a brillant team and yes the best in the Europe and­ possibly the world . England lost with a second string­ mid-field no Rooney and a badly missed Rio . However­ how are we going to score goals and who have we got to­ score them . England have One world class striker in­ Rooney and he doesnt score that much . I did laugh when­ Fat Lampard sorry Frank Lampard was on the bench .
