MattM4 0 Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 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. Reading's Nicky Shorey and David Bentley of Blackburn are also included in the 26-man squad.Full England squad to face Brazil and Estonia: Goalkeepers: Robinson (Tottenham), Carson (Liverpool), Green (West Ham). Defenders: P Neville (Everton), R Ferdinand (Man Utd), Terry (Chelsea), Bridge (Chelsea), Brown (Man Utd), Carragher (Liverpool), Dawson (Tottenham), King (Tottenham), Shorey (Reading). Midfielders: Beckham (Real Madrid), Gerrard (Liverpool), Jenas (Tottenham), J Cole (Chelsea), Lennon (Tottenham), Bentley (Blackburn), Carrick (Man Utd), Lampard (Chelsea), Downing (Middlesbrough), Dyer (Newcastle). Forwards: Crouch (Liverpool), Owen (Newcastle), Smith (Man Utd), Defoe (Tottenham). http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/i...als/6694743.stm Even though I wanted him out of the first eleven and out as captain, glad for Beckham, he has deserved to be in the squad... a regular started maybe not..

Jimbo 133 Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 If the likes of Jenas and Dyer can get in the squad, then Beckham thoroughly deserves his recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 6147 Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 How is Jenas still getting in these squads!? Spurs did us a huge favour buying him, even his own fans hate him. Some games he just seems to be getting in the way of the other 10 players trying to get on with the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyluke 1 Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Beckham should tell him where to go.. I thought he pretty much did by buggering off to join the circus in America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Manson 0 Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 No Ashley Cole? Not complaining, he just seems to be included because he's a 'big name'. Glad to see Shorey in there, reckon the guy deserves a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
