England v Germany Preview
You can view a match preview online here. David Beckham is expected to play in what will be his 97th appearance for England, some pundits are tipping him to start but it remains unconfirmed. Either way let’s hope England win and that Becks has a great game 
with no ill-effects! 
Television details – In the UK the match which kicks-off at 8PM BST will be aired live on BBC One. In the US the game will screen on FSC at 5PM ET (there is a 2 hour delay)

In other news, former Real Madrid Manager, Fabio Capello has given an interview in which he has claimed that the decision to side-line David Beckham was not his. He also mentions that when he arrived Real Madrid had a very difficult dressing room with a number of factions in conflict you can read his comments, online here. I certainly look forward to David Beckham’s next autobiography.

Hi,the comments are very interesting! I would like to know mor about it. I think the last season was very difficult for Real Madrid and it is so up to the management how it works.I'm waiting for the game. I'm in a cheering conflict, because I'm from Germany. May the better one will win.I hope Davids ankle will hold on and he scores!!!Kind regards,Nadja

I love your sight.I live in the US and went to the RedBull/Galaxy game. True soccer fans loved the game and loved that Becks played. The schedule Galaxy has put together is horrible, flying cross country as much as he did in 2 weeks is terrible.They MLS knows about the set fixture dates. I know the coach of the Galaxy is given Becks the freedom to make the choice to play or not. I enjoy watching him play and hope that he has a great game for England and does not push playing here Thursday. Again great sight..

yeah, David never lost his respect for Capello, he only lost his respect for Calderon—because lets face it Calderon is not exactly a man of his word. But yup, love to hear what was really going on there, but look at it this way the media, and the fans really let their opinions known to Calderon in a number of matches. The sports journalists only hinted and mentioned the groups among the teams in passing and never really went out and said what they have observed.Marie

Well as for respect to Real..Becks never disrespected them and continued to show his professionalism..too bad Calderon did not..I for one am glad he is out of there. I think the thing you can say about Beckham..through all his ups and downs and abuse he has taken..he has maintained his level of respect, we here in the USA have listened to him on all sorts of interviews and he continually speaks of respect for others and he teaches his children to be respectful..so power to him for that. It only makes you like him more and more..true professional…tough game tonight..again he showed love of country..Don't know how he does it..I can't keep up with all the time zones…and I am sitting in one spot…

Too bad England lost, Becks created good chances. Yesterday just wasn't the day.
Michael Owen missed an incredible chance.Cute gesture from Becks to Steven Taylor. Can I say Taylor is hot?Ok…he's hot. 
)))))))))No comments about Capello and Madrid. *rolling eyes*It's not the first time Capello says it wasn't his decision'to exclude Becks from the squad.And it's obvious that Calderón and Mijatovic got mad because Becks announced at the same day, just hours after he decided not to renew with Madrid that he would joing LA Galaxy.That's why they keep on saying Becks already had signed the contract.Don't think this is true. What is true is that Madrid never showed that they really wanted to renew his contract and after january Becks could look to some offers from other teams and La Galaxy was one of them. Really hate the way Real Madrid CF behaved with Becks. Since the beginning, when they bought him, they only used him to earn more millions.Really don't like this team. There are lots of reasons to dislike them, not only Becks.Anyway, at least they have good supporters and some good bunch of players that really knew how to value Becks.Thanks for videos, Anna.:DAnd thanks for the MLS mag scans, Diane. I really appreciate you taking your time to share it with all the other Becks fans.
