Beckham World of Sport in Brazil
(Source: The Canadian Press) SAO PAULO, Brazil - David Beckham will announce plans Tuesday for his third soccer academy - the Beckham World of Sport in Brazil, a sports complex that will be located in a soon-to-be-built luxury resort that backers say will be one of the country's largest.The latest David Beckham Academy will be among the highlights of the new development in northeastern Brazil, according to a statement by the Cabo Sao Roque resort, which will be built near the resort city of Natal.
Beckham is a partner in the resort project, and also will oversee the academy, a soccer training facility on the resort's grounds. Beckham's academies already have been established in London and at the Home Depot Center in the Los Angeles suburb of Carson, home to the Los Angeles Galaxy and the U.S. national teams programs.
Internet filled with unconfirmed rumors about Becks' 100th cap
As many fans have already pointed out, there are a whole lot of unconfirmed rumors and hearsay about Capello having let his "inner-circle" know he intends to leave Beckham out of his first squad for the friendly against Switzerland. The reason would be that Capello is doubting the player's fitness level. The 32 year old played his last match last October with L.A. Galaxy.
We all know that he's been training hard so I think it's just best to wait for the official announcement before jumping to any conclusion. How trustworthy is an inner-circle that would leak such information anyways. Here is a link to an interesting article on this rumor, which contains a small poll amongst the paper's writers at the end. Click here to read.
Other, nicer unconfirmed reports: Becks to host cystic fibrosis charity dinner
TheSun.co.uk was reporting that Beckham will replace Thierry Henry in a cystic fibrosis charity dinner. He was quoted:
"As soon as I found out I couldn’t be there I contacted David and he was only too happy to fill my shoes. That’s the sort of guy he is."
Please click here to read the full story, which is a nice read about challenges faced because of it by a close friend of Henry who has a daughter with the disease.

Don't believe the hype
The England v Switerland game is a friendly.
With England being out of Euro 2008 England fans are angry so they are unlikely to fill the stadium.
The only way they can fill the stadium is to ensure the game is billed at David Beckham's 100 cap.
Forget what Capello wants David will play, the FA will make sure of that.
They have a huge debt to pay off that stadium and the only way to do that is to ensure the stadium is full for every game.
David will play and you can quote me on that.

Thanks Franco and Dina for the post. I am anxious to wait to see the offical announcement wether Becks will be included. I will not watch the match if David is not in the team. I am not interested in to watch others and Capello will certainly lost my respect if this is the case.

I am dispointed to read all those news of Capello will not include David for the Friendly. I don't like the way of the new manger's mangaement on this issue. It is not transparent on what he want to do and keeping people guessing around based on those so called 'Capello's inner circle'. I think Brit's media has given this new manager too much hype. I will also join the club of not watching the match if David is not in the team.

I know that tickhes were sold, I read this story, but I do not know if it is true.I agree that Capello with his absolute arrogance, wants to make it clear that he is commanding. Even the press has never been corrected to David. Capello wants that day all the attention on himself? The FA has made it clear to fans that Becks would have played the macth. I do not like the behaviour of FA.Capello is not a sentimental, and if you decide not to call Becks will blame to the MLS, we must wait and see . Loredana Samuele ,Gabriel
