Aside from the main issue of whether he's good enough/fit to play:
What's the point in him playing, he's not going to make a material difference
in a maybe crucial/maybe not crucial Croatia game?
Even if we do qualify, would he be any use at the finals?
What can/will he do towards world cup qualification?
I always thought the point of friendlies was to try out players who haven't
played before - that way you avoid the stupid arguments about them not beign
ready becasue they haven't played 'enough games'
For me, it's vanity to get to 100 caps (for whatever reason)
The longer he's playing fro England the higher his profile and advertising
Kudos/earning power - that to me seems the only reason why. Brand Beckham.
We've all seen players play well past their best - just witness Seaman &
Shilton to name but two.
Sometimes they need to retire or be retired.
Unless he's turning it on week in week out, how is he suppsoed to turn it on
against International competetion??
What would it matter if he scored against a truly dismal Austrian team?
