Becks' 100th cap

DAVID BECKHAM’S family are set to watch him reach 100 caps in Paris.
Wife Victoria, mum, dad, in-laws, cousins and possibly his three kids will be at Wednesday’s friendly with France.
The former England skipper dropped out of a practice session with LA Galaxy on Saturday — but it was merely precautionary.
Becks, who flew in to England yesterday, is confident he will be fit for training with Fabio Capello’s squad today.



Beckham glory bid

And he expects to become his country’s first centurion since Peter Shilton nearly 20 years ago.
The signs are Capello will use him at some point, probably as a second-half sub.
A source close to Beckham said: “He is so excited about being in the squad again.
"David loves playing for his country and it as if he has been called up for the first time.
“He knows he will have to prove himself in training if he is to get that cap.
“But he is ready for the challenge.”
Capello believes Becks, 32, could play an important part in World Cup qualifiers — even if it is as an impact substitute.
An England insider said: “David is still one of the best crossers and dead-ball experts in the world.
“He has not lost that by playing in the States and it can be an important weapon.”
