After 94 appearances with England's national team, Coach McClaren has left David Beckham off of the team's roster and it looks as if his days representing England are coming to a close. I'm a bit surprised as he can still single-handedly win a game if the opposing team is foolish enough to give up a free kick close to the goal, but the fact that Beckham would be 35 by the next World Cup means that the team is probably making the right decision to part ways sooner rather than later.[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] "I have great respect for him, fantastic captain for England, a great player and still is a great player and he took the news very well," McClaren said. "Although he was disappointed. I got the reaction I wanted and the reaction was that he would continue to fight for his place and I will never close to the door."[/FONT]
I'm betting that he's playing in the MLS in three years.
