Most Brits will now know that Capello has 'ended' Beck's career as and England player..and it was a good career too. I wiln never forget 'that goal' against Greece in 2002.

However, the way Capello ended it, on TV without telling Beck's is, in my mind, a showing of disrespect to an England great (I know some will counter this with saying he wasn't that good).

Is this Capello's way? Is it another total showing of lack of respect and emotion...very much like the zero emotions when we scored two goals last night?

I can't think of any other English manager that just sat there when we scored.

Not knocking the man..just his lack of commonsense and lack of emotions.

Regardless of whether a player is good or bad, before making a public announcement, one would think that the information would be conveyed to that person in a private conversation.

Yes, that is what any normal manager would have done, but he has admitted that he hasn't phoned David about it. 117 caps for his country, second highest behind Peter Shilton with 125 and he finds out from the TV (although he wouldn't have seen it as he was training with the LA Galaxy)...not good man management.

He may have discarded Beckham, but with a bit of luck it will be Capello's England career that will end soon.
I wouldn't be surprised if we haven't seen the last of Beckham in an England shirt.

Martin O'Neill is out of a job....I'd LOVE to see him in charge, there is a man with PASSION.

They are saying Beck's will be offered a final swan song game..Testimonial sort of game to say farewell and thanks Becks.

Becks said yesterday he hasn't been spoken too....but they say his advisors were told Monday. Capello admitted last night after the game that he hasn't spoken or phoned Beckham.

I hate when greats are disrespected like that. Beckham did not deserve that, and I am sure he was blindsided when he heard the news through TV. Unfortunately, that is the business and nature of the sports world, but greats usually at least get that kind of news over a phone call or face-to-face. Hopefully, Beckham will be shrined in some manner.

Also, Capello should have been fired after the embarrassing loss to Germany. He was severely out-coached.

They are now trying to turn the game against France as his swan song. Should be interesting seeing England and France..well, shall we say...don't get along that well together!

He surely has to be the man for the England job, but can you see the FA biting the bullet and paying Capello off?

thumbs up
