How far should Goldenballs’ reputation take him?
Skybet are currently offering 7/2 on David Beckham getting 109 caps or more. Given Fabio’s over-the-top praise of Mr B, and the fact that qualification is a few short months away (it begins on September 6 in Andorra), it seems likely that he will feature in the tournament build up. Assuming he plays against the USA in May and Germany in November, he would need only to play in seven of the ten qualifiers to make the bet good.
But in June 2010, however, Beckham will be 35 and a veteran of a slow-paced, lesser quality league. Meanwhile, spritely players like David Bentley will be champing at the bit to get into the side.
Debate surrounding his role in the side has been heavily publicised, but would you actually like to see Becks in South Africa? Votes, sentimentality and comments below, please folks.

If he is still good enough then why the hell not? He’s worth having just for the respect he commands in opposing sides

That just it though, he’s not good enough.
Send him the glue factory before he makes an even bigger cock of himself playing “Soccer”.
