Capello: Beckham too old for England

Soccer Betting Lines

08/12/2010 - London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - England coach Fabio Capello has signaled an end to former captain David Beckham's international career.

The 35-year-old midfielder, who currently plays for the Los Angeles Galaxy in Major League Soccer, missed the World Cup finals due to injury and Capello believes that now is the right time to move on and look at younger players.

Beckham, who has won 115 caps to date, is expected to feature in one more friendly game to say his goodbyes at Wembley.

"I say thank you very much for helping me at the World Cup, but probably he is a little bit old," Capello told ITV ahead of the 2-1 win over Hungary. "I need to change it. David is a fantastic player, but I think we need new players for the future.

"If he is fit, I hope we will play one more game here at Wembley so the fans can say goodbye."

A later statement from Beckham's agent added: "For your information, there has been no discussion of retirement.

"He will always be available for his country, when fit and if needed he will be there."

March Madness odds and printable March Madness brackets

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship.  Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92.  After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points.  Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1.  Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years.  With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed.  UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern.  Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier.  OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak.  Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four.  It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta.  But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
