I Can Continue After 100 Caps - Beckham

     England ace David Beckham appears to be nowhere near international retirement. The LA Galaxy midfielder looks set to win his 100th England cap against France on Wednesday, but insists that he wants the appearance to be more than a token gesture.
     "It is not about 'have your 100th game and then retire'," Becks insisted. "It is about carrying on trying to play well for my country.
     "I never thought a year ago or two years ago that I would make 95 caps, never mind 100.
     "I'm honoured that I'm making, hopefully, my 100th appearance in an England shirt. I'm also honoured to be doing it against one of the best teams in the world.
     "But as much as I'm honoured to be here I want it to carry on."

2010

     Indeed, Beckham hasn’t ruled himself out of still being involved come the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Blackburn’s David Bentley is one emerging talent challenging for the right-sided berth, but the former Manchester United ace isn’t ruling out long-term involvement under Fabio Capello.
     "It is something I want to reach. I would love to play and be part of the squad in 2010. But I'm taking it as it comes - who knows what is round the corner?
     "The combination of the players and the combination of manager and staff is setting us up right for the qualification games for the World Cup."
     However, the 32-year-old was quick to push aside the idea that he could be handed the captain’s armband for his landmark appearance.
     "I don't know (about being given the armband)," said Beckham. "John Terry is the captain and he deserves to be.
     "He's a great captain and he will carry on being a great captain for Chelsea and England."
