Bench It Like Beckham: Theo Walcott Replacing Becks On The England Team

Another sign that the L.A. Galaxy and MLS were put too much stock in an aging David Beckham has been delivered by England coach Fabio Capello. The new man in charge for England made a Mike McCarthy/Ted Thompson like decision by moving Beckham to the bench in favor of young star on the rise Theo Walcott.

It’s usually hard for a superstar player to admit it’s time to move on. Nobody would be shocked if Beckham was pissed about the decision being made for him, but so far Becks is singing the praises of Walcott.

From The Mirror:

“I’m pleased for Theo and the team and I am happy to be here, but I don’t expect to play in every game. That’s the way it is.

“I was happy to get on in both games and would have liked to play more, but I don’t care whether I play or not. The most important thing is England winning and qualifying for the World Cup.”

Becks sounds good now, but if England’s World Cup chances are hanging in the balance you can believe that David Beckham will want to be on the pitch. Although his game is on the decline Beckham deserves to end his career on the field.
