In August last years England’s new manager Steve McClaren Dropped David Beckham from his team. His Justifications were that he was "looking to go in a different direction" with the team, and that Beckham "wasn't included within that". But On 26th of last month David Beckham was recalled to the national team after some excellent performances for Real Madrid and after England's poor form during qualification for Euro 2008.
Since then Beckham has played two matches for England. The first one was England vs Brazil played at Wembley Stadium. Beckham delivered a pinpoint free kick to the far post allowing Terry to score a header in the 68th minute. But a win for England was denied by Diego in injury time, ending the match England 1 – 1 Brazil.
The second match was played last night, England VS Estonia for Euro 2008 qualifiers. England won 3-0. Joe Cole scored the opener in the 37th minute. Two more were scored in the 54th and 62nd minutes by peter crouch and Michael Owen from Beckham’s Crosses.
Beckham has made a total of three assists out of the four goals scored in these two games. Beckham has proven that he is worthy to be in England’s squad and would possibly play a huge role in qualifying England for the Euro 2008. Yep England's best player ever is back on the team for good....

i actually thot Beckham's international career was over last yr after the world cup. but its good to see him playing again. he's playin really well. but i wonder how his playing level will effect once he move to the US league.
ya thats gonna have a really bad effect on his playing... but its ok as long as he gets his 100th cap..
then he can quit... hehe
looks like hes gonna make it to 100.
atleast he is willing to put effort into playing for England.
