BECKHAM CALLED UP

David Beckham was been called up to the England squad for the upcoming friendly with France.

It seems certain that Beckham will earn his 100th internation cap in the game in Paris on the 26th March.

The 32-year old was left out of Fabio Capello's first squad, but has proved his fitness after playing several friendlies for LA Galaxy.

Also included in the provisional 30-man squad are Arsenal teenager Theo Walcott and the uncapped Middlesbrough defender David Wheater.

It's the first time Walcott's been called up since he was selected - but not used - in the 2006 World Cup.

I'm really pleased Beckham is going to get his 100th cap. I'm also really please Capello held out last time. Really pleased to see Walcott recalled too. He needs some really good competition experience to develop to his potential
