David Beckham Gets Dropped From Team?
Today we have some disapointing news about our number one hubby David Beckham. David has been dropped from his Team England and will not take part in next Wednesday's friendly game against Greece. Despite stepping down as captain last month following England's World Cup quarter final defeat to Portugal, Beckham had insisted he still wanted to play for the national team. However, today's snub would appear to have brought to an end the 31-year-old's England career.
Speaking at a press conference this afternoon, Steve McClaren revealed: "I told David I was looking to change things, looking to go in a different direction, and he wasn't included within that, I have great respect for David," he added. "He was a fantastic captain for England, a great player, and still is a great player. He took the news very well, although he was disappointed. I got the reaction I wanted, and the reaction was he would continue to fight for his place, and I will never close the door on that."
We are really upset to hear this and sources say David is “extremely disapointed as well. In a statement David said:“Having spoken to Steve McClaren this week I can fully understand that a new manager should want to make his mark on the team and build towards the next World Cup. I’m proud to have played for England for 10 years and my passion for representing my country remains as strong as ever. I’d like to wish the best of luck to John Terry and will offer him my complete support in the future.” Aww we feel so bad, well on the bright side, we hope he takes the offer here in the U.S. and moves to L.A.
The New York Post is reporting that "McClaren wants to de-celebritize the England team,. "He wants to get back to basics - the game of football without all the distractions. He's also making a new rule: no more wives or girlfriends traveling with the team. That's out." Ouch! Now that’s a reality check!
