I say give him the first half, let him lead them out with the skipper's armband on. Then sub him at half time, and get looking at the future of England's right flank, whoever that may be.

He has earned the right to at least that. Of all the things you can say about Beckham, he has always wanted to play for his country, and always tried his best, even if it wasn't enough on the day.

So now jet-lag to and from LA is not an issue he's off to Sierre Leone and Brazil. Presumably Arsene Wenger and other authoritive voices will turn the sport science manual on it's head and insist that there is no difference between training and match fitness. I haven't turned out for DS Westminster for 32 seasons but I've kept myself fit, can I expect a call from Fabio?

Is the game of of football at international level meant to represent the people of England at there best or is it is cosy club for the clique who's faces fit? If the former then Beckham who has not played competitive footbal for months and even then played below par should not be selected. If it is the latter, then OK, he ought to play along with anyone else who has been involved with England. The ex-FA secretary is a good candidate a she seemed to be a close terms with many people in the football world.
But seriously Beckham lost England two crucial matches in two crucial competitions though his petulant 'I am A Prima Donna' attititude. We owe him nothing. He should not play.

swp runs past one runs past two then either trips or play a shoddy ridiculous ball into the box ,
Beckham gets the ball looks up great pass goal. simple.
if Beckham isnt fit and lennon or phillips or bentley take his place thats fair enough but as a manger surely u would pick Becks , if ur losing with 30 minutes to go you know u can bring him on and he will run his heart out for those minutes, u cant say hes not fit for half an hours play and tell him to put balls in the box , with his delivery ur gonna get a goal easily, it happened against coratia, y dont we do it more often, bring him on late and he will get the job done.

I would bring on Mr Beckham for the last 5 minutes, and then say - thank you and goodbye.

He has been a great servant for England but passed his sell-by date a few years ago.

Who cares?

Play Beckham until half time and then bring on SWP upfront alongside one of the forawards, then take off Beckham and play Bentley, keep Beckham in the squad until the others learn off him.

beckhams time passed a long time ago let hin slip into the football mire that is america never to be mentioned again

Beckham has been a good servant to his country but how can we take football and the FA seriously if he is selected against Switzerland, he is not playing competetive football at any level. Please Capello do not pick him and show us that the England team have been picked on merit, anything else is
embarrasing to the English game.

Money must not interfere with team selection. Capello must show he is boss or it will end for him as it did for Mclaren.

Anthony, b,

I hope DB is given the chance to complete "his ton" for our beloved game of football.

And yet without question Becks is still the best right sided midfielder on which England have to call. Even half fit players like Lennon, SWP and Bents are not really fit to clean GB's boots. So stick with what we know will work until the rest are good enough or Beck's is too old to continue. form is temporary, class is permanent and whatever you have to say about Beckham - it cannot be disputed he is class!!!!

Peter Adams, Haarlem, Netherlands

I think Capello should wait until Kazakhstan away before recalling Beckham, then we will see how committed he is to getting 100 caps!!

It does seem ridiculous that we are even having a debate about recalling someone who has not played any football in months, especially when we have Lennon, Wright-Phillips and Bentley all in the form of their lives!!
