Fabio Capello made the announcement that David Beckham's international career has come to an end, but he wants David to get one last run in before it's over. David Beckham has been playing for the England National Soccer Team for more than 10 years. He's not only been a great player on the pitch, but he's been an icon for the team.

Beckham recently became the leader for the most international soccer games played by any player in England's history. He's represented the soccer team in 115 games. This number would have been higher if he wasn't hurt before the 2010 World Cup, which was upsetting for all supporters.

England is now working towards qualifications into the 2012 European Championship. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like they'll need Beckham to qualify. Instead it seems as if they're trying to find the up and coming players to get them in the door.

Capello told the public that he would be bringing Beckham to play, so he can say goodbye. He's hoping that Beckham can do this at Wembley as it's the perfect place to say goodbye. Capello also made it very clear that he won't be using Beckham in any competitive games.

As Beckham ages, he's become a better leader on the pitch. He's learned how to play his role exactly as it should be. But Capello doesn't think this is good enough anymore. England can't be satisfied with decent results anymore. Capello's on a mission to get the up and coming players going as soon as possible. Out with the old, in with the new!

Many England supporters were surprised to see Capello coming out with this news before speaking to Beckham regarding his future. Capello said he had not talked to David yet.

The first one to react to Capello's statements was Beckham's agent. He basically confirmed that David Beckham has no plans to retire at the moment.

Beckham's agent said that when David is fit, he's ready and available to play for England. He also confirmed they haven't even discussed retirement, so he's probably hoping to make the 2012 squad. As a fan, I'd love to see him out there but I don't think he's their answer at this point in his career.
