Bring Back Beckham! News

The BBC is reporting that Beckham is to start on the bench against Croatia. This is probably a good move by Maclaren as Beckham is short of match practice and may have more of an impact coming on after 60 minutes.

Becks has only played 60 minutes for England and been involved in two friendly games for L.A Galaxy since returning from injury so it look like Maclaren has taken the sensible option.

Maclaren has also dropped Robinson who has been out of form for months now. It appears that the England coach is making the kind of decisions that he should have been making from the start.

The Bring Back Beckham campaign was started because Beckham was dropped when he did not deserve to be and was not picked when he was in great form for Real Madrid. If Beckham is not playing well and is out of form then we believe that he should not be picked. At the moment he is lacking match practice so the correct decision is to keep his quality on the bench and use him as an impact substitute.

C'mon England!
