hank you and goodnight David BeckhamThe Italian revealed in a television interview that Beckham’s international career was over – even though he had yet to inform the midfielder.Capello told ITV before last night’s friendly against Hungary that he considered Beckham too old for competitive duty. By turning his back on Beckham, Capello performed a U-turn after stating in March, shortly after the midfielder ruptured his Achilles when playing for AC Milan which ruled him out of the World Cup: “We hope he will be fit for next year. I hope he will be fit for the Euros, next qualifying. He’s one of the best players in England.”The ‘call me’ gesture to Michael CarrickMichael Carrick’s appearance for Manchester United against Chelsea at the Community Shield was cleary a shock to Capello who omitted the midfielder from his squad for Wednesday’s friendly against Hungary.Capello was under the impression that Carrick was unavailable through injury when he named his squad on Saturday evening but as

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa: Some of the key battles for Sunday’s World Cup final at Soccer City between the Netherlands and Spain.Mark van Bommel vs Xabi Alonso:Bayern Munich’s hardman van Bommel against Real Madrid’s tough guy Alonso will be the key battle in the midfield. The 33-year-old Dutchman has had a new lease of life at this World Cup and his consistent performances have helped put the Dutch in the final.Van Bommel – who returned to the national side once his father-in-law Bert van Marwijk replaced Marco van Basten after Euro 2008 – does the hardwork in midfield to allow Arjen Robben and Wesley Sneijder to test defences up front.Alonso, 28, put in a big defensive performance to snuff out Germany’s fire in the semifinal and the Real midfielder will again be looking to leave Oranje attackers red-faced.Wesley Sneijder and Arjen Robben vs Carles Puyol and Gerard Pique:Between them, the Dutch dynamos have bagged seven goals so far and defenders get nervous whenever either of the pa

South Africa’s Big Five includes the lion, leopard, buffalo, rhinoceros and elephant.South Africa 2010’s Big Five consists of David Villa, Thomas Muller, Miroslav Klose, Wesley Sneijder and Diego Forlan.They all go search of big game over these next six decisive days, trying to bag the Golden Boot Award as the World Cup’s top goal-scorer.Getting the Boot here is an honour.With a maximum two games left to each as the semifinals arrive, the smart money is on Villa, El Guaje (The Kid, in Asturian).As strike partner Fernando Torres continues to flounder here, the diminutive dynamo has been absolutely essential for the reigning Euro champions at this tournament. Without him, they’d be undergoing the same grisly interrogation back home that France, England, Italy, Brazil and now Argentina are undergoing.He has dragged a surprisingly sluggish Spanish side along to the semis on the strength of the his predatory instincts.

The sole benefit of England’s white kit: “A friend of mine has been championing England changing their home kit to red for years, ever since the infamous grey Euro 96 strip, and it doesn’t seem to have become any more likely,” writes Eddie Robson. “I like it how it is, personally: when you see some teams in their away kit you think ‘Who are you?’, especially since lots of teams play in white away. England are recognisable in both kits. Although sometimes they do play as if they’re not recognisable to each other.”Tempting Fate Or An Elaborate Double Bluff To Bodyswerve It? dept. II: “Why is Alan Hansen writing the Germans off so readily?” wonders a surprised Nick Higgins, who has somehow gone through the last decade without once catching the BBC pundit phoning it in. “He’s dismissed them as ‘average’ and ‘nothing to write home about’. Is that Scot trying to test fate in the Germans’ favour?” Meanwhile George Reader was “really impressed” with Germany’s reaction to Klose’s red card again

Jermain Defoe fulfilled a childhood dream by guiding England into the last 16 of soccer’s World Cup.The Tottenham forward’s 23rd-minute volley proved enough to give England a 1-0 victory over Slovenia last night and set up a meeting with Germany on June 27.“I’m at a loss for words, what a moment,†the man of the match said after the game at the Nelson Mandela Bay stadium in Port Elizabeth. “As a lad, it’s something you dream about. We won the game, we’re through and I’m delighted.â€Landon Donovan’s last-minute goal against Algeria relegated England to second place in Group C. After draws against the U.S. and Algeria, a match in which the team was jeered off by its own fans, England’s players were pleased to move on to the next round.“I don’t think it matters whether we came first or second,†midfielder Frank Lampard told reporters. “After playing well today we can worry about ourselves rather than worry about who we are playing.â€U.K. bookmaker William H
