David Beckham will be heartbroken...
Gareth Bale is a possible as he's still only 22.

oooh i do love a conspiracy theory might be that Pearce dropped Beckham because Gary Neville took his england job and who is Nevilles best friend beckham

I bet that means no - one will buy the football tickets now!! I guess that probably mwean that next itme we bid for Olympics or World Cup again Beckham will say "no thanks"

Barely any tickets have been sold for the football anyway and I'm inclined to think that the inclusion of Beckham wouldn't have made much difference.

Expect to see empty stadia unless they start giving tix away for free.

Well done to Stuart Pearce for picking the team he wants and not bowing to pressure to include Beckham. Pearce flew to Los Angeles recently to watch Beckham, but clearly wasn't impressed enough to pick him for the squad. Team selection has to be on merit, otherwise there's not much point in entering the competition.

pearce's reason is that he wanted more defensive cover thats he picked richards as his 3rd over 23 player.

With Bale out injured he has to find a replacemernt pretty quickly.

He hasn't even picked the squad in the first place yet. It's due to be announced this afternoon.

beckham cant be picked cos the illuminati dont want him anywhere near this country especially london when the attacks happen, he is too important to them
