The world's most famous footballer, David Beckham, finally won his much prized 100th cap for England in their 1-0 loss against France at the Stade de France in Paris on Wednesday.
It was England manager Fabio Capello's second game in charge and Beckham's first under his former mentor at Real Madrid but a disjointed performance from the English meant that Beckham's special night was soured by a 1-0 defeat courtesy of a Franck Ribery penalty after England goalkeeper David James had upended France striker Nicolas Anelka just before half-time.

Although Beckham was able to prove his fitness to the new manager he was unable to inspire his teammates with a display that was described by the BBC as "clear his most athletic days are now gone" despite Fabio Capello's positive reaction by his performance.
The Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder insisted that he will not retire from international football having won his 100th cap - the fifth English player to do so - and he now joins an elite band of England players who have earned 100 caps: Bobby Moore, Peter Shilton, Billy Wright and Sir Bobby Charlton.
