Capello: Beckham too old for England

Soccer Betting Lines

08/12/2010 - London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - England coach Fabio Capello has signaled an end to former captain David Beckham's international career.

The 35-year-old midfielder, who currently plays for the Los Angeles Galaxy in Major League Soccer, missed the World Cup finals due to injury and Capello believes that now is the right time to move on and look at younger players.

Beckham, who has won 115 caps to date, is expected to feature in one more friendly game to say his goodbyes at Wembley.

"I say thank you very much for helping me at the World Cup, but probably he is a little bit old," Capello told ITV ahead of the 2-1 win over Hungary. "I need to change it. David is a fantastic player, but I think we need new players for the future.

"If he is fit, I hope we will play one more game here at Wembley so the fans can say goodbye."

A later statement from Beckham's agent added: "For your information, there has been no discussion of retirement.

"He will always be available for his country, when fit and if needed he will be there."

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.

(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977.  Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.

Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer.  In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season. 

MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season.  Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite.  After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.

Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions.  They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals.  The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
