England Defeats Belarus 3-1

David Beckham and the England squad defeated Belarus Wednesday night 3-1. The win is largely thanks to Wayne Rooney, who scored twice for England.

David came on the field as a substitute again, giving him his 107th cap and passing Bobby Charlton in the record books.

“Without a doubt it means a lot,” David told reporters after the game. “Sir Bobby Charlton was a hero of my dad and also of mine. I went to his soccer school when I was a boy. With him being a Manchester United legend I’m very honoured to be above him in the list.”

David will now return to the Los Angeles Galaxy as they continue their quest for the play-offs. Since David was suspended for a game, he must sit the next one out.
