On Wednesday, Beckham equaled Bobby Moore’s total of 108 England caps in a 2-0 loss to Spain in a friendly. However, he downplayed the possibility of beating Peter Shilton’s England record of 125 caps.
“I take it one match at a time, something I do with Milan and the national team,” Beckham said. “Being part of the national team is important. England are developing and if I can be part of the group it will be a great result.”
