Beckham recalled to England squad

Former captain David Beckham has been named in the England squad for the first time since the 2006 World Cup. Coach Steve McClaren's U-turn means Beckham, 32, is set to start Friday's friendly against Brazil followed by the Euro 2008 qualifier in Estonia.
Fit-again Newcastle striker Michael Owen returns in place of Wayne Rooney, who is suspended for the Estonia game. Reading's Nicky Shorey, David Bentley of Blackburn and Chelsea's Joe Cole are also included in the 26-man squad.
And Manchester United forward Alan Smith also figures after scoring the opening goal in the England B win over Albania.
Tottenham winger Aaron Lennon is selected despite picking up a knock in that 3-1 victory at Burnley's Turf Moor. But the Spurs midfielder could find his opportunities limited with Beckham back in the fold.
Head coach Steve McClaren told BBC Sport: "Everyone knows David's attributes and he's a big-game player who can help us win in Estonia. "We've a very important game in Estonia, we need to win it and it is a squad that can win it."
Real Madrid midfielder Beckham last played for England in the World Cup quarter-final defeat against Portugal last June, after which he resigned the captaincy, and has not been selected in any of McClaren's nine previous squads.
McClaren also played down reports that senior members of his squad did not want Beckham recalled. But he refused to be drawn on whether the former captain's move to Major League Soccer in the summer would hinder his international prospects in the long term.
"Everybody's professional and we've a squad that will blend together that will get us a result and I'm sure everyone will welcome David back," he added. But all I'm thinking about is the next two games and we're not looking beyond that. The priority is the next 10 days. Obviously his form has been excellent at Real Madrid and he can help us win in Estonia. Beyond that we'll cross that bridge when we come to it."
Beckham is set to move to LA Galaxy at the end of the Spanish season and is confident he can become a fixture in England's plans again.
"I'll be a lot fitter (playing in LA), still as fit as I am now, maybe more fit," the midfielder told BBC Radio Five Live ahead of the squad announcement. The training will be difficult in America with the humidity so I still feel I'd be able to play for England."

I wonder how long they'll survive a bi-continental lifestyle.

bviously we won't know what the content of Victoria's Reality Show will be until it is screened -but to be honest I for one was hoping for something with a bit more substance than Sex shop scenes, being pulled up by the police etc etc!
Surely they could of come up with something different that is edgyier and classier than the usual reality format?!
