There will be more friendlies, and gimme qualification games. I don't think there's any doubt Becks will play for England again at some point. But Becks is a known quantity, especially to Cappello, whereas he probably doesn't know that much about some other England players. So why not try out some new faces in a mean nothing game and get a feel for them, and then he can always use Becks down the road when he (Capello) has a better idea of what he's working with and what he's trying to build?
