Beckham sets England appearance record

Per the Associated Press, David Beckham made history Saturday by competing in his 109th match for England in a 4-0 win over Slovakia. Beckham now holds the English record for appearances by a non-goalkeeper and looks to break the all-time record held by goalkeeper Peter Shilton at 125 appearances.

Twitterers in the United Kingdom quickly reacted to the news.

    AndyTheRoo (Sunderland, U.K.) thinks that it's utter bollocks how David Beckham could pass Peter Shilton's appearance record by only playing injury-time for England.
  2. bobbyc3
    bobbyc3 (London, U.K.) David Beckham wins his 109th cap for England. He is a hard working player, truly deserves it. Hope he scores this half!
