Match Recaps and Video — USA @ ENGLAND
David Beckham gets his 100th cap award, an assist, and a win in his 101st match for his native country, playing in front of a home crowd at Wembley. John Terry and Steven Gerrard tallied goals in the 2-0 win…
David Beckham received his 100th cap award tonight, just prior to his 101st appearance for England, a start against the USA in an international friendly held at Wembley. In a special ceremony just before the match and the national anthems, Sir Bobby Charlton presented him with the special golden cap encased as seen here.
