SAINT-DENIS, France (AP) - David Beckham made his 100th appearance for England on Wednesday, starting an exhibition match against France and becoming one of five English players to reach the century mark.
England coach Fabio Capello started Beckham despite speculation the Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder would be on the bench. Beckham was replaced in the 63rd minute by midfielder David Bentley.
Beckham was overlooked for Capello's first game in charge, a 2-1 victory over Switzerland at Wembley last month, because the Major League Soccer season had finished and the former England captain was not playing any matches.
