LA Galaxy chief Alexi Lalas believes Fabio Capello has messed around David Beckham over his England selection.

The former England captain spent time training with Arsenal ahead of the match as he sought to win his 100th cap but Capello decided not to pick him because it is Major League Soccer's off-season.

Lalas said: "Probably the decision he wasn't game-fit could have been delivered earlier so he didn't bust his gut over at Arsenal."
