Beckham would refuse England farewell at Wembley

David Beckham has no intention of taking part in an England farewell at Wembley. Having declared that he would no longer select Beckham for any competitive internationals in the future, coach Fabio Capello added that he was "100% sure" if Beckham was fit, the 35-year-old would be selected for a friendly to say goodbye to the fans who have supported him during his 115-cap career.

A November 17 meeting with France would appear to fit the bill perfectly.

However, it seems Beckham has not been consulted over the issue.

And, on the basis that he has no intention of announcing his retirement, Sport understands that he sees no need to take part in a game that would effectively seal his international fate.
