England boss Capello: I was happy with Beckham

England boss Fabio Capello revealed there was no special treatment for LA Galaxy midfielder David Beckham ahead of his 100th international last night.

After the defeat to France, Capello said: "I was very happy with Beckham's game. He played like he always does and like I know how he can play.

"I substituted him because I know how he can play and I know him well, so I could see someone else.

"The landmark of 100 caps was never a problem for me. There was no ceremony in the dressing room."
