Capello: Beckham too old for England

Soccer Betting Lines

08/12/2010 - London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - England coach Fabio Capello has signaled an end to former captain David Beckham's international career.

The 35-year-old midfielder, who currently plays for the Los Angeles Galaxy in Major League Soccer, missed the World Cup finals due to injury and Capello believes that now is the right time to move on and look at younger players.

Beckham, who has won 115 caps to date, is expected to feature in one more friendly game to say his goodbyes at Wembley.

"I say thank you very much for helping me at the World Cup, but probably he is a little bit old," Capello told ITV ahead of the 2-1 win over Hungary. "I need to change it. David is a fantastic player, but I think we need new players for the future.

"If he is fit, I hope we will play one more game here at Wembley so the fans can say goodbye."

A later statement from Beckham's agent added: "For your information, there has been no discussion of retirement.

"He will always be available for his country, when fit and if needed he will be there."

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009

Super Bowl 2009, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.

MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.

Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.

Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.

After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.

Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.

Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.

If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.

Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
