When I say "he" you all know WHO i'm talking about, and when I add the words "should" and "play" into that same sentance it all become crystal clear as to what i'm talking about.
Yep, David Beckham.
As you should've heard he's now fit and ready to play after fully recovering from that troublesome foot injury.
And all in maracullous time too!
Everyone is now expecting him to be named as one of the starting XI in the England team when we kick-off our World Cup campaign with the match agaist Eriksson's homeland Sweden.
Just because he's suddenly recovered from his injury 4/5 days before the first match, does this definitley mean he should now be playing in it??
And do we only think so highly of him because he's apparently 'put us there' in the World Cup finals all by himself???
I don't think that every England fan worldwide should be saying he MUST play. Why?? Well, for one thing it could be rushing him a bit.
When you've had a good few weeks down easy street with a nice bit of a rest, the last thing you'll wanna do is be thrown into the pit of a World Cup opener - after not being able to play for the last 6 weeks or so!
He's only started re-training fully this week! How's he mean to learn EXACTLY how Eriksson wants his side to play with such a mixed 'n' matched squad???
I still think he should feature in this game, as he's currently our no.1 captain and midfield influence.
Maybe he should come on in the second half and send a shock to the tiring Swedish side. That's also give someone like Sol Campbell (who's glad to see him back) the chance to prove himself as Vice Captain, or maybe even little Michael Owen!
Like Sol said, Beckham's return has lifted the whole squad!
But has it lifted the fans too high for first match expectations???
Now that Beckham's back, it's like we're suddenly gunna win the match 5-0!!
And all because he scored one free kick in the 93rd minute against Greece - something that had a 50/50 chance of going in.

Should he play? Yes.
Will it make a difference to our chances? I doubt it.
I don't think England are good enough, quite honestly.

Another point to back up what I said originally was to do with saving him for the bigger games against Argentina and possibly the 2nd Round and further.
If he does play and does get more foot problems from the Sweden game then it'll all be too late and he could be out for months this time!
We probably will need him for the first game though, he'll probably be the only recognisable midfielder besides Scholes.
I still think that half a match is more than enough to keep us in the green - prefferably 2nd half.

I've been thinking about this myself.
Given the choice between having him fit for the Sweden match or the match against the Argies I think that we would all take the Argies.
If he gets clattered against Sweden thats it.
Having said that, I am no doctor but I would think that once the broke bone has knitted back together then that is that. Strong as ever. So why not play him. Get some match fitness for the big one.
I would be tempted to rest him. But I wouldn'nt be the one making that decision for all the yen in the world.
