Odds on Becks staying on to skipper next England Match

Despite criticism of his on and off pitch performances in the friendly against Spain, William Hill are making David Beckham a 1/5 chance to start as England skipper in their next game against Holland in February 2005 - but offer 100/30 that he will not do so.And Hills have also lengthened the odds about Beckham reaching 100 caps during his career, from 4/7 to 4/6. They now offer him at 5/4 (out from Even money) to reach 106 caps to overhaul Billy Wright; 11/8 (from 11/10) to make 107 and go past Bobby Charlton; 13/8 (from 5/4) to exceed Bobby Moore's total and 33/1 (out from 20/1) to beat Peter Shilton's current record total of 125 caps.'David Beckham certainly did not enhance his position as either captain or a player during the match against Spain' said Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe, 'And he has come in for criticism for not condemning his home crowd strongly enough for their racist chanting against certain England players during the game.So, all things considered we don't think he improved his chances of clocking up a century of appearances'
