I think it's better becks was out now that I think of it more. It was Capello's first game, so the attention should be on him. If becks were to play, everyone would be talking about that, concentrating on him and Capello probably wants it to be his show (understandably). Beckham will have another chance to get his 100th cap, but Capello's first game had to be then.
