David Beckham has no intention of waving farewell to England after reaching 100 appearances. The Los Angeles Galaxy star, who reached the milestone Wednesday night, maintains the wave he gave when he walked off during England8217;s loss was just an acknowledgment of the standing ovation that even the French fans gave him.
8220;I don8217;t know where the rumours came from,8221; Beckham said. 8220;It is 100 not out as far as I am concerned. The wave at the end was not a goodbye. It was a thank you.8221;
Although Beckham didn8217;t even have a shot on goal and collected a yellow card for a foul on French goalscorer Franck Ribery, he was satisfied with his performance. 8220;The most important thing for me was to prove my fitness and I felt that I did that,8221; he said.
