David Beckham only wants to win his 100th England cap if he is in the side "on his merits", according to the Los Angeles Galaxy general manager and president Alexi Lalas.

The midfielder was left out of Fabio Capello's first England squad against Switzerland last month but has been tipped to be included in the party chosen by the Italian tomorrow lunchtime for next week's friendly against France.
