David Beckham broke England’s appearance record for a player other than a goalkeeper Saturday and set up a goal with a trademark crossing shot in a 4-0 exhibition victory over Slovakia. Beckham entered his 109th game at the start of the second half at Wembley Stadium, surpassing the mark he shared with former captain Bobby Moore (1962-73). The next target for Beckham will be overtaking goalkeeper Peter Shilton, who made 125 appearances for England from 1970-90. “I’ll keep this cap for myself,” he said. “It will be in my house in London, locked up.” The Associated Press
