McClaren decision shocked Beckham

Beckham says McClaren told him over the phone: "In every team there's going to be casualties, and I'm sorry to say you're one of the casualties."
"It felt as if there was no way back," Beckham told ITV show New Beginnings.
McClaren recalled Beckham for the friendly game against Brazil and the Euro 2008 qualifier against Estonia and the former England captain played well in both games.

 
The LA Galaxy midfielder set up John Terry's goal in his comeback match against Brazil, and then set up two more in England's Euro 2008 qualifier in Estonia.
Beckham said he was close to tears after the phone call to McClaren ended.
"At first it wasn't a case of pro-ving him wrong, because I had to come to terms with what had been said and be patient," added Beckham.
