LONDON -- Only in England could David Beckham be not so much in hot water but a bubbling volcano for admitting he deliberately got himself cautioned during England's 2-0 win against Wales last Saturday.
Beckham, who knew he would miss the midweek trip to Azerbaijan because of cracked ribs, decided to "use" a second yellow card of the World Cup qualifying campaign, which meant a suspension, in order to wipe his disciplinary slate clean.
