So the soon-to-be MLS season is, believe it or not, fast approaching. Seems like just yesterday we
were watching Landon and Becks engage in an epic bro-embrace. Wistful days, those. But upon is the
longest MLS season ever undertaken, a startling five weeks hence. As somebody who still considers
soccer a cold-weather sport, there's not a lot about 100+ degree mid-July games that entices me,
but
Launching his new underwear range for H&M,
David Beckham said that his sons' reaction on
glimpsing their dad in his latest unclad ad campaign was: "'Oh my GOD Daddy - not again. They were
like: 'that's really good, but everyone's gonna see you in your pants." The underwear line goes on
sale in 1800 H&M stores around the world on February 2.

"Carling or Becks? Carling...or Becks? Budweiser!"
FIFA, eh? Watching over us all with ever-loving grace. Fighting the good fight. Tackling the
real issues that threaten to undermine our beloved game with feverish haste and ruthless
efficiency.
You know what time it is. Cheekiest goal of the week goes to Super Mario. He's a horses backside,
but sometimes he does fun things. Like this. Remember Carlos Vela? Chicharito Lite? He's still
playing, if you were curious. Becks may or may not be done in LA.

Becks and his Los Angeles-based galaxy of lesser stars are in Indonesia at the moment on an
off-season trolley dash around the Pacific Rim, though the whole damn lot of 'em were shown up on
arrival by this Indonesian fan who donned his hand-made and ridiculously dapper 'football wizard
robe' (complete with 'football wizard staff') specially for the occasion.
According to ESPN, David Beckham has started talks to join Paris St-Germain.
Becks' contract runs out at the end of December and PSG have become one of the favourite teams to
sign him.
Leonardo, who coached Beckham during his loan move at the San Siro last year, confirmed PSG
were one of those clubs:
"Yes, we've spoken.

David Beckham won't rush into any decisions about his professional future.
Becks said he had plenty to occupy his mind in the coming days – starting with a night of
celebration after the Galaxy defeated Houston Dynamo 1-0 to win MSL's title match.
"We'll have a good night tonight for sure," Beckham said.
How Glen and Becks can prove the doubters wrong
Credit to Glen Johnson. A lot of us had begun to write him out of the reckoning for the
increasingly fiercely-contested England right-back slot. Then he produces a fine performance and a
wonderful winner for Liverpool against Chelsea on Sunday.
3PM Extra: Mourinho's piggy-back celebration, Casillas' card trick and Becks wins the
MLS Cup
Presenting quality football videos from the interweb, daily at 3pm. Here's today's collection:
1) In the week when his former assistant and eventual successor as Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas
is looking under pressure at Stamford Bridge, Jose Mourinho proved he is still the master of
celebrations with this piggy-back effort after Real Madrid's win against Valencia on Saturday.

David Beckham, to Robbie Keane, to Landon Donovan. Goal. Trophy. It sounds like something from a
ridiculously tawdry soccer movie, but Donovan's goal was enough to snare the MLS Cup in front of a
record crowd at the Home Depot Centre in Los Angeles landing Becks, who had to overcome injury and
illness to play, with his first Stateside silverware in what is looking increasingly likely to be
his last competitive match for the Galaxy (his contract expires next month, after a tour of
Indonesia and the Philippines).

David Beckham has signed a deal believed to be worth up to
£5million to be the new face of the supermarket chain Sainsbury's.
Becks will be the star of the Active Kids campaign and will promote Sainsbury's sponsorship of the
London 2012 Paralympic Games.
Last night saw the conclusion of the Conference semifinals (or, in reality, the quarterfinals)
with the Los Angeles Galaxy overcoming their East coast rivals the New York Red Bulls 2-1 (3-1 on
aggregate). This means that LA will be taking on Real Salt Lake on Sunday. Looking more to the
midwest, we saw Sporting Kansas City overcome the Colorado Rapids and Houston overcome the
Philadelphia Union to head to the Eastern Conference finals.
David Beckham has admitted he is "amazed" by the number of offers he has had and believes he
can play on until he is 40.Becks is weighing up where to continue his remarkable career when the
MLS season ends on November 20.
In an interview with Telegraph Sport, he said he was seriously considering staying with Los Angeles
Galaxy but that if he did move, he would insist that any club he joins gives him a regular starting
place so he can realize his ambition of leading the British team to gold in next year's Olympics.

Why 'new Becks' Bentley is battling to save his career
I really fear for my mate David Bentley after hearing about the knee surgery which has ruled him
out for another six months. It seems like only yesterday that he was being hailed as the new David
Beckham after scoring a sensational hat-trick for Blackburn as we beat Manchester United 4-3 at
Ewood.

Union
The Union have not released updated injury information on Zac MacMath as of this morning.
Keon Daniel is listed as part of the T&T national team that underwent light training in Bermuda
yesterday.
Local lad and former Union trialist Jeremiah White is working out with the Montreal Impact as
they look to form a roster for their first season in MLS.
- As you know, I'm a huge supporter of MLS fan clubs (with a special affinity for Chicago's
Section 8). Here's a great article from ESPN on the rise of the MLS fan clubs. I've also updated
the fan club links on the main page.
- Tell me if this sounds familiar, MLS based US defensive midfielder loses head, acts out, gets
sent off and puts team in bad position.
I feel ya', Kandji Incredibly, MLS has fallen from an 8-1-1 in the CONCACAF Champions League to
10-8-2 overall in two weeks. We talked last week about the fall back to earth being a little more
of what we expected. This? Not so much. FC Dallas being run out of Pizza Hut Park by Pumas, the
Galaxy failing to muster a goal with Becks in the lineup away at Alajuelense, the Rapids falling
all over
For Becks, that is the question. I've always been a fan of the kid, despite the resounding
criticism among hardcore MLS fans, and I think that anyone who would call his move to MLS a bad
thing is delusional. He's brought us attention, star power, and, yes, talent.
And he may (or may not) be doing it for one more year.
And down the stretch they come! As the playoffs get closer, games matter more. The LA Galaxy,
leaders in the Supporters' Shield race, take on the reigning MLS Cup Champions - the Colorado
Rapids.
1 - Cardozo sizzles a shot wide - opportunistic, but off-target.
3 - Kyle's Keys for the game don't include any inside dirt from his days as a Galaxy player.

The transfer window may well have closed, but nouveau riche Premier League new-boys QPR are
still pondering their next big-money buys. Topping the list is LA Galaxy assist-machine David
"Becks" Beckham, a player who is nearing the end of his three year contract with the Californian
club.
By the time Keane and Arena finished the post-game presser, the visitor's locker room was almost
all devoid of Earthquake players. That wasn't too surprising, because in general, the losing team
clears out quickly.
The lovely Mrs. Keane was in the hallway to have a quick word with her goalscoring hubby.

Seems many think that Becks was juiced by Keane's addition to the squad. Keane has been invited to
the post-game presser. Here he is now with Arena.
"This was a hard game for us tonight. I thought San Jose was dangerous." Arena says. The coach says
he thought the Galaxy looked tired at points, and it was good to get new players like Keane and
Hejduk some work.

Get excited, US-based Kickettes: Robbie Keane is bringing his Irish boners to your neck of the
woods! Yes, the Spurs goal poacher has signed a £3.5 million five year deal with Los Angeles
Galaxy, his ninth club in a pro career spanning fourteen years, and we can look forward to see him
rubbing shoulders with the likes of Landon Donovan and David Beckham shortly.
Fox news is reporting that Robbie Keane is leaving Tottenham to join the LA Galaxy!! The $8M
move will require the Galaxy to transfer one of their 3 current DPs. I have it from a reliable
source that our supposed angel who never fulfilled our wish will be shuffling off the Galaxy coil
for our HDC neighbors.
In last week's Sports Illustrated, Tom Verducci argued that baseball fans need to back off and
give 18-year old phenom Bryce Harper room to make mistakes and grow.
When Freddy Adu was 18, he was already the highest paid player in MLS and agitating for playing
time. His coach, Peter Nowak, famously responded, "nobody is above this team.
I wasn't always anti-All-Star Game.
I remember the first one, and how exciting it was. I seem to remember the first half being much
better than the second half, but it was a large crowd at Giants Stadium and I thought it was
awesome seeing all the league's stars come together for a game. And you had big stars then like
Marco Etcheverry, Carlos Valderrama and Jorge Campos as well as guys like Eddie Pope and seeing all
of them play on a team was cool.
As usual, by Monday mid-day SI.com's teeming soccer site will include my comprehensive MLS
review. There, you'll get the scoop and skinny on Week 19, complete with updated Power
Rankings.
Here's a supplemental attachment, if you will, with a couple of important points you won't find

About time they release a video for this. But then again why make a video when you already have the
song featured in an adidas advert with Becks & Danny Mwanga that's on TV every 60 seconds?
Seriously, why?
