We are all guilty of scanning the horizon and occasionally visually enjoying a passer by or two
that catches our fancy, well Becks is no different! Thanks to World of Isaac for
these images.
He's at it again see below for more images!

SAF got attitude One of the most notable onlookers at the Emirates Stadium last night was David
Beckham. But Sir Alex Ferguson wasn't going to let bygones be bygones. He totally blanked Becks and
cuddled up to Fabio Capello instead as his ex-player stood around looking like a spare part.
Hilarious video footage of this to follow [.
Bruce Arena, coach of LA Angels Galaxy, was shown especially displeased by the events on the case
Beckham. "With that what has happened in the two last months would be able to fill a
psychiatric hospital". Arena already knows that he will not be able to include the
player in the first encounters on the [.
And you thought New York had beef with Beckham last week? Please. Hatred from the opposing fans is
one thing, but hatred from the home supporters who feel a bit like a woman scorned is some whole
other sh*t. After enduring more than a little stick from the Riot Squad during last night's
friendly versus AC Milan, Becks apparently lost the plot for a minute and challenged a fan to take
it outside --or take it to the field as it were since they were already outside.
Despite a composed 1-0 win for the LA Galaxy at home to the New England Revolution this weekend,
soccer fans around the world (or at least in the US) are still in shock over the rift between two
Galaxy stars who missed this weekend's game. While superstar David Beckham is yet to return to the
Galaxy this season, his estranged teammate Landon Donovan was rested following a busy period
representing his country.
This week it was announced that the Mexico-US match at Azteca next month will only be available on
Telemundo and Mun2, with Mun2 carrying the English feed. This means many USMNT fans will have to
watch the Spanish language feed. This would not be so bad if it was on Univision or Telefutura, but
the Telemundo commentators are over the top in their Mexico bias.
The Beauty: I won't lie I didn't find Nuria Bermudez to be a "beauty". At least
not at first. On first glance, she actually appears quite trashy. After all, her bread and butter
is appearing nude in magazines, which is not exactly the favorite hobby of the virtuous.
David Beckham is still the most earning football player of the world, according to a report from
France Football. It is estimated that David Beckham earns around €32 million annualy. Unlike
Lionel Messi. If you add up all commercial earnings from Becks, his paycheck is around €32,4
million per year.

Here are a series of impressions from my experience of the Galaxy - Barcelona match.
*****
Saturday morning at the Farmer's Market I frequent I met fellow futbol blogger Jennifer
Doyle who writes From A Left Wing which explores the "cultural politics of soccer".
David Beckham was out on the beach in Santa Monica to film a tourism campaign for
California.
If they want to increase visitors to Cali, all they have to do is print a map of the common
locations David visits, from Starbucks to nightclubs and organise some sort of Wagabee/hoochie tour
guide with a free mini skirt.
Sporting stars exchange shots and mundance questions Just days after the state of the pitch at
Wembley was a sore point for Messrs Wenger and Ferguson, pesky David Beckham and some miserable
Scottish bloke were indulging in some high jinks on the hallowed turf. Becks and tennis star Andy
Murray did the favoured viral routine of [.
This tough cookie should be part of the deal
It as they say, quite complicated. Adebayor has been talking from both sides of his mouth which
helps him maintain his options. Does he have the gumption to stick it out with his stock hitting
rock bottom or start anew?
Silvio Berlusconi is very keen on landing the Togolese striker but Milan's summer shows a lot of
upheaval.
Americans, listen up! Well, you probably already know this but some of the biggest stars in
world futbol are coming your way. Inter are already in Boston,
Milan are getting there and Chelski and Mexico's club
América are expected to arrive shortly in Baltimore and Atlanta.
Another LA Galaxy match and another David Beckham fan confrontation.
This time poor old Becks was subjected to abuse about Posh, from a guy wearing an England shirt,
during the Galaxy's 1-1 draw with the Kansas City Wizards on Saturday.
Becks took offence at something the man said and later claimed the spectator had insulted his wife,
Victoria.

The above video is from a couple weeks ago, when the LA Galaxy were at DC's RFK Stadium, but I
just came across it. Galaxy forward Alan Gordon bet Davey Becks that he couldn't kick the ball
through the press box window above the "I" in the "TRAFFIC" sign.
Steven Gerrard and David Beckham star in a new Adidas TV advert for the Predator X boot. Both
Stevie G and Becks are on the football pitch and engage in a playful competition between each other
to figure out who has the best accuracy.
Zinedine Zidane also stars in the commercial.
Real Madrid paid off David Beckham's transfer fee in a matter of days through 'Beckham 23′
shirt sales alone.
If they were to purchase Cristiano Ronaldo this summer, it would take them a bit longer to pay
for him, given they would be forced to fork out at least three times what they paid for Becks, but
they would get their soon enough.
Well... we wouldn't have guessed the irony of this photo after Milan's 2-0 victory over
Fiorentina last night. It wasn't just Paolo Maldini's last official game for the Rossoneri - but
also Ancelotti's. After eight memorable years, we bid goodbye to Carlo. But if he
goes to Chelski (notice the second irony : Adrian Mutu's name in the backdrop), he should expect a
drastic change in his managerial duties.

Victor Valdes is going to become a dad this summer. No one knows exactly who the mother of the
baby is, but at least we know the estimated due date: August 20th. Victor says the baby will be
named Dylan and that he is seriously pumped about fatherhood.
David Seaman's wife Debbie is devastated that he left her for another woman.
David Beckham is back in LA and attending Galaxy games, so that means that the high-noon
showdown between Landon Donovan and David Beckham is nearing.
For those of you who missed the first barb in this exchange, Donovan questioned Beckham's
commitment to the club and also the Major Soccer League in a book coming out Tuesday.
Just a week from his return to the Galaxy and a hair's breadth from a fan's assault, Becks is
again pushing his luck. This time he wants to play Holland in a friendly. The match is awkwardly
placed between important MLS encounters with New England and Seattle.
More power to him if he can pull this off and commit himself to the Galaxy but Bruce Arena is
going to request him not to return for the friendly to be played in Amsterdam.
This right here? This the shirt of the Most Fashionable Footballer 2009, Kickettes. The ruffles,
give it away really. They scream "I'm a winner" even more than the humongous trophy does.
Who is the man receiving this prestigious accolade? Evgeniy Levchenko, from FC Groningen. Last
month, he was deemed the most stylish by the Dutch version of Esquire magazine.
David Beckham was tempted to execute a 'neck breaker' move but held back at the last minute.Becks
grabbed Daniel Hernandez around the throat and pulled him away..
While David Beckham is a forgotten man in the English Premier League, the world's most popular man
is still causing controversy around Europe. When he signed for the Los Angeles Galaxy, he promised
to make a splash into the American sports market. Being here in America, I witnessed the entire
episode first hand, including seeing the reception he received in person at Gillette Stadium just
outside Boston, Massachusetts.
On-loan Los Angeles Galaxy star David Beckham could stay on at AC Milan until the end of the season
on a 'timeshare' agreement, although the Italian club have said no deal has been struck yet. The
future of the England international is reportedly close to being concluded, but AC Milan chief
Adriani Galliani told the club's [.
Briefly:
* The San Fernando Valley Quakes of the Premier Development League announced today that they are
the latest casualty of the economy. The team lasted three years. The 2009 season was scheduled to
begin May 1.
* MLS gets its Becks bucks.
* Manhattan Beach resident Amy Massey, a defender with the USC soccer team, will attend Oxford
on a NCAA scholarship.
And so the Beckham circus continues and July is still a little over a month away...
As Ricky Brooks at Goal.com (click here for Ricky Brooks citation) cites the Daily Mirror (click
here for the original with all the details and audacious quotes), if Carlos Ancellotti is made
manager of Chelsea, he is interested in taking Beckham to Chelsea in the January transfer window.
Kaka only joined Madrid because Becks told him how nice it was in Spain. Lovely tapas, pretty
ladies etc. Or, Kaka only joined Madrid to help fund Silvio Berlusconi's dubious lavish lifestyle.
That's big of him....
And that word is: Punchless.
One shot on goal, seven shots overall, despite controlling the game for decent stretches over
the course of the afternoon. Punchless. One shot on goal despite fielding an "offensive-minded"
lineup designed to counter the improved San Jose Earthquake defense and attempt to
victimize the leakiest defense in the league.
With David Beckham due to return to LA from his loan spell at AC Milan, there might be a bit of
tension in the air, after LA Galaxy captain Landon Donovan and defender Chris Klein made made their
views known about Becks in a pretty candid interview for a new book.
Apparently, Donovan is not a fan of Beckham and has some seething comments about the midfield
maestro in 'The Beckham Experiment', a book compiled by author Grant Wahl, excerpts of which are
revealed in the latest issue of Sports Illustrated magazine.
There have been warmer welcomes back for star players before, but when David Beckham gets set
to make his mid-season debut for the Los Angeles Galaxy on July 16th against the New York Red
Bulls, he may have to patch up some things with some opponents in his own locker room first.

Liga, and Serie A next season. [ChannelBee]
Spurs are about to sign a former Arsenal captain.
It's true - Becks is back, and he's back in world of controversy (MLS style controversy,
anyways...) as Grant Wahl's book, "The Beckham Experiment", is set to hit shelves this week after
excerpts from it on SI.com turned heads all around the league.
According to Nick Green's soccer blog in LA, Goldenballs and Landycakes have kissed and made up,
after Donovan questioned the England midfielder's committment to the Galaxy.
Time for another look at the rapidly (oops, MLS pun alert!) approaching week in MLS fantasy. The
game week begins tonight at the Galaxy travel to NY to take on the Red Bulls. Of course this game
is David Beckham's return to MLS after his very successful stint with AC Milan and the recent
contrversy around Grant Wahl's Beckham book and Landon Donovan's statements therein.
Whilst Becks was busy confronting another fan and dealing with the incessant boos, Claudio
Lopez, the former Lazio and Valencia man, produced the type of finish that David has long since
forgotten how to pull off!

Everyone please take their seat. No talking! Please take out your scantron sheets and your #2

Our Galaxy (9-4-11) host FC Dallas (6-11-6) tonight at the Home Depot Center at 7:30 Pacific
(FSN-PT and Direct Kick). The Galaxy is only 2 points out of first place in the Western Conference,
while FC Dallas is in second to last place in the West. FC Dallas is all but certain to miss the
playoffs with a minimum 10 point deficit to overcome for a wild card spot.
We all know about 34 year old David Beckham, a cracking set piece taker and he has a
phenomenal range of passing but he was never the quickest or the most skilful of players. Due to
his ability to whip in a dangerous ball from anywhere on the pitch he has never had to change his
game, but during the first leg of LA Galaxy's play off against Chivas, Becks showed us a few new
tricks.
After that cesspool of a result in Paris on Wednesday, it is nice to turn our attention to a
league where the sportsmen are pure, the referees are beyond reproach and the game is always played
with a spirit of manly honor – the MLS. Or something like that.
Sunday's game will feature the best team in the west this season against the best team in the
west right now.
