Beckham Tears Achilles

So much for that whole "playing in the World Cup" thing for his country...

David Beckham tears his Achilles' tendon in the 88th minute of AC Milan's game against Chievo. It seems somewhat freaky in its origin- almost reminiscent of Dan Marino's injury.

His World Cup career, at the age of 34, is probably over. His international career is in question, and his timetable for returning to either Milan or the LA Galaxy is set for six months or so ((if you believe AC's Vice President Adriano Galliani)).

What do you wanna bet both MLS Commisioner Don Garber and Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena are really pissed right now- considering Beckham is in the middle of a five-year, $32.5-million deal...???

Here's the injury...

Beckham Has Another Run-In With Fan

And this time the fan was running smack about Beck's wife, Posh...

Sorry, we mean "Victoria..."

This time in Kansas City as the Wizards hosted the LA Galaxy over the weekend...

Beckham ((pictured with Landon Donovan, thanks Allison Long/Kansas City Star)) confronted a fan wearing an England shirt during Galaxy's 1-1 draw away to Kansas City Wizards on Saturday.

Beckham shook hands with the fan after speaking to him, but later called him a "disgrace" for comments he made about his wife Victoria.

"He shouldn't actually be wearing that shirt because what he was saying about my wife was a disgrace," Beckham told reporters.

Last week, the "Riot Squad" section at the Galaxy's home stadium went after the MLS part-timer last week. Beckham was fined a whole $1,000 for his charging the crowd.

Beckham and Landon Donovan's appearance in KC was to a standing-room only crowd, but much like every other game in the MLS, it ended in a 1-1 sister-kisser...

Becks Fined Pocket Change For Outburst In LA

((HT: ESPN))

David Beckham was fined $1,000 by Major League Soccer, which said his gestures toward taunting fans suggested that they leave their seats and come on the field.

The fine by MLS commissioner Don Garber on Friday came five days after the English star confronted Los Angeles Galaxy fans in a group called the L.A. Riot Squad. The Galaxy and AC Milan played to a 2-2 tie in an exhibition game. Beckham played with AC Milan this year and was booed through much of the game.

"We support our players interacting with fans, whether it is at clinics, charity events or by high-fiving their supporters in the stands while celebrating a goal," Garber said. "However, our players should never engage in conduct that can be interpreted as encouraging fans to come out of the stands and onto the field, regardless of the reason."

At halftime, Beckham walked toward the group while shouting and pointing. He challenged fans to meet him on the field and tried to lift himself over advertising boards before security intervened. Police arrested a fan who left the stands.

Then after a second-half corner kick in front of the Riot Squad's section, Beckham immediately turned to those fans, put his index finger to his lips, shrugged his shoulders and blew them a kiss. The kick resulted in a goal.

Beckham has been unapologetic about his actions.

"At the end of the day, I play my game," Beckham said Thursday. "If it's not good enough for some people, as long as it's good enough for myself and the team, nothing else matters."

The Riot Squad blamed Beckham for agitating the situation in a statement on the group's Web site Thursday.

"Had David responded differently on Sunday, the booing and the chanting probably would have ended at halftime," the statement said. "We don't believe questioning Beckham's commitment to our team is over the line, but it's clear that David feels otherwise."

So, as a public service, we show you the story again from our friends at ITN News that is proof that the part-timer did, indeed, piss some folks off...

Becks Gets Booed, Part Deux...

Okay, a lot of you know it happened over in the "Riot Squad" Section in the LA Galaxy's friendly against AC Milan...

Here's your proof...Carole Erskine reports...

((Insert divine being here)) forbid, you should anger a part-timer who paid to extend his own loan to a squad overseas...

The LA Times Helene Elliott has a great piece on it here...

And, by far, the picture, of the day comes from Kevork Djansezian of the Times...


By the way... note to Becks... Carson is a bad part of town to pick a fight, esse...

Becks is Booed

It seems as though Major League Soccer's savior might need to be saved...from the league's fans. David Beckham's return to the MLS playing field in a friendly game against the team he's been playing for AC Milan was not quite received the way that most would have expected

The story from the Daily News here .

Beckham was recently called out by teammate Landon Donovan in a book recently released about the Britsh Soccer legend's first season in the "States" for being a poor captain and generally not much of a teammate. The two have supposedly "kissed and made up", however it does not appear that the L.A. Galaxy fans are being quite so forgiving.
