David Beckham ‘Ties’ One On
David Beckham and the LA Galaxy battled the NY Red Bulls at Giants Stadium this past Saturday and altho the match ended in a 2-2 draw, Becks did everything humanly possible to make sure that a great and entertaining time was had by all. Here are a few pics of Becks warming up and in action on Saturday afternoon:
Los Angeles Galaxy captain David Beckham was pleased with the resolve his Major League Soccer side showed in battling back to a 2-2 draw against the New York Red Bulls Saturday. Landon Donovan salvaged a point for the Galaxy at Giants Stadium, his cross in injury time floating over the heads of numerous players, including Galaxy teammate Edson Buddle’s, and into the far corner of the goal … Until then the Red Bulls appeared poised to steal the show from superstar Beckham and the Galaxy. The hosts had taken a 2-1 lead on a superb second-half goal from captain Juan Pablo Angel gave the home side a 2-1 lead. Beckham was pleased his team fought until the end, and were rewarded with the draw. “There were chances for both teams but we showed a lot of character,” Beckham said. “We were disappointed to go in 1-1 at halftime because they scored through our sloppy play. Then we came out second half, they got a goal but we kept on battling and we didn’t look as if we were going to get a goal but we did in the end. It showed the character in the team, especially when we’re not playing as well as we can, to come back. So overall, maybe a draw was fair tonight.” The match drew a MLS season-high 46,754 fans.
I love how soccer is one of the only major league sports where a tie is not only possible but can also be celebrated. It’s a nice thing when everyone is a winner! But, you know what else can be celebrated? The after-game entertainment. After the jump, check out a few fun pics of a shirtless David Beckham as he walked off the field at the game’s completion …
See win, lose or draw there is always something to look forward to when David Beckham is on the field … especially when it’s time for him to walk off the field when playtime is over. Woot!

I was at the game, in the top section of Giants stadium, and you could still see Beckham’s back and ab definition from that far away. He’s so hot. And on top of that, an excellent soccer player!
