David Beckham Helps The LA Galaxy Head Into The Play-Offs
David Beckham played one of his last home games with the LA Galaxy at the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA last night. Altho it is being reported that Becks has already signed a new contract with Italian soccer team AC Milan (which is set to begin permanently next January), he played last night with much gusto helping his team beat Toronto FC by a score of 2-0, moving them forward towards the MLS play-offs. Here are a few pics of Becks in action in last night’s game:
David Beckham scored once and assisted on another goal to lead the Los Angeles Galaxy to a 2-0 victory over Toronto FC. The Galaxy remain two points behind Houston for the Western Conference lead and are third in the MLS with 41 points. The top team in each conference and the clubs that have the next six highest point totals qualify for the playoffs. Beckham scored in the ninth minute with a left-foot strike from 17 yards. Edson Buddle clinched the win with seven minutes to play. Former Manchester United star Beckham said: ‘Tonight, I was happy with my goal and I was happy with the assist I gave to Landon and Eddie, but I think it was the overall team performance that was exceptional tonight.’ Galaxy boss Bruce Arena said: ‘David’s a real good player, there’s no question about it. He is a person with a lot of pride, besides that outstanding ability that he has. He did everything he could tonight to lead this team. I thought his performance was outstanding.’
As per usual, Becks had his cheering squad in the hiz last night rooting him and the LA Galaxy to victory:
And by games end, as he is usually wont to do, Becks stripped off his soccer jersey so that he could walk off the field victorious — and shirtless. After the jump, check out the pics of Becks sans kit …
While I’m happy that Becks and the Galaxy were victorious last night, I can’t help but be a bit sad that his time with the team is quickly coming to an end. I suppose I always knew that he wouldn’t be with the Galaxy forever but it just seems that his time in SoCal was just way too short. I suspect the Beckham Bunch will be moving permanently to Italy once Becks starts his new contract with AC Milan … so we should enjoy having them in the States as much as we can, while we still can.

Are you sure it’s not a loan?

Hes only going on loan. He’ll be back in LA after the World cup is finished.

Trent maybe it’s time you stopped writing about soccer and just stick to how cute he is. He’ll be back in L.A. after the World Cup.

Yeah it’s probably only a loan deal like earlier this year so that he can keep playing at a higher level before the World Cup. He’ll definitely be going somewhere after the MLS season has finished otherwise he won’t even be considered for the England squad so hoping he gets a move to somewhere (hoping Milan again!) & he keeps his form & fitness up so he can make the England squad for the World Cup.
Then after that’s done he’ll be back in the US playing there (I hear he’s also looking into owning his own team over there too…or at least having something to do with owning his own team over there anyway)
