David Beckham spent some quality time with his sons Brooklyn Joseph, Romeo James and Cruz David here in SoCal this week playing some sports with his boys … but the Beckham men weren’t interested in playing soccer … they were more interested in playing a more traditionally American sport — football:

It seems David Beckham’s sons are well on there way to becoming all-American boys. Cruz, four, and Romeo, seven, and Brooklyn, nine, who now call Los Angeles home, were seen enjoying a game of American football yesterday. The little trio were in good spirits as they wrestled for the ball and at one stage Cruz lead an impromptu game of baseball. David was forced to coach from the sidelines after he twisted his ankle during a LA Galaxy match against Chivas USA last week. But sources say the star is wearing a medical boot as a precaution, and is expected to recover in time for the biggest game of his U.S. football career this weekend. His team is set to face Real Salt Lake in the final of the MLS Cup on Sunday in Seattle. Prior to Beckham’s injury, the team had been favourites to win the championship and it would be their first accolade since he joined the club three seasons ago.

Now, y’all know that I love any pics of Becks (or any dad for that matter) spending quality time with his kids but these photos are just too much. I love that the Beckham boys really do look like all American kids playing with their dad, who just so happens to be an international soccer star. The Beckham boys played more than just football with their dad yesterday — they also engaged a little in America’s favorite past time sport — check out those photos after the jump …

Victoria Beckham and her eldest son Brooklyn Joseph made their way to Clay County in Kentucky for a 2-day visit to spend time with the impoverished children there. Vicki B. and Brooklyn spent much time with the kids in class but they also spent some time playing as well … here are a few photos:

Victoria Beckham spoke out about childhood poverty today after taking her eldest son to visit some of the poorest children in America. The former Spice Girl and 10-year-old Brooklyn engaged in a number of activities run by the Save the Children charity during a two-day trip to Clay County, in the state of Kentucky. Mrs Beckham said the visit had shown her the need for all children to have an equal start in life and helped her son learn about the responsibilities of his generation. The mother-of-three and Brooklyn took part in a number of programmes last week, including teaching football, reading to toddlers and providing literacy and nutrition tools to parents on home visits. At Manchester Elementary School, in Manchester, Kentucky, they participated in an after-school programme involving reading and healthy snacks and handed out Adidas shoes and backpacks. And during a visit to Big Creek Elementary School, in Oneida, the pair took part in a book bag exchange, where toddlers were given bags filled with books, and read one of their favourite stories, Duck In The Truck. Beckham also met school principals and teachers to try to understand the challenges they face and the support provided by Save the Children’s programmes. Clay County, in the south-east of Kentucky, is one of the poorest counties in America, with a childhood poverty rate of 47.8 per cent and an average household income of $19,728 (around £12,000). Beckham said: ‘What I saw in Clay County was the hope and promise inherent in every child. That’s why we have to make sure every single child has a fair and equal start in life. ‘Seeing Save the Children’s innovative programmes in action, I know that we can begin to reverse the childhood poverty crisis. ‘I’m pleased Brooklyn is learning that, by helping and joining other children, he can play a role in making his generation the greatest yet.’ Mark Shriver, managing director of Save the Children’s US programmes, who accompanied Beckham and Brooklyn on the visits, said: ‘By advocating a fair start for all children, Victoria is setting a powerful example for learning about and understanding the challenges confronting too many children in America today. ‘Instilling in Brooklyn the value of generational responsibility, she knows that a better sense of unity among children will make a future America and global community even greater.’ Mr Shriver continued: ‘These trips create invaluable awareness- building and advocacy. We look forward to continuing to work with Victoria to ensure that every child in America gets a fair start in life.’ Save The Children’s US programmes serve 50,000 in nearly 200 of America’s poorest and most remote communities.

I have to say, I am very impressed that Victoria and Brooklyn gave so generously of their time to shed light on the state of poverty in this country. I had no idea that Vicki B. was at all interested in such matters and I can really appreciate that she wanted to bring her son with her to lend a hand.

Back in September we learned that David Beckham reportedly signed a deal with Italian football club AC Milan to return to Europe to play for the team in January after the MLS soccer season here in the US comes to a close. Today, AC Milan has officially announced the deal, confirming that Becks will play for Milan again. Over the weekend, tho, Becks was still in his LA Galaxy uniform playing for his current team … in addition to playing, Becks was also yelling and scratching … behold:

LA Galaxy midfielder David Beckham’s move to AC Milan has been confirmed. Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has revealed LA Galaxy have agreed a January loan deal that will keep Becks’ World Cup hopes alive. England boss Fabio Capello told midfielder Beckham, 34, he would rule him out of the 2010 finals unless he plays in a top European League next year. And Becks has now clinched his first-choice move — a repeat of last season’s Milan spell where he hit two goals in 18 games. Galliani said: “The agreement for David Beckham has been completed. In a few hours we and Galaxy will officially announce this deal. We are just waiting for the very last documents but I confirm that he will return to Milan.” AC Milan coach Leonardo added: “I consider Beckham as if he had always been here because he has only been away for six months. “In any case he will be a player that will contribute a lot, not only on the pitch but also inside the group, as the players like him infinitely.”

And there you have it … it remains to be seen if we’ll get to enjoy Beckham’s talents here with the LA Galaxy in the future but he is deffo heading back to AC Milan to play there again. As much as Becks love his soccer, it’s clear that he also loves his basketball. Becks and his eldest son Brooklyn were spotted courtside at an LA Lakers game this weekend as well. After the jump, check out a few adorable pics of father and son bonding over basketball …

Yesterday we learned that David Beckham and the Los Angeles Galaxy managed to win the MLS Western Conference Championship after they defeated the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday night and it looks like Sunday afternoon was for celebratin’. Here are a couple photos of Becks and his boys — Brooklyn Joseph, Romeo James and Cruz David — as they made their way out of their friendly neighborhood Pinkberry fake yogurt shop with their icy delights yesterday afternoon:

While the Beckham boys were enjoying their Pinkberry treats, mama Victoria Beckham was winging her way back home to SoCal after spending some time in the UK doing whatever it is that she does when she flies there every other week. Here are a couple pics of Vicki B. dressed in a very shiny zippered Glad trash bag as she made her way thru the airport bound for home:

I mean, as far as Glad trash bags go … this looks like a nice one. I’m sure the Beckham Bunch are happily reunited by now … I wonder if the boys saved any Pinkberry for VB.

David Beckham, who looks as if he’s been missing a few shaving sessions, was spotted speeding his way thru Los Angeles in his sports car full of his children — Brooklyn Joseph, Romeo James and Cruz David — as he drove them to school yesterday morning:

I hope his kids enjoyed the alonetime with daddykins yesterday because Becks has already packed his bags and made his way to the UK, presumably for work-related events. After the jump, check out a bearded Becks as he made his latest arrival in London earlier today …

Here are a few pics of David Beckham and his sons Brooklyn Joseph, Romeo James and the always cheeky Cruz David making their exit from Fogo de Chão restaurant last night after sharing a quiet meal together. As you may recall, wife and mother Victoria Beckham is off gallivanting in London, England this week to partake of the London Fashion Week events going on there right now so the Beckham boys are forced to eat out here at home … I’m guessing it was the chef’s night off:

It’s plainly clear that little Cruz is the ham of the family … he seems to really love the attention from the photographers. Brooklyn and Romeo are always the more reserved ones … it’s Cruz who likes to mess with the paps. He’s gonna be a star someday.

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 …
