What will happen to Becks at AC Milan?
Wednesday, 22 October 08, 11:44 PM
Could anything excite Sky Sports more than a David Beckham fiasco?
Just plant his face square on TV, get 80 million different clips and opinions on his situation….you can tell they’ve run through this routine before. Maybe twice.
And yes, there is good reason for the theatrics today, as Beckham has once again found himself as the top headline with a possible January loan to AC Milan in order to stay fit (please check out that link and Soccernet’s photoshop with Beckham in a Milan uniform. Hysterical.).
The positives: Beckham stays fit now that his MLS season is over, keeps himself in the England mix during the MLS offseason (Fabio Capello has said he needs to do this is he is to be considered for the national squad) and gets some undeniably better competition than in the MLS. And imagine a Kaka, Ronaldinho, Beckham combination in the middle when he plays – pretty entertaining to think about.
Who knows how much he will play at Milan, but there’s no doubt that his right foot still has plenty of juice left in it, and it’s hard to imagine him......read the rest at: http://www.examiner.com/x-642-Soccer-Examiner~y2008m10d22-Beckham-to-AC-MilanLike this blog? Help spread the word: 
Galaxy need a win today
Saturday, 20 September 08, 11:11 AM
The L.A. Galaxy have danced and shimmied their way through almost an entire season without needing a real result. They’ve evaded wins like a bad plague, gone through multiple changes at all levels and still have managed to enter their final six games with a chance.
But the free ride stops right here today, as the time for squandering opportunities has come and gone, and David Beckham’s squad sits in grave danger of missing the playoffs once again.
I’ll just throw it out there (not that it’s going out on a limb) that should L.A. lose tonight at home against D.C. United.....Check out the rest at:

Theo Walcott and David Beckham
Friday, 12 September 08, 01:45 AM
The first mark of Theo Walcott madness today in London? I was wandering down a random street and casually glanced at a souvenir stand that sells those awful knockoff football shirts that look nothing like the real thing and probably come apart the first time through the wash. Someone had obviously gone through the England shirts that morning and ironed on a bunch of “No. 7s” on them all. Get em’ while they’re hot …. literally.
Expanding on Walcott a little more (you’ll have to forgive me, he’s the man of the moment), both Arsene Wenger and Wayne Rooney have made comments to try and keep the hype down. Rooney should know best how an English teenager can get all puffed up and suddenly be expected to carry the island nation. Having personal experience in the area, it’s only natural for the Manchester United forward to try and stop this youngster from going through the same struggles.
But perhaps even a bigger issue at this point is the future of David Beckham, as Golden Balls sat on the bench while Walcott starred last night on the field until replacing him late with the outcome assured. Check out this Soccernet article, in which Beckham is quoted as basically saying he doesn’t expect to play every game and just wants what is best for England.....

Fabio Capello sat on the sidelines, idly watching without any show of expression as the shocker unfolded in front of him. It was like he had England’s 4-1 victory all planned out, and was simply marking off his pregame list.
Be the aggressor at the start? Check.
Score first? Check.
Enter halftime ahead? Check.
Have Theo Walcott score? Check…check….ah hell, give the kid three......
