A well-written article that captures Beckham’s affect on MLS and adjustment to life in the MLS.
And a wonderfully sarcastic take on Becks celebrity status in America from spoof.com.
In an attempt to cash in on this phenomenal popularity LA Galaxy has ordered Beckham to model his briefs during a game.
“Usually 5 minutes into a game, Beckham will go to the touchline and strip off down to his underpants,” explained a sports writer. “He does this every 15 minutes. People come to see this, not the soccer.”
Attendances at Galaxy home games have since trebled. “When the soccer restarts, most people wander off for a hot dog or a coffee – only returning 15 minutes later,” continued the writer.

Your friendly Beckham blogger is back from vacation. Don’t all cheer at once.
So here’s the latest Beckham news to peruse while you watch some guy break a sitting record. (I used to train up and down the Rose Bowl stairs, but this is a new one!)
No surprise here, but Becks has made the starting eleven for the MLS All-Star game. He placed second in voting to my first love, Landon Donovan. The two are magic together — add Cuauhtemac Blanco to the offense and it could be a beautiful game. They will face West Ham United at Toronto’s BMO Field on July 24th.
Paparazzi got a shot of David checking out some gals while driving the other day. The women look about to burst with excitement.
The Galaxy have noticed a 20% jump in attendance at the HDC this year, and attribute it to Beckham. Um, duh!
You apparently can wear Beckham’s tattoos, just like the big guy himself. I guess that would make sense if your children and wife had the same names (you freak!). If that doesn’t work you might try Angelina Jolie’s.
Henry Rollins has given Beckham a big, metrosexual “Welcome!” to Los Angeles. He shares what Americans think of soccer and warns Victoria not to fall into the adult sex industry.
The Galaxy plays Chivas USA tonight (8:00 PST, ESPN2). Landon Donovan should be feeling better from the flu which caused him to miss the first half of last Friday’s loss to New England. It should be a good game with a great crowd — so catch it if you can.

I’m on vacation and will be back with a vengeance in a few weeks. But I just received these new photos and wanted to add them to the list while I was thinking of it.
For the record, I don’t care if the bulge is enhanced or not. I’ve seen photos of him in his uniform shorts where there has been plenty to notice. Speaking as a woman though — with a body and face like that I wouldn’t care much about the package.
I promise some more soccer-related news soon.

And now for your non-footy Beckham news.
Actor Mark Wahlberg is pissed that Becks lives just down the street. Apparently, the paparazzi and fly-overs are interrupting what privacy the actor does have.
Victoria Beckham is planning appear on Oprah in the fall of this year to emphasize her work in fashion.
In basketball news, Beckham got whacked in the nose by Brooklyn’s missed shot. Good thing he doesn’t really need his nose to play. Later the two were seen supporting the Lakers in their bid for the NBA Championship.
Finally, Becks bought Victoria a vineyard, reportedly so she can make her own wine.
And that’s all for your Beckham news off the pitch.

Beckham is out of the running as long term captain for England, according to The Independent. It looks as though Terry and Ferdinand are the finalists for the England armband. It is also reported that, surprisingly, Becks would have been in contention for the job had he been based in England.

Yep, he got it. Likely more a PR move than a long term consideration by Capello. That’s okay. Beckham gets that. Most of us get that. It’s all good. Looking forward to the game tomorrow.
