Beckham Benched Again

Beckham Benched Again

L.A. Galaxy midfielder David Beckham officially announced at a press conference on Saturday that he will not be playing in the soccer match against Toronto FC on Sunday.

Beckshas been out of commission with an ankle injury but was at practice early today, icing his sore spots.

Some 20,500 sports fans with tickets are going to be disappointed!

But there is some hope. Galaxy coach Frank Yallop was a little ambiguous and said will “probably not” play. “We’ll see,” he said. “He’s still pretty sore.”

this is complete and utter bullshit. becks shouldn’t even be here in Toronto. Yes, we want to see him play but this is just ridiculous. The ankle swells up due to all the air travel. he should be in LA resting up. He’s not some friggin show pony that they can just bring out to appease stupid “fans”. i dont know what the hell the Galaxy’s trying to pull.

Its their own bloody fault for playing him against Chelsea when he clearly wasnt fit. Now he’s probably going to miss Englands game against Germany too, which is a hige shame.

I hope his ankle heals up soon.

His hair is going back and back and back…..

Is someone mad he doesnt have tire marks on his forehead? Lol

See…this is why I think Beckham is not going to succeed in the USA.

All of the above posts are about his looks and nada or hardly anything about his skill - soccer.

This dope is never going to do **** for soccer in the U.S. if he doesn’t start playing. He’s a *****. He’s all over LA at parties and getting his coffee but he can’t play 10 mins at any games?? I say the Galaxy should get a refund and send him and robo tits back home. We don’t need these fools in LA.

What a tool.

Love U a lot (L)

Some of you are so stupid, the guy is injured! Its not his fault he cant play, is Galaxys for pressuring him into playing so early against Chelsea. If they would of waited he would of been fit by now.

Good he is clearly not fit and I don’t know why they made him travel all that way. He is not a show pony, he is an athlete and should have been allowed to stay at home and recuperate like any normal athlete.

How many teams - in any sport - take an injured player on tour?

I blame the Galaxy and Fuller.

11 I agree…American’s are only interested in how hot he is. They don’t give a **** about the ‘Beautiful Game’.

The new season starts in the UK next week with the Charity Shield tomorrow. CAN’T WAIT.

Yes TR, I really do think you’re onto something here. If he can buy a morning coffee before he heads into training then surely he can run around for 90 minutes on an ankle thats agony. *rolls eyes* My GOD!

HOTTEST MAN EVER!

I hope his ankle gets better soon, though I iwsh people would stop rushing him, he has a SPRAINED ankle!

oh wow he is getting really old, all wrinkles…how old is he? I thought he was in his early 30’s..he looks more in his mid 40’s..david i think its time for some botox.

Oh Please @ 08/04/2007 at 8:00 pm

He only has a sprained ankle. Those take 6- 8 weeks to heal. Jesus. Go talk to athelets in America who tape their ankles up, put their cups on and get the hell out there and play. GMAFB.

I knew this was going to happen as soon as they said he was injured and iffy to play that he’d milk it for as long as he could. Flying makes it swell. Guess what dude, you came to to country that’s landscape is VAST. You could fit all of the UK in New Jersey.

Oh Please @ 08/04/2007 at 8:02 pm

I don’t know why they made him travel all that way. He is not a show pony, he is an athlete and should have been allowed to stay at home and recuperate like any normal athlete.
===================================================================

What? ALl athelets travel with the TEAM injured or otherwise. He’s no different

He has a 5 year contract.
Let the man heal for a few days in peace.

Jesus.

Oh Please @ 08/04/2007 at 8:04 pm

He won’t be here for 5 years. Guaranteed

He's a wuse @ 08/04/2007 at 8:06 pm

Some of you UK’rs kill me. Boo Hoo.

He only has a sprained ankle. Tell that to the guys who make more millions them him who’ve played with broken fingers, bad backs, sprained and FRACTURED ankles, elbows, concussions you name it.

It’s a sprain, not a break or a stress fracture. He’s a whimp
