Galaxy Coach: Beckham Was a Mistake

Galaxy Coach: Beckham Was a Mistake

Victoria Beckham cheers on hubby David during the soccer face-off between LA Galaxy and Chivas USA match on Thursday at the Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif.

Posh was joined in the stands by Chef Gordon Ramsay and his wife Tana. Chivas USA won 3-0.

Galaxy coach Frank Yallop admitted it was a mistake to leave Beckham in for the entire match.

“Right at the end he looked hobbled,” he said. “I used him tonight and I shouldn’t have done that. I don’t like to put players like David in jeopardy of getting injured, and that wasn’t the intention. We wanted to make sure his ankle was okay and he said he was okay to start. You can still tell now that he is sore, he’s still not 100 percent.”

I don’t know anyone in England that hates him! I could hear chants in the England V Germany game saying ‘There’s Only One David Beckham.’

He’s a national treasure. To most. The ones that aren’t miserable old sods.

The majority of people in the UK are very proud of what David Beckham has done in his career and what he has given the country. The ones who aren’t are Manchester City fans. =P

Becks got class the way he handeled that tackel. On the football field Becks is respeced by everyone. Even by his worse rivals. He has proven himself to many times not to be.

HAHAHHAHAHHAHAA i knew he wouldnt last!! even the coach noes hes bad chivas is number one CHIVAS USA AND CHIVAS GUADALJARA TOO!! galaxy lost against chivas usa many many times!! and lost to chivas guadalajara last month 2-1 [[ latin players are so much better]] DAVID BECKHAM IS ONLY GIVING THE TEAM PUBLICITY srry grls…….ohh and one more thing HES UGLY!!

Beyond fabulous! I absolutely love him. The entire world loves him. He’s an A-class footballer, there’s no arguing that.

It sucks that he’s in America now. Americans don’t understand football and they don’t appreciate it. The average American prefers big goons body-checking one another or hitting each other on the head with sticks (aka American “foot”ball and hockey).

Why does EVERYONE talk about his wife? What does that have to do with football??? Can we all just focus on the athletic genius that is David Beckham!?!? Love him to pieces. Could just eat him up with a spoon!

This happens when you’re better than everyone you’re playing against: they take out your legs. That’s what that guy (#15 red shirt) was doing. He’s not good enough to actually keep up with our Becks so he just tries to kick him down and cause an injure…or in this case make an existing injury worse.

#33 Maurizio: totally agree with you. Beckham is leagues ahead of the fools he’s playing with (on both sides!). He’ll only get frustrated playing at such a low level. Yeah he’s great, but one man can’t win a game when everyone from the forward, to the defense, to the goalkeeper sucks!!!

england needs beckham
who cares if he’s overrated(i dont think he is)
he has talent
and everyobdy loves him
including me

frank yallop is stupid

The whole sport is a mistake. Send the guy back but leave his woman here. She can play on my team anyday.

she looks like a plastic doll with that dress,ridiculous hair and shades.

im not trying to rag on the beckhams but isnt david kind of not the best soccer player i can think of other players esp. some latin american ones who are WAY better players than david. i just think he should have turned to modeling or something. he had a really awesome career in futbol but i dunno …. ill keep wathcing though to see what he does

your title to this post was very misleading and clearly done to attract attention to the post. unappreciated.
