David Beckham clip
Update - More photos of Becks out and about in LA picking up coffee in the the gallery
The above video is a compilation of the behind the scenes 'making of' the ESPN: Hello America TV spot, the ESPN preview for the documentary David Beckham: New Beginnings and footage from the filming of the W magazine shoot. I posted the links to these clips on the site on Friday but if any of you missed any of them you can catch-up now!
Joe Cole backs Becks
Joe Cole, currentlyon tour with Chelsea in the US, told reporters "David's a fantastic player and I have no doubt whatsoever that he will be a monumental success in America. His career and achievements in the game speak for themselves and since he has returned to the national side he looks fresher and hungrier.He's playing like someone 10 years younger than his age. As far as I'm concerned there are few players better than him at the moment. In the recent England games he created three of the four goals — doesn't that speak for itself?
He came back into a side under enormous pressure, aside from the pressure he was under himself. But he just rises above all the hype, keeps his head down and plays football." You can read more from Joe in The Sun
Other news
* Tours - LA Galaxy have revealed that in additon to the exhibition match scheduled for November 27th against Sydney FC in Australia they also have matches in Asia and England planned.* TV - Fox Soccer Channel are going to be airing 'Beckhamania' a special review of David Beckham's LA Galaxy presentation tonight, at 8PM ET check your local listings.
* Injury news - In case you missed this quote from David Beckham he said when asked about his injury on Friday "Well, I was in the south of France, as you all saw last week, on a bicycle... I was doing 45 kilometers a day. Physically, I'm great. My ankle is still slightly swollen. I ran on it for the first time about three days ago in London. It felt slightly unstable, so there's still a bit of work to do. I'll be getting that work done in the next couple of days by massaging and treatment and hopefully a bit of running, and we'll take it from there. It should be alright for the game against Chelsea." Becks sounds optimistic so fingers crossed that his recovery goes to plan.
Updated - Becks was also quoted in the LA Times as saying "The [therapist] already has looked at it here, and he said the sooner we can get massage into it and working on it, the better. So hopefully I'll be training by the middle of next week and be ready for the game." Based on this I would say that David Beckham does not expect to train with the team on Monday as planned although it's still possible he might make a brief appearance during the LA Galaxy open day?
* Authentic and long-sleeve jerseys - Thanks to Becks fan Ben for the heads up! In addition to replica jerseys, authentic long-sleeve LA Galaxy shirts are now available through Soccer.com
* MLS Net - There is news and videos for David Beckham on the official MLS site including a nice article about Becks family values here.
I've also added a couple more photos from David Beckham's Sports Illustrated shoot and replaced a couple of the W Magazine images with larger pics in the gallery.

Hi Jill, I don't know whether he will attend the LA Galaxy open day or not but based on searching through his quotes it does sound like there is some doubt - as he has said he doesn't expect to train before the middle of the week. Sorry I don't know any more, perhaps ring the club that's all I can suggest.
Thanks Charlotte and anonynous you are welcome :)

It's a concern if he is injured because theres so much hype and there will be so much focus on him and so many will be quick to criticize if he doesn't have a great game because he's not really fit. They should have been monitoring this injury before committing and doing all this publicity for July 21 :-(

Hi,
I love this site. Thank you for your hard work!
Did everybody else notice that one the behind the scene video which includes the W magazine shoot, that there are some scenes where I think its not David and Vic but their doubles. Because the wrong David has longer hairs as the real David has on the pics!
Kind regards,
Nadja
