Catch-up
There's a few things to catch up on -* Here's a nice interview with former Manchester United Goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel. He talks about England missing Euro 2008 and suggests the players need look no further than team-mate David Beckham for an example of how to cope with difficult times. Schmeichel said of Becks come back following his sending off at the 98 World Cup, "Beckham showed unbelievable mental strength to come through to the other side. It was magnificent to see one of your team-mates respond like that... When he went to the World Cup in 1998 he was a very good player. The next season he was an absolutely extraordinary player and was one of the reasons why United won the Treble."
Schmeichel, also backed David Beckham's continued involvement with England, read all his comments online here. Thanks to Sagnad for the link!
* There is a nice video of David Beckham at his academy celebrating the 2 year anniversary of its opening online here.
* In LA Galaxy news, Gavin Glinton has been traded to San Jose and I think I forgot to mention that the MLS Board of Directors have voted to allow Landon Donovan to remain 'effectively grand-fathered' with the LA Galaxy, details here.
* The LA Galaxy have launched an official blog thanks to Ben for the heads up.
* Also here are a couple of cute stories from the Down Under tour. Ross Aloisi, Captain of the Phoenix talks about swapping shirts with Becks, here and you can read the story of the seven year-old school boy who carried out the match ball, here.

I'm on the fence on whether getting to keep Landy-cakes is good news or bad. When Landon is good he's really good but he pulls off an amazing impersonation of the invisible man a bit too often for me...
