0-0 But Beckham Performs
While the match ended in a tie, Beckham put out a nice performance and I'm sure Franco Baldini, who traveled 10000 miles to assess David's fitness will have good things to report to Fabio Capello.
Even if he denied feeling the pressure to perform, to me it was obvious from his emotions and the few heated moments, many with Rocha from FC Dallas (see the gallery) that David really wanted to make an impression and he did. It's what defines champions: how well they perform under pressure and I don't see anything wrong with that :).
Reunited with old friends
Here's a photo update to Beckham's reunion with old friends, the Alcaca family with whom he stayed 19 years ago (Dina's original post here).
New Body Art
Here's a picture TMZ posted today, for the meaning, I filtered through all the wisecrack comments and one of them seem like it might be right, he/she says it means something like "everything is pre-destined".
Pepsi Commercial
Here's the new Pepsi commercial Dina mentioned a few days ago.
The Daily Mail points out he kinda looks like Indiana Jones :D

you're about two days late on the post about the family in dallas...you should probably read your own site because it's been mentioned already. nice job!

Thanks for the headsup, I missed that one. I removed it from this one.

An observation:
I don't mean to be rude or judgemental but for someone who runs a Beckham fan site, franco's knowledge of David Beckham seems to be very scant, limited and superficial.
I really think he should be more knowldegeable about David's career and background as many of his posts indicate a lack of awareness and understanding of David's career path and professional life.

Thanks for your opinion, you're entitled to them. I just try and do the best I can of updating this site for the fans.
Helpers are always appreciated if you want to write articles and I'm sure you can do a better job than me as I'm far from considering myself a good writer, you're more than welcomed to.
I just try to at least update on the news surrounding Beckham and update with latest pictures.

I think we should at least appreciated Franco's work.

becks debuted a new tat at the dallas game, its some foreign language written down his side. we saw it when he took his shirt off and tmz has pictures of it
11:37 AM
Yeah, I was hitting "publish" as you wrote it :)
11:51 AM
it is writen in Chinese characters.
he has too many tats. I hope someone could tell him no more tats on his beautiful body.
11:54 AM
Great stuff Franco, love the pics and I love his new body art. Wonder if he got that over in China, given he was there.
12:26 PM
Thanks Dina. I'm not sure, it would make sense as I would imagine it takes at least a few days to not be red-ish?
12:31 PM
We thank you for the job.We not love his tats, God has done a Becks a great gift, but to disfigure him and the body.Samand Gabry to advise him to draw on a sheet. Loredana

So i was just on realmadrid.com and the club is conducting a month long poll to determine the top 100 players in their history... and somehow you can't even vote for Becks!!! I wish there was a way to send them a message expressing our discontent...
LOL You can vote for Van Nistelrooy and Canavarro, who have been there for 1 year but you can't vote for Beckham... absolutely ludicrous!! I guess that's what you get for giving everything you have in every game you play for 4 years and being recognized by the fans as the most dedicated player during the Galacticos era! Calderon obviously still hasn't built a bridge over the fact that becks left for LA...

George, Real Madrid's contractual buyout clause for Becks was 180 million Euros, about half of his revenue value to the club (luckily we, along with most of Spain, know that his value as a teammate on and off the pitch can't be quantified).
Calderon will probably never be able to face how badly he screwed up come last June when he had no contract, no transfer fee, and a bunch of angry fans who were losing a favorite player. ;-) maybe he stuffed all memory of Beckham into the same closet he hid the bags ballots that might have elected his opponent...convenient, a closet like that!
For us, its bittersweet looking back on that period. The race for the title and Becks' role in that was truly amazing, the club's treatment of him was vile, and the press and public farewell was incredibly moving.
1) Let's launch a write-in campaign.
2) I've said this before, gut that man can never be allowed months off at a time from football, it ALWAYS leads to more tats. (I'm also waiting for a final translation, I'm not sure how well this one goes along with nothing is impossible).
2:36 PM
Well said, Diane. Totally agree with you. I just read a article saying that Real Marid is going down and there were no much mdedia attendence for their games since Becks left. Calderon must ate the consquence. Let's do a write-in campaign. vote for Becks.

I am Chinese and I can read the new tarttoo. So far the Sun's translation is the most accurate.

Today I heard an interview with Capello and he said that if David not suffered injury in preason with the Galaxy, will be called upon to play his 100 cap against France .. David has played, is good, and then just have to wait. Capello said that David is the most loved footballer in the world.Ciao everybody Loredana , Samuele, Gabriele
6:12 AM
Yup, Diane, agree with you on that one, the media coverage on Madrid is considerably down now that Beckham's gone. But aside from his marketing value, Madrid lacked Beckham's contribution in midfield, the strikers are missing their pin point passes from him. About the tats :) yup beckham always get a tattoo whenever he had off days---and it gets addictive, my brother started with one, and now he is covering his whole back with them :) but I respect his body art, its way of expressing himself.

Thanks Loredana for the interview news of Capello. What he said was abslutely true that David is the most loved footaballer in the world. We love him!!!

That's so great to hear Loredana, especially Capello's quote, he really has my respect for his honesty about the mistakes he made with David, and his honesty about how he sees him now. (Unlike OTHERS we just mentioned at R.M.).
Hey Marie!!! It's great to see you again. I thought of you when I was worrying about all of the frowning in the pics of the Dallas match, I figured that you and Loredana, Samuele and Gabriel would be having the same thoughts as me :-) . And yes, Madrid clearly misses him. Have continued to read some nice quotes from his teammates there. Even Raul in his Four Four Two interview! Hope you're well.
