Becks on Ellen, Again
I located the full appearance on Ellen in two parts, rather than a bunch of smaller clips. You can see them on YouTube here: Part 1 + Part 2.
Looking Forward to Canada
David spoke to Canadian press about the Galaxy friendly in Edmonton, Canada in May. He said he was looking forward to the trip and spoke favourably about Wayne Gretzky, hockey legend. You can read the full article with many quotations here.
Excerpt:
"I'm interested in any person that has made a difference like he did in a sport," Beckham told one reporter who compared him to Gretzky, moving to Los Angeles and changing the character of the sport.
"Without a doubt he is one of the legends - he is the legend.
"I haven't met him yet but I would love to meet him one day," Beckham said. "I think that he's one of the best sportsman of anyone's time.
And, when you do something like that to a sport which he did - that's what you need - that's what anybody needs in their lives - someone to look up to - a role model."
Becks Possible for 2010
Capello has spoken out about David's long-term goal of playing for England in 2010:
"The door is open. He played the last game, and did well against France," Capello was quoted as saying by sports newspaper Marca on Friday. "It depends. There are players who at 33 or 34 take good care of themselves, they understand that the body is not as it was and they take more care. It depends a lot on that."
While critics have always dismissed the idea of David participating out-of-hand, it seems Capello is not swayed by their opinions!

I'll be back tomorrow in time to give you links for viewing, listening to, or reading text commentary of tomorrow night's game against Chivas. Whenever Galaxy and Chivas meet up it's usually a lively affair, so get ready!

Can't wait for Becks to meet Gretzky and hopefully have some pictures with it! I know Wayne has said a few times that his boys are big Beckham fans. There are so many similarities between the two: their popularity as sports icons, moving to Los Angeles, and trying to popularize their sport in a crowded U.S. market.
David is probably learning the same thing Gretzky did: if you win, they will come. If you don't win, L.A. can be a fickle town.
Good luck tomorrow vs. Chivas (hopefully no fights this time!).
