(source) & (source) By now, I'm sure you already know L.A. Galaxy lost their match against Toronto, 3-2, which had the worst record in the league until Sunday.
I know many DBFOers have already expressed their anger with the lack of performance on the club as a whole and that David would be better off in another environment. I'm sure this match resulted in a few choice words from those that share this opinion.
While it was a disappointing result for everyone including David himself, we must remember, like Dina mentioned previously that he is there to stay.
The season is still very early and while he shares some of your thoughts as he points out in a few of his comments to reporters:

"We lost our shape in the second half,"... "That's where the problem started and they started passing the ball around us and they started creating chances."

and

"It's about creating chances and having the confidence to finish them off," ... "It's about putting the goals away. Hopefully that will start soon."

However he is also quick to jump back and encourage with comments like:

"Three games into the season we can't panic too much but it is obviously not the result we wanted."

and

"There's a big spotlight on the team," ... "Let's just look forward to this next game and forget this one happened."

After the match there was also a lot of talk about an offense by Beckham by fouling Toronto's Jeff Cunningham. Beckham could have received a red card.

"Sometimes they're given and sometimes they're not," said Beckham of the foul. "We got away with one."

Even Cunningham himself admits however that it would have been cruel.

"The rule says it should be a red card, but I'm a player, too, and that would have been a bit harsh,"

Stress factor
Also on an interesting note, when asked about the effect of his presence of the team and the fact that it might make other players nervous and thus harder for them to perform. Beckham shrugged it off saying:
"I don't want to discuss too much about myself in the Galaxy,"... "It's more important to talk about the team and the players. That's more important at the moment."

I think whoever brought up this point with him might have something. Beckham is already used to the pressure after all these years but perhaps it might take a few more match for the newer player to be up to par on the stress management level. Stress, nervousness and lack of confidence can certainly hinder performance to a great degree. Time will tell I suppose. Lets hope that they get this in check quickly if this is indeed a factor :)

Next Match
The next match is next Saturday April 19th against Houston Dynamo at 7:30 PT.


Watching The Lakers With The Boys

David took Brooklyn and Romeo courtside to watch the Lakers win over the Hornets. The boys were dresses in Lakers and all 3 seemed to enjoy the match very much.

Get a load of this picture David took with a giant (Ronny Turiaf) after the game. Honey, I shrunk David Beckham!:

Site Maintenance
As Dina mentioned previously, we are implementing further security measures on the server that hosts DBFO, while the forums and gallery are back up now, I still can't add new pictures to the gallery. There are a lot of pictures to add too and I promise to add them as soon as I'm able to. Sorry for the wait :(.
