David, Victoria & the Lakers
Becks treated Posh to floor seats for a Lakers game last night.

Snippet from this article:
At one point during the game, Becks got a warm greeting from Lakers center Didier Ilunga-Mbenga, whose 7’0” towering statue made the soccer stud look like a dwarf.

You can see some pictures of them at the game here, and a couple more here!

Here's a video from an interview he did at a Lakers game tonight, as well:



Becks Weighs in on Champions League
For those keeping up with the UEFA Champions League, the LA Times is reporting David's pick for the final:

On Thursday, Beckham, now with the Galaxy, said his money is on his old team.

"I think they've got a great chance," he said. "They played some great football last night and they've done it all season. They're favorites, I'm sure."

Manchester United knocked AS Roma out in the quarterfinals Wednesday night, after Liverpool had ousted Arsenal the night before. Which team would Beckham want to see ManU avoid in the May 21 final in Moscow?

"I don't care," he said. "A Man United-Liverpool final would be incredible, but it's hard to call because Chelsea have picked up and are playing some good football now. We'll see, but it would be an amazing final, Man United and Liverpool." (Source)


Galaxy Tryout Cuban Refugees
3 of the 6 Cuban players who defected during an Olympics qualifier tournament last month have been given a 2 week tryout at the Galaxy:

Gullit said the Galaxy is serious about the tryout, and if one or more can add depth to the Galaxy, so much the better. "It's always good to have players come in and push other players and teammates for positions," Beckham said. "They're good players. It's been good."
