Galaxy vs. Whitecaps
Unfortunately the Galaxy lost their friendly vs. the Vancouver Whitecaps last night, 2-1. The Galaxy's lone goal came off an assist by Becks.
David played for 75 minutes despite a niggling injury to his foot (bruise):
He ran miles, from the left to the right, on that wonky pin, and took the whole thing seriously enough to be caught arguing some salient points with the officials at the end of the match.
"It happened against Salt Lake,'' said Beckham of his injury. "The ball was rolled back to me. A player came on top and went through me. I was caught by the studs.
"But it's not a problem. I've played with it for three games.' Read more here
Another excerpt:
His foot was ailing but not his will, so once again, David Beckham slipped in to his LA Galaxy jersey and out onto another foreign pitch where he won over a crowd of 37,104 at Commonwealth Stadium.
What he couldn’t do was score a victory for the Galaxy, which was defeated 2-1 by the Vancouver Whitecaps in Tuesday’s exhibition match.
“Hopefully, everyone went home happy,” said Beckham, who left a league game against Real Salt Lake with a bruised foot.
“He still came here to perform… he still put in a good performance. He didn’t want to come off. That just shows his character,” head coach Rudd Gullit said of his captain, who played 74 minutes - 29 more minutes than he was contractually obligated to play. More here.
