David Beckham

With Beckham’s race over to Milan scheduled for January, many fans are wondering if he’s going to try to skip out on LA Galaxy again. Who know I suppose. He denies the rumours but lets face it fans should have the right worry about him not returning. The only thing that really keeps him in North America is his 5 year contract (that could be broken if needed), and his hopes of owning a MLS soccer team in the future. Some are even speculating that he’s plannning on buying the Montreal Impact if they joined the MLS.

Beckham says that he needs to play for AC Milan to be considered for the Team England spot during the World Cup Games in South Africa. Another visit to Italy could ruin his career in Los Angeles permanently. MLS managers are now looking past the days of bringing marketable big players to their league and are instead looking for loyal players who will act like they want to play here.

It’s not so bad tha Beckham went over on loan to AC Milan it was the fact that he never wanted to come back. I mean he fought tooth and nail to stay and be apart of their permanent lineup. It went beyond wanting to make the English World Cup squad, and instead dipped into the I want to be out of my contract with the LA Galaxy.

David Beckham (L) from the Los Angeles Galaxy hugs Ronaldinho (R) from AC Milan after their friendly match at the Home Depot Stadium in Los Angeles on July 19, 2009

The match ended in a surprising 2-2 draw, but what was more shocking was the fact that Beckham played through the game despite being heckled and booed at. Finally at the end on the game a member of the “LA Riot Squad” yelled insults to Beckham who then turned to him calling him out. The man jumped over the sideline and was tackled and arrested by security for trespassing.

The Riot Squad was deeply regretful for the incident and have said that the member was disbanded from the group.

It will be a while before fans will take to the English player again. Like Barack Obama, after arriving everyone expected things to change. Now here we are, still waiting for the world of soccer to change on us.

They will be playing at the humble BMO fields located in Toronto. A small stadium compared to the giant one’s they are used to playing at in Milan. It will definitely be a different kind of atmosphere than what AC Milan are used to.

The BMO Fields need to have a little makeover though before they agreed to play there. Most soccer clubs and players for that matter hate the new fake turf that was installed in Toronto. So they will be covering the pitch with temporary grass to appeal to AC Milan. In Toronto’s defense the turf was installed because it promised to be more durable and be the same as playing on real grass. Despite the hype, professional players still seems to prefer the real thing.

He’s currently training with England before he makes the trip back to the United states. He promised to return to LA once the season was over with Milan. So he’ll basically have to work harder than most players in the business because he’s seeing two team through to the end of their seasons.

Beckham and AC Milan are still hopeful that he will be able to return to them by the begining of next season if things work out with the LA Galaxy.

It’s too bad that he couldn’t just see his plan through with the MLS and boost soccer’s popularity here. That was the idea wasn’t it?

Beckham may even be paying the fine partly out of his own pocket, unusual for a player to be paying to play soccer instead of the other way around. Though he must return to the MLS on July 1st and play till the end of the MLS season. In 2010 Beckham’s contract will be up and he will once again be free to sign with another club. I doubt though that too many other clubs will seriously consider him knowing now what a flip-flopper he has become.
