Donovan, Beckham To Face Off

Jyle Dupuis — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 19:32:53 +0000

Just when you thought that the Donovan/Beckham fued was over another one starts up. The two just learned last Friday that they will be playing against each other in the opening round of the 2010 FIFA World Cup games in South Africa this June. Donovan will be playing for team USA with Beckham on the opposing team England.

Beckham has made it very clear that his biggest ambition in life is to win his country a World Cup Title. Something that has only been done once and only back in the 60’s. Many find it strange that England doesn’t have more World Cup wins under their belt but most agree that their best chance of a win will be with Beckham playing forward.Team USA wants this win badly as well though they seem to have a hard time making it past the first round.

So dispite the old fights and rivalries the two LA Galaxy team mates will be playing for real in June as they are both eager to prove themselves on the field for their countries. Not that it’s likely to happen, but what if Donovan happened to put one past Beckham and eliminate England from the World Cup? What would that do for them once the MLS season begins again? Well whatever happens they are both professionals and keep their competitiveness on the field.

Beckham In Talks About Going Back To Milan

David Beckham is starting it all over again. He’s talking to LA Galaxy club coach and managers about his desire to be loaned out to AC Milan for another season. While Beckham’s last visit to Milan lasted longer than agreed upon, he returned to a team who acted like they didn’t want him back. In fact he even got fined for a confrontation he participated in against the infamous LA Riot Squad who heckled his loyalty at during a exhibition game.

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.

Not sure why this one is newsworthy but the paparazzi of Los Angeles seemed to think that following David Beckham and his two sons to a store was eventful.

If Zidane is in town I suppose it would be impolite not to say hi to other international soccer stars. When Zinedine Zidane was in Canada with his family for the Charity games in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver, he took a quick jet down to Los Angeles to meet up with David and Victoria Beckham.

I knew this was going to happen. David Beckham hurt his ankle during a practice with AC Milan.

The injury in expected to recover in a few day but it has raised eyebrows to people wondering whether or not he is capable of playing a full season with AC Milan and the remaining season with LA Galaxy.

Well lets hope for Beckham’s sake that he has a speedy recovery and can get back to proving himself in Milan and soon in LA.
