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.

Jeff Baker at New University wrote an interesting article today about David Beckham and his contributions (or lack thereof) to the development of soccer in North America. It’s true that this is a tough market to crack. We seem to love technical games like football and baseball or fighting games like boxing, ultimate fighting, wrestling and hockey. If you put those two together soccer represents a game we wouldn’t enjoy. Low scoring easy to understand games with players acting like pansy’s in the field.

It seems that David Beckham will do anything these days to be in an advertisement. I would have expected more underwear posters but this time it will be in a Star Trek outfit. Beckham and Noel Gallagher of Oasis were seen at a London photoshoot dressed as undisclosed Start Treck Characters.

It’s still unknown what the commercial was for except that it will involve Beckham, Gallagher, Ian Brown, Snoop Dogg, Agyness Deyn and Daft Punk. Sounds like a real mix matched bunch to me. I should also mention that the ad is being done by adidas though that hardly means anything. …read more

If you read this blog often you’ll notice that I am of course a soccer fan but that I love the Montreal Impact and the Bordeaux Girondins.

David Beckham was the star at the beach today. Film crews and curious fans surrounded the LA Galaxy star to catch him doing what he does best… pose for the camera. They filmed him taking several soccer ball kicks into the ocean for a new travel California commercial. The California commercial from last season is credited for helping California’s travel industry rebound as more and more people are deciding to stay home for the summer. With the economy the way it is, it’s becoming increasingly more difficult to get people to bathe in the California sun. That’s why a little …read more

I feel creepy writing about this but after reading TMZ.com’s article about Cristiano Ronaldo newest topless photos I decided to finally get a real survey done on this topic. Without trying to lead you on or change your vote, I’d just like to say that Ronaldo is younger than Beckham – Beckham has a large amount of ridiculous tattoos, and he sounds like Harry Potter. So keep that in mind when voting on your favorite European soccer stud.
So who will it be? Should David Beckham take home the hottest prize award or should Cristiano Ronaldo?

It seems that all the news is about David Beckham these days. The snowball of events have lead up to a new $1,000 fine to Becks by the MLS commission.

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.
