It's great to hear from David Beckham. I was wondering how is injury status was going & when he maybe back for The Galaxy. I hope that he gets back for the end of the MLS season & The Galaxy play The Red Bulls in the MLS Championshop game & he does well & The Galaxy win a Championship with David!
who cares about this self centered jerk; why don't the Galaxy get a player that REALLY wants to play for the Galaxy?
