Becks is Disappointed with Scoreless Tie Last Night
Last night, the Los Angeles Galaxy took on DC United at the Home Depot center. The end result was a disappointing tied score of 0-0.Even though David was appointed Captain in last night's match as Landon Donovan was away with USA duties, he still was extremely dissatisfied with the way the team played. "We have to forget this performance," Beckham said. “It was a disappointing performance, no matter who's not playing."
Head coach Bruce Arena wasn't thrilled either: "I think our performance tonight was totally poor," Galaxy coach Bruce Arena said, adding that Donovan's absence had "nothing to do with" the team’s poor display.
The Galaxy defense did its job once again though, posting the team’s fourth consecutive shutout and earning a point for the MLS leaders (8-2-6, 30 points).
"Shutting them out was probably the only positive tonight," midfielder David Beckham said.
LA Galaxy News and Notes:
- Friday night sightings at the Home Depot Center: Dutch midfielder Wesley Sneijder watched the match with his wife... they sat near Victoria and the boys

- Captain Landon Donovan was named the MLS Player of the Month for May... he scored six goals in seven games as the Galaxy posted a 4-1-2 record during the month.

David Beckham to Wear Galaxy Captain Band Tomorrow
The LA Galaxy will host D.C. United tomorrow (Friday - June 3rd) and they will also honor local Southern California military men and women with 1,000 free tickets.The Galaxy will once again be short-handed this season with Landon Donovan and Donovan Ricketts participating in the Gold Cup this weekend. With Landon Donovan out of the picture, the captain of the Galaxy will be David Beckham. With Ricketts also playing for the United States, the Galaxy will lean on Josh Saunders to pick up the slack between the sticks as the Galaxy goalkeeper.
This is the second meeting between the D.C. United and the Los Angeles Galaxy. The first match resulted in a tie when the two played in Washington D.C. With this match taking place at the Home Depot Center in Carson, the Galaxy will still have an edge despite missing two of their most important stars.
Juan Pablo Angel will have to step up in this match and give support to Beckham. Chad Barrett is another Los Angeles Galaxy scorer that will need to come to the fore front.
The Galaxy-United tilt is the featured MLS game of the week on the Fox Soccer Channel and the star of the show will undoubtedly be David Beckham. With Landon Donovan away at the Gold Cup, it is the perfect opportunity for the Galaxy to promote some of their other incredibly talented stars.

David Beckham.. Back in his Manchester United Jersey
A very happy David Beckham proudly wore his Manchester United #7 jersey this week when he participated in the Gary Neville Testimonial Match between Manchester United and Juventus at Old Trafford early this week. The soccer star was there to support his longtme friend Gary Neville after his retirement from the sport.
But all was not easy during the match. A young boy ran onto the field which stopped David from his corner kick for a few minutes. The boy was actually caught by Becks who scopped him up in a bit of a bear hug. Minutes later, the fan was escorted off the field and David took his position for the corner kick.

David to Wear his Manchester United Shirt Once More
David Beckham will return to the Manchest United to star in Gary Neville's testimonial match against Juventus. This willl help re-unite the famed 'Class of 92'. Eight years after he left for Real Madrid, it will bring all six close friends back in the United side again. And Beckham cannot wait."Putting a United shirt on again never gets old," Beckham said. "I get goose bumps every time I think about stepping out at Old Trafford again, as does walking out on the pitch. To be able to do that for Gary and his family means it is going to be an emotional night."
Davidn and Gary Neville were extremely close so this means a lot to David. "I played with him for so many years. We were room-mates, he was best man at my wedding and he is one of my best friends. I am looking forward to seeing him play. After a few months of not playing and training, that will be interesting. Gary is still so dedicated. It is the reason why he has achieved so much in his career and why United fans love him. He is a great home-grown talent which United are famous for producing. He always gave me a lot of advice over the years - the majority of which was good. He is such a talent and hard worker. He really deserves this night."
Mrs. Beckham is also very excited to see David in Man. United colors again! Victoria tweeted about it today: "Tonight is going to be an amazing night for David at Old Trafford! great to see him in a Man U shirt playing with his old team mates!!! x vb".

David is Suspended from Tomorrow's Match
David Beckham's latest yellow card has resulted in an automatic one-game suspension for the Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder. Beckham received the booking for a reckless tackle during the first half of Wednesday's scoreless draw against Toronto FC. It was his league-high fifth yellow card through six games.
Beckham must sit out Sunday's match against the Chicago Fire. Galaxy forward Juninho will also miss the game after earning a pair of yellow cards on Wednesday.
Beckham is playing in the fifth and final year of his original contract, but recently said he'd be open to returning to MLS after this season. He leads the team with three assists.

Beckham: We Deserved the Win Against United
The Galaxy vs United matched ended in a 1-1 draw but that didn't sit well with midfielder and captian-for-the-time-being David Beckham. “Disappointed, disgusted,” Beckham said. “I felt we deserved the game. There’s no reason why we shouldn’t be walking away from this stadium tonight with three points.”
On the play that led to the penalty, United’s Branko Boskovic slipped a through ball to Davies, who found himself one on one with Galaxy defender Omar Gonzalez. Davies juked toward the endline, to which Gonzalez reacted by reaching out his arm. The United striker, upon feeling the slight contact, took a tumble.
Referee Abbey Okulaja pointed to the spot and United had the opportunity they’d hoped for.
It might have been a different situation if the Galaxy had been at full strength. Despite coach Bruce Arena’s midweek assessment that Donovan needed rest, it seems a knee injury kept Donovan from traveling with the team.
Still, the visitors did well to work together, to play as a unit and that play, Beckham said, should have been rewarded with more than just a point.
“I don’t think there’s much to improve on because I think that we played well,” Beckham said. “We passed the ball around well, we worked well, we defended well, so we just need to continue that. There’s not much that we need to work on, but we need to just work on obviously playing like that again and hopefully winning.”

Victoria Relaxes at Romeo's Soccer Game
Yesterday, Victoria Beckham and her entourage went to Romeo's soccer game which was held at the Home Depot Center which is the venue that David and the Galaxy play all of their home matches in. 
Victoria seemed at ease as she lounged in the grass and chatted with others but when she stood up, she was as Posh as ever towering in 5 inch Louboutin boots. Louboutins to soccer matches... one of the many reasons why I adore her!

Victoria Beckham Makes Sure the Boys Behave
Very rarely do you see the Beckham boys act out... kudos to Victoria & David's parenting skills! But this weekend at the LA Galaxy vs the Philadelphia Union game at the Home Depot Center, the boys looked like they were busy being boys... so Victoria made sure their play didn't escalate even further. Mommy Beckham even did something my own mother did (and still does) - point that finger to prove her point! 
On a side note, she looked amazing in a black jacket and blush top. She's still super petite but the itty bit of pregnancy weight she's put on really makes a difference... she looks incredible!! 
Recap: David Wears the Galaxy's Captain Band
David Beckham was asked to wear the captain's armband for the Los Angeles Galaxy for the first time in three years. Coach Bruce Arena decided that Beckham would be the captain for the team's game at Real Salt Lake because the regining captain, Landon Donovan, missed the match because he was with the U.S. national team for its exhibition against Argentina in East Rutherford, N.J. David took over as captain when he joined the team in 2007 but last captained the Galaxy on Oct. 26, 2008. "Yeah, Bruce has asked me to wear it, and I'll be proud to wear it," Beckham said. "It doesn't change the way I play. It's something you're very proud to wear, but you need more that that one leader on the field." Unfortunately the LA Galaxy lost the match with a final score of 4-1.
