So did David Beckham disappoint his US fans? well maybe. He came in with a huge bang into the airport. Every photographer in the city may have been there trying to catch a shot of the man that will put Los Angeles onto Soccer’s world map.
All the hype and glitz… but they end up loaning him out to Italy? O.K. lets check it out. Seems Dave may be pre-occupied with other things since in 2 seasons he has only managed to get 5 goals for the team and… the team has not done all that well.
However, I do hear he may have a great underwear modeling career ahead of him as David Beckham posed in his tighty whities for for a well known designer.
LOS ANGELES (Oct 30)
The LA Galaxy and AC Milan announced an agreement late today which, among other things, will send England star David Beckham to the Italian club beginning January of next year.
In accordance with the new agreement Beckham will continue to practice and play with the MLS club for the 2009 season (not concurrent with European season).
Beckham has been a member of the Galaxy of MLS since January of 2007, and competed for the club in the past two seasons.
Despite setting records in the league for transfer fee and compensation, Beckham’s two seasons with the Galaxy have produced just 5 goals and 10 assists. The Galaxy have also failed to make the league playoffs in both years.

Is Beckham fever dying out a bit? well, in the U.S. it seems to have. Some time back back it was that you couldn’t even flip the TV channels a few times without running into David Beckham or his wife Victoria on one TV show or another.
Today, I can’t even remember the last time I saw an interview, in the US that is.
So is David Beckham fever dying a slow death? hmmm.
Recently in New Zealand..
International football star David Beckham and his LA Galaxy team were greeted by hundreds of cheering fans and a traditional Maori welcome when they arrived in New Zealand on Wednesday.
A tired-looking Beckham, 33, signed shirts, posters and footballs after the team were welcomed by about 200 fans in Auckland ahead of an exhibition match against an Oceania All Stars team.
Beckham fever appeared to be at a lower pitch than on the Galaxy’s first visit to New Zealand last year. Really? yeah, I guess Dave may need to get out more.
More than 31,000 fans saw the US team beat the Wellington Phoenix 4-1 in a friendly and 15,000 turned up to watch the team train in New Zealand’s capital.
I guess David Beckham is not selling as many tickets as he used to. I know New Zealand is not known for its population, but only 200 fans? wow… what is going on.
