Poor David Beckham. Just kidding, it's David Beckham, and there's absolutely no reason to pity him! Still, by Becks' standards it's been a shitty week. First, Great Britain left him off their Olympics team even though Beckham was instrumental in London's efforts to bring the Games to England. Then, perhaps feeling as though he needed an outlet for his pent-up aggression, he started some shit with Steve Cronin and the San Jose Earthquakes in the dying seconds of the LA Galaxy's 4-3 loss on Saturday.
So this is a few days into old news territory, but we were busy with the Euro, dammit. Now we're going to fling ourselves full force into Major League Soccer, because that's what's going down this summer. Anywho, with the game almost over, San Jose's Steve Cronin went down with an "injury," an obvious attempt to run out the clock. Beckham took exception and drop-kicked a ball from the sideline, hitting Cronin. He's still got it!
You can predict what happens next: a bunch of dudes bumping chests and shoving each other halfheartedly. But wait! There's the San Jose mascot holding an ESPN sign! And Becks doesn't like it! Just watch:
This dust-up went down well after Beckham put in another signature free kick (Note: It's required by law to call Becks' dead ball strikes "signature":
While we're talking about David Beckham, is anyone else digging his new pirate look? My guess is he's hoping for a role in Pirates of the Caribbean 5: Hanging Out on a Beach and Peepin' Babes.
