Maybe it’s the wonderfully cheesy Tex-Mex or the sweltering Texas heat that is keeping David Beckham out of today’s game in Dallas? Regardless, patience must be running thin for the $250 million U.S. soccer savior. From the L.A. Times:
The superstar with the ailing left ankle stayed at home Monday when the Galaxy flew to Texas for tonight’s match against FC Dallas, a match Los Angeles must win, or at least tie, to stay alive in the eight-team tournament.
Meanwhile, Beckham’s place on the England national team for its prestigious friendly against Germany at Wembley on Aug. 22 is beginning to come into doubt because of the midfielder’s injured left ankle.
“If he plays in the Toronto game and he plays in the D.C. game, those are the two games he probably needs to say, ‘I feel great,’ ” (Galaxy Coach) Yallop said. “I’m sure England will wait until the last minute, because he’s been so influential for them. They’ll probably give him all kinds of time to make sure he’s ready to go.”
Yallop said Beckham would travel with the Galaxy to Toronto on Friday, and insisted that the ankle is not in worse shape than originally believed. [SOURCE]
Could there be even more to this than what is reported? Maybe he just can’t stand to be away from his orange-sherbet-lover Posh for more than two seconds?
