So, David Beckham Was Actually Running?David Beckham is injured yet again. During the second half of a 1-1 draw with Getafe on Sunday, Goldenballs pulled up lame with a ligament strain in his knee. Unlike his last mid-match injury where he shamed the whole of England with his sissypants, touchline tears, Becks left the pitch of the Bernabeu like a bit of a man and sparked panic amongst the LA Galaxy's 8,000 fans. It looks like the injury is going to cost him a month of downtime, the Galaxy's season opener, and a chance to make the Three Lions squad for our match against Israel next month. The England bit is of no concern to me; I live in a perpetual state of doom and gloom no matter who mans the squad. We could suit up a FIFA All-Star team in Her Majesty's colours and still find a way to go down in flames.
I've watched Becks his entire professional career and that bloke hasn't made a move or torn off in mad pursuit since 1998. Dead balls aside, David Beckham plays soccer like old people fuck. Don't get me wrong - I don't blame him for it anymore; he's not at fault. Few know it but an invisible force field about 10 meters in diameter lives on the right side half line of every pitch. When Becks crosses the touchline, this phenomenon envelopes him and holds him captive for the duration of the match. It's really quite fascinating. Defenders are able to get into the forcefield; he just can't get out. Should he try to cross the plane, he's zapped back to the center... that's also why he looks so confused all the time. With that in mind, how did he ever hurt himself?? I call shenanigans. David Beckham is either faking this injury to stick it to Fabio Capello or he's been screwing England over for years. Who knew this bastard could move quickly enough to get an injury when he wasn't celebrating a goal?  Posted at March 7, 2007 10:13 AM Permalink • Filed under: Football (Soccer) |
But back to Beckham. I'm a bit confused by this. It doesn't take much to injure an ankle like he did at the World Cup. Divots, tackles, missteps.. it's amazing how little it takes for an ankle to breakdown. But to tear a knee ligament means that you probably: a) made a move that your knee couldn't handle; b) tore after the ball and screwed yourself when stopping momentum; or c) got tackled and tangled while doing a or b.

This saves the clueless ginger from having to catch hell from the press, which is good. His only concern for the next month should be finding a way to not manage like total, stinking shite.

lol absolutely spot on, I can't believe the clamour there's been to get the ponce back in an England shirt.

Or perhaps he's faking it to avoid the embarrassment he'll suffer in the American press when the Ginger Whinger leaves him off the squad.

I don't get it either. Beckham was the only thing going for them in the World Cup. They act like he can't be useful in any kind of way.

I'm an American but it's pretty obvious that he's a total waste of roster space. England is trying to be a team that's actually young, fast and heavy on attack and Beckham doesn't fit into that at all. He's only good for free kicks. He doesn't contribute in ANY other way. So having him there just for the occasional dead ball takes a spot away from a player that can develop and do good things for their team. Plus he's getting old, he's injured all the time, and he's not going to be able to carry them to any championship. Time to move on.

"Beckham was the only thing going for them in the World Cup."
Lennon showed more intelligence and skill in the few moments he was given at the World Cup than that show donkey ponce did throughout. Don't be fooled by a few fluke (over hit) free kicks.

Beckham wasn't the only thing going for them in the WC, there was also Walcott...HAHAAHA sorry luv couldn't say that with a straight face.
The injury is a useless talking point because it doesn't affect his debut in the MLS (which i think is either in July or August) and he had no bloody chase in hell of making the squad. Yeah he got a lucky break and scored a goal for Real on his return to the starting XI, whoopy-f***ing-do!

Galaxy overpaid to go bold on a "shot in the arm" marketing strategy. It appears that it may not pan out.
So then, all looks and no play make LA a dull ploy.
