Beckham struggles to put a brave face on LA Galaxy Defeat
David Beckham was clearly disappointed after LA Galaxy crashed 3-2 at home to Toronto FC on Sunday. Beckham played all 90 minutes but could not prevent LA Galaxy sliding to defeat at home to the previously winless Canadian side.
'We are disappointed,' he said. Three games into the season we can't panic too much but it is obviously not the result we wanted.'
Danny Dichio put Toronto ahead on 42 minutes, with Landon Donovan equalising for the Galaxy a minute later. Jarrod Smith got Toronto back into the lead after 53 minutes before Beckham helped to win a penalty for his team when Carl Robinson handled his attempted cross inside the area.
Donovan converted the spot-kick but Galaxy's hopes were dashed when Jeff Cunningham scored a breakaway goal with three minutes to go, leaving the hosts to rue a series of missed chances.
'As long as I can create chances at some point we are going to score,' he said. 'Hopefully that will start soon.'
The Galaxy play defending MLS Cup champions Houston Dynamo at the Home Depot Center on April 19.

Beckham is playing in America, the backwater of world football, amongst such luminaries as Danny Dichio, Landon Donavon and Jarrod Smith. His team are awful. So why is a self professed "English football blog" still wasting its time on this ex-footballer-cum-current-celebrity?
Probably the same reason why i'm commenting on him i suppose.
HEELLLPPP!!!!
