David Beckham and the Los Angeles Galaxy are currently in New Zealand. They played an exhibition game against the Oceania All-Stars yesterday afternoon. David took some time out yesterday before the game to update us on his trip there.

He’s so excited to be back in NZ, he really loves it there. He thinks they have a tough game ahead of them, as the All-Stars are a talented team with lots of great players, but he’s confident the Galaxy can pull a win out.

David Beckham knows he can’t play football forever and is looking at planning his next career. The rumor is he’s interested in sports and entertainment financing and is already putting this plan in place with AEG and Galaxy owner Tim Leiweke.

Leiweke has promised David a boardroom job after retirement, if he so desires. The catch is that David is expected to be more than a figurehead and actually be involved in the ins-and-outs of the company, and this requires a crash course in sports financing. David has been taking a lot of talks with Tim and his daughter, Francesca, even taking her to a LA Lakers game earlier this month.

“He now has the high profile and celebrity status in America that Tim believes will attract further investors and raise public awareness of the company,” a source told The London News. “David will help AEG become a household name.”

Working with AEG would keep David in Los Angeles and involved in the Galaxy. I think it would be a great next step for him.

David Beckham wrote a brief blog post yesterday about his trip to Vegas last weekend. It was exciting for him to watch Ricky Hatton’s boxing match and to see his pal win. He was also excited to watch the England football team play in Berlin, although he was disappointed he wasn’t there himself to play the game.

David’s looking forward to the Galaxy’s match in New Zealand next week. It’s a brief post, but it’s nice to get caught up with what’s happening with David. I appreciate that he updates his blog even in the Galaxy off-season. You can read the post for yourself here.

David Beckham and the Los Angeles Galaxy played their final game of the season yesterday, playing Dallas to a 2-2 draw. Eddie Buddle and Landon Donovan picked up the two Galaxy goals, and David helped out with an assist. It was a disappointing end to a lackluster season for the Galaxy. Let’s hope they work hard during the off-season and come back next year better than ever.

Soccer isn’t over for for David though. He’s soon going to be headed to AC Milan to play during the off-season. How do you feel about David headed to Milan? ill it make him a better player for the Galaxy? Or is it unfair, and opens up questions about his loyalty to MLS and the Galaxy?

David Beckham updated his blog after England defeated Croatia 4-1 to qualify for the 2010 World Cup. David writes that he’s really pleased with how the team played and is so proud of Theo Walcott, who started over David in the game, but pulled out a hat trick to carry England to victory.

David’s already looking forward to returning to the Galaxy. Their next match is against Kansas City on Saturday.

David Beckham updated his blog today. He wrote about the draw the Galaxy had against the New England Revolution–what a well-fought game that was!–, training with the England squad for the World Cup, and more.

David also congratulats John Terry for being awarded the English captainship. As always, David is appreciative of the contributions others bring to his sport, and humbled by their excellence as he works beside them. David always impresses me with his class and grace when talking about teammates and competitors. You can tell he really loves soccer and everything about it.

David Beckham and the Los Angeles Galaxy played to a 2-2 draw against the New England Revolution last night, an outcome that was hard-fought and well deserved by the team.

Landon Donovan picked up both goals for the Galaxy, which were assisted by Peter Vagenas and Eddie Lewis, respectively.

“Everybody knows Landon is a great goal scorer,” David said to the press after the game. “It’s what he does. It’s what he’s done his whole career. It’s what he’ll carry on doing because he’s very talented. If you give him the ball in the right places, he’ll score 99 percent of the time. Tonight was a good night for him, because he had two chances and he put them both away.”

David also said he was really pleased with the team effort and that they are all looking forward to making a great play-off run!

Below is a video of some of the highlights from the game!

While David Beckham was disappointed with the level of play at the SuperClasico on Thursday, he came out fighting. David received a caution during the game for a reckless foul. He did make up for this indiscretion with an assist on the first goal to Chris Klein.

Below are some photos of David during the game and with the trophy. I know David wasn’t pleased–he felt they should have won 2-0 or 3-0–but it wasn’t a terrible outcome, considering it was the first game under the helm of Cobi Jones.

David Beckham and the Los Angeles Galaxy couldn’t pull it together and walked away losing 3-2 to the San Jose Earthquakes. The Earthquakes scored their final goal in the last two minutes of the game, creating an upsetting and unexpected loss.

“It was disappointing to lose right at the end,” David said to reporters after the match, “but I think that what we can take from this game is that it was 100 percent better than last game. We showed some character and we fought back.”

The Galaxy have now lost or tied seven games in a row. That must be frustrating.

The Galaxy goals were scored by Landon Donovan and Eddie Buddle. David assisted Landon’s goal. The video below shows some of the highlights from the game!
