What do You Think the New Galaxy Jersey will Look Like?

The LA Galaxy announced Friday that, in collaboration with adidas, they will debut a third jersey in July. The team will wear their new jersey for the first time on Monday, July 4 against Seattle Sounders FC at The Home Depot Center (the match kicks off at 7:30 p.m. and will be broadcasted on ESPN2, ESPN Deportes, and ESPN3.com).

The third jersey will be revealed three days prior to the game on July 1st. Fans will be able to begin pre-ordering the jersey exclusively online via www.teamlastore.com.

The official unveiling of the Galaxy’s third jersey will be held at an exclusive VIP event in downtown LA July 1st. This will be the first opportunity for fans to view the new jersey. Additional details will be released in the near future.

What do you all think the new third jersey will look like? Since they already have a white and a blue, maybe the new one will be gold/yellow to follow through with the team colors... that's my guess!

Rumor of the Day: David to Stay as Galaxy Coach After Contract Ends this Year

By Tom Hopkinson of The People

David Beckham will be offered the chance to stay on as a player-coach at Los Angeles Galaxy when his five-year deal expires in November.

Becks, 36, reaches the end of the huge contract he signed when he left Real Madrid for LA in 2007, at the end of the current MLS Season.

The Galaxy will offer Beckham the chance to play on for another term, while also taking more of a role in Bruce Arena’s backroom team.

And the new deal would allow Beckham to return to European football from January to April next year.

Beckham spent three months training with Tottenham last season and had spells at AC Milan in the previous two seasons.

Beckham and his advisors have had initial discussions over his future, but nothing has yet been finalised. As People Sport revealed back in 2009, Beckham has a clause in his MLS contract which lets him buy a franchise once he hangs up his boots.

And he and Simon Fuller – who looks after Beckham’s business affairs – are still keen for that to happen.

Becks is Disappointed with Scoreless Tie Last Night

Last night, the Los Angeles Galaxy took on DC United at the Home Depot center. The end result was a disappointing tied score of 0-0.

Even though David was appointed Captain in last night's match as Landon Donovan was away with USA duties, he still was extremely dissatisfied with the way the team played. "We have to forget this performance," Beckham said. “It was a disappointing performance, no matter who's not playing."

Head coach Bruce Arena wasn't thrilled either: "I think our performance tonight was totally poor," Galaxy coach Bruce Arena said, adding that Donovan's absence had "nothing to do with" the team’s poor display.

The Galaxy defense did its job once again though, posting the team’s fourth consecutive shutout and earning a point for the MLS leaders (8-2-6, 30 points).

"Shutting them out was probably the only positive tonight," midfielder David Beckham said.


LA Galaxy News and Notes:

- Arena said Angel picked up "a minor knock on Wednesday" and didn’t recover in time to play in the match but he will be ready for Saturday.

David Beckham to Wear Galaxy Captain Band Tomorrow

The LA Galaxy will host D.C. United tomorrow (Friday - June 3rd) and they will also honor local Southern California military men and women with 1,000 free tickets.

The Galaxy will once again be short-handed this season with Landon Donovan and Donovan Ricketts participating in the Gold Cup this weekend. With Landon Donovan out of the picture, the captain of the Galaxy will be David Beckham. With Ricketts also playing for the United States, the Galaxy will lean on Josh Saunders to pick up the slack between the sticks as the Galaxy goalkeeper.

This is the second meeting between the D.C. United and the Los Angeles Galaxy. The first match resulted in a tie when the two played in Washington D.C. With this match taking place at the Home Depot Center in Carson, the Galaxy will still have an edge despite missing two of their most important stars.

Juan Pablo Angel will have to step up in this match and give support to Beckham. Chad Barrett is another Los Angeles Galaxy scorer that will need to come to the fore front.

The Galaxy-United tilt is the featured MLS game of the week on the Fox Soccer Channel and the star of the show will undoubtedly be David Beckham. With Landon Donovan away at the Gold Cup, it is the perfect opportunity for the Galaxy to promote some of their other incredibly talented stars.

Victoria & the Boys Happily Watch David Score

David is Suspended from Tomorrow's Match

David Beckham's latest yellow card has resulted in an automatic one-game suspension for the Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder.

Beckham received the booking for a reckless tackle during the first half of Wednesday's scoreless draw against Toronto FC. It was his league-high fifth yellow card through six games.

Beckham must sit out Sunday's match against the Chicago Fire. Galaxy forward Juninho will also miss the game after earning a pair of yellow cards on Wednesday.

Beckham is playing in the fifth and final year of his original contract, but recently said he'd be open to returning to MLS after this season. He leads the team with three assists.

Beckham: We Deserved the Win Against United

The Galaxy vs United matched ended in a 1-1 draw but that didn't sit well with midfielder and captian-for-the-time-being David Beckham.

“Disappointed, disgusted,” Beckham said. “I felt we deserved the game. There’s no reason why we shouldn’t be walking away from this stadium tonight with three points.”

On the play that led to the penalty, United’s Branko Boskovic slipped a through ball to Davies, who found himself one on one with Galaxy defender Omar Gonzalez. Davies juked toward the endline, to which Gonzalez reacted by reaching out his arm. The United striker, upon feeling the slight contact, took a tumble.

Referee Abbey Okulaja pointed to the spot and United had the opportunity they’d hoped for.

It might have been a different situation if the Galaxy had been at full strength. Despite coach Bruce Arena’s midweek assessment that Donovan needed rest, it seems a knee injury kept Donovan from traveling with the team.

Still, the visitors did well to work together, to play as a unit and that play, Beckham said, should have been rewarded with more than just a point.

“I don’t think there’s much to improve on because I think that we played well,” Beckham said. “We passed the ball around well, we worked well, we defended well, so we just need to continue that. There’s not much that we need to work on, but we need to just work on obviously playing like that again and hopefully winning.”

Victoria Beckham Makes Sure the Boys Behave

Very rarely do you see the Beckham boys act out... kudos to Victoria & David's parenting skills! But this weekend at the LA Galaxy vs the Philadelphia Union game at the Home Depot Center, the boys looked like they were busy being boys... so Victoria made sure their play didn't escalate even further. Mommy Beckham even did something my own mother did (and still does) - point that finger to prove her point!

On a side note, she looked amazing in a black jacket and blush top. She's still super petite but the itty bit of pregnancy weight she's put on really makes a difference... she looks incredible!!

Recap: David Wears the Galaxy's Captain Band

David Beckham was asked to wear the captain's armband for the Los Angeles Galaxy for the first time in three years. Coach Bruce Arena decided that Beckham would be the captain for the team's game at Real Salt Lake because the regining captain, Landon Donovan, missed the match because he was with the U.S. national team for its exhibition against Argentina in East Rutherford, N.J. David took over as captain when he joined the team in 2007 but last captained the Galaxy on Oct. 26, 2008. "Yeah, Bruce has asked me to wear it, and I'll be proud to wear it," Beckham said. "It doesn't change the way I play. It's something you're very proud to wear, but you need more that that one leader on the field."

Unfortunately the LA Galaxy lost the match with a final score of 4-1.

Becks and his Boys

Most football fans are taught to pick a team at a young age and stick to it... for life. But David Beckham has lent his talents to several teams throughout the course of his career, and as a result, his sons seem to be having trouble deciding where their loyalties lie.

The football star enjoyed a boys day out with his young sonson March 4th with a kickabout after training with his team. Becks was head to toe in his LA Galaxy gear, but instead of supporting their father's latest team, his youngest sons opted instead for rival English club kits.

After playing on the field, David took the boys to Pinkberry for a frozen treat.

What's with the 'do David?

As much as I adore him, I sometimes have to wonder what the hell he is thinking when it comes to his hairstyles. Yes, I know he enjoys changing it up and setting new trends but this long style is not my favorite on him.

At the friendly between LA and Club Tijuana on March 3rd, he sported almost a comb-over type style that bounced as he ran. Did you guys love it or hate it?

FYI... the Galaxy lost the friendly 4-3.

Beckham to Return to the Galaxy Later this Month

Right now, David Beckham is overseas keeping up on his fitness by training with the Hotspurs but the LA midfielder is expected to be back at the Galaxy later this month.

When asked about being concerned with David's absence, Captain Landon Donovan had this to say: "I would normally say yeah, but every year we’ve spent significant time without David, whether it’s been injuries or he’s been away. This team knows how to gel quickly and David conversely does a good job of coming into the team. The expectation is to have him back relatively soon.”

Just when Beckham is supposed to return is unknown, even to Galaxy officials. “He'll be back this month, the exact date we haven't finalized but he'll be back in February,” said Galaxy coach Bruce Arena.

Beckham’s only full season thus far has been 2008, the only one of his four full campaigns where he did not seek out a loan. After spending the first half of 2009 and 2010 with AC Milan, Beckham unsuccessfully sought out a loan to Spurs this January.

While the deal never materialized, Donovan said he would not expect Beckham to return with any negativity. “He has never been that kind of guy who is going to moan. When he’s here, he wants to play, he wants to win. I’m sure the day he gets back here he’s going to be ready to go.”

Meanwhile, Arena said Beckham’s offseason needs were met even if he isn’t around to start the preseason with the Galaxy. “One thing he needed was, he needed a break. He worked real hard just to get back on the field last year coming off his Achilles injury. I think he needed some time away from the game. Then he also needed a slow buildup into the season and I think he's getting that.”

In related news, the Galaxy will be unveiling their regular season schedule for 2011 on February 10th.
