By: Laurie | 1 Comment
Speak of the devil, here we have the man himself chatting about his new Brazilian Beckham Academy, that 100th cap and the England team.
Oh, and he plays keepy-up in the surf with shorts so baggy we can see his Armanis.

First, about that Beckham photo yesterday. I tried to add text, but Wordpress kept refusing to post readable text and the photo. The photo was more important. The story, though? Becks was in Sierra Leone for Unicef. (Is he done with Arsenal now? I kind of lost track. [...]

By: Laurie | 8 Comments
I’m imagining that the marketing meeting went something like this:
Guy 1: We need to create more Galaxy fans!! We need…we need…people.
Guy 2: Hmm. People. Where are we going to find those?
