LA Galaxy star endures taxing interview with small red puppet

David Beckham has managed to find time away from his amateur football side in order to film an appearance on legendary children’s show Sesame Street:

“David has always been a huge fan of the show. When he was a kid he watched it and was more than happy to go on.”

In the segment, Becks talks with Elmo (who is, rather fittingly, the one with the babyish voice) about the word of the day: persistence. As a man who kept a family together despite philandering his way around Madrid like a Romantic poet conquered adversity by working his way back into the England squad, Beckham epitomises the word.

Mr B definitely won’t lose any cool points

But it’s amateur hour in California, says Ruud Gullit

In recent weeks, we’ve seen pictures of David Beckham’s Zangief-like beard and love of cheerleaders’ derrieres, but we’ve heard abolsutely nothing about action on the pitch. FYI, the LA Galaxy are still in business, they are currently second in the Western Conference thingy, and Mr B is the club’s third top scorer with, er, one goal in five games.

It all seems pretty unspectacular out in California at the moment, and no one is less impressed than coach Ruud Gullit, who has been caught out by the LA Times telling the British Press about the two-bit operation he is in charge of:

“I’m sure that when people think of the Galaxy the picture that comes to mind is not of our staff making phone calls to friends on Friday to see if they can play in a reserve game on Sunday,” Gullit told writer Brian Doogan. “But, strange as it may seem, this is the reality.”

The Galaxy did not have enough players

With Beckham jogging slowly towards retirement, and Freddie Ljungberg no longer quite so fiercely dressed at the weekends, everyone has been going absolutely bananas with worry - where are we going to get our fashion tips from? Damn it, it’s nearly Spring/Summer!

Well, the worry is over people, because Mr Fashion for the next generation of footballers has just stepped up to the plate - Micah Richards. Yeah, that’s him doing his jacket all the way up, and no your eyes aren’t deceiving you, he has a zip and a pocket on those there jeans.

Welcome to our lives, Micah. Now say “Cheese”!

(oh, apparently saying “Cheese” is no longer cool either)

Either that, or the LA Galaxy star isn’t paying enough attention

In a blog post on his official site dated Tuesday April 22, ie yesterday, David Beckham sends his regards to old club:

Good luck to Manchester United, who play Barcelona in the champions league semi-final tonight

Tsk tsk, Mr B. The game is actually tonight. Getting a bit confsed out there in La-La Land, are we?
