David Beckham nearly fights opposing manager

LA Galaxy star David Beckham is one of the world’s most well known sports figures. Signing a reported $250 million for five years with the Galaxy back in 2007, Beckham makes headline even when he does something as small as putting a finger in another person’s face.

During Saturday night’s 2-1 Galaxy defeat of Real Salt Lake, Bechham got upset at Real opposing coach Jason Kreis for yelling at the ref about handing out six yellow cards. The two had to be separated after Beckham said something to Kreis over the shoulder. According to the Salt Lake Tribute Kreis later said that, “ Beckham thinks he’s the only one who can yell at referees.”

Kreis is probably right in this situation. Beckham doesn’t get to control who does and doesn’t get to yell at the ref. This has to be ruled in favor of the manager making $200k a season and not the bossy guy making $55m a year.

Props to Sportsgrid for the perfect pass.

  1. he did what you are subpost to do never let up, kept after, it . stir it up every chance you get. bet the next time that coach will not yell at the ref so much. soccer rules

  2. Why don't they just red card him and let him know he doesn't walk on water? What prima donna!!!

  3. in the end hes still just a sissy soccer player without the nuts to fight anyone. all for show.

    • Yep a sissy soccer player (football here in the UK) making more money in a minute than you make in a year.

      As if he cares what you think lol.

      • Soccer players are some of the most fit athletes in the world. Built for far more endurance than American Football players. Beckham would destroy you in a test of skill and strength.

    • lol…sheila…i bet you play rugby, don't you? and wth? throw a punch in any sport other than a combat sport you are dbag that doesn't derserve to be out there. these guys are professionals, not kids on the playground. people like you are why america is failing!

    • Sheila,

      I guess you've never played soccer, Lets see you run up and down a field for ninety minutes. It takes skill and strength to play the game. I have been around the sport for over thirty years, my kids all played. They had football players try to do what they do , they couldn't. They said it was hard. You need to talk about something you know about, if anything.

    • sheila, stick to turning tricks you dirty guttersnipe! I've played American Football, soccer, rugby and basketball and soccer is right up there in terms of physicality but requires more endurance.

  4. Maybe it's time for grant Wahl to write another expose'. Seems that Beck's "better than you" attitude has blended with the Galaxy's "back off, we're the LA Galaxy" to create a Bigger than MLS ego at the Tool Box — at least across the hall from the real team at HDC.

  5. Verify your info BEFORE publishing. His contract with the Galazy was for $32.5MM over 5 years ($6.5MM/yr).

    • Your mother has a peg leg and takes it in the back door. Like mother, like son.

      The only thing your crushing are cases of Twinkies lard arse.

      • Your name says everything we need to know about you lol. You are as bad as beckam…maybe you are beckam o.O …nope cant be you whine more than he does….want a tissue?

  6. Doesn't matter what any of you say he is the best looking bloke ever in footie sigh!!!!!!! He can have any attitude he likes the women of the world will love him anyways. mmmm

  7. 1) In America you call the sport played with the HANDS football

    2) In America it is believed that soccer is for girls, reason being girls here play it much better than the guys

    3) Soccer is not for Americans because you have to be a LEAN Machine to play it while in Football and Baseball you be a 350 pound plus dude play and oh by the way and drink alchool while playing (baseball) try doing that while playing soccer

    and just for the record Futbol (soccer) is a SPORT Baseball is nothing more than a game

    I rest my case

    • Glad you arses (asses)lost the revolutionary war but then again, it would be REAL sport to hunt fools like you down and put you out of your stuck up buggering misery.
