Still in Los Angeles - or more specifically in Carson, a suburb of that fair city which takes an eternity to get to, along a stretch of freeway which Lost In Showbiz will be happy never to see again - it is time to catch up with David Beckham's move to soccerball.
How's his off-fense going, charm and otherwise? Well, students of telling scorelines will be amused to learn the Galaxy beat FC Dallas 6-5 last night, but there are suggestions that the fans are beginning to tire of David's failure to make a single appearance since his cameo debut, on account of his ankle's still being utterly knackered.
According to the New York Times, some supporters are even doubting he'll ever precision-target a corner kick to some donkey who couldn't hit the net with a clusterbomb - or "striker", as Galaxy coaching staff would have it - and to this end, several positioned themselves behind the goal last night with a banner reading: "Bench It Like Beckham".
What can one say? Other than: MAN, do these soccerball fans have no heritage or what? This isn't the remedial class anymore, kids! Get some frickin' effigies up! It's the only language he understands.
