LA Galaxy vs Chivas USA – Beckham starts fight

Aug 24, 2007

A capacity crowd came to see David Beckham play soccer and a fight broke out.

The English superstar, just off a flight from London earlier in the day, got feisty after being tackled from behind by Jesse Marsch of Chivas USA in the Los Angeles Galaxy’s 3-0 loss Thursday night.

Beckham played the entire 90 minutes for the third time in six days, and was limping slightly near the end of the game in which he served as captain for the third consecutive match.

    Beckham didnt start the fight, the Chivas player kicked him in the rib! In fact, Beckham stood the high ground and didn’t punch him, which was would be well deserved after that flagrant foul..

    Ummmmm…”tackled” from behind…more like “blatantly fouled” from behind. At least tell it like it happened!

    Beckham didn’t start the fight. Sensationalist headlines at their best.

    Even the announcers have it right. STFU

    Beckham didn’t start the fight at all the guy who tackled him started it when he preformed a illegal tackle, this isn’t American football, here in England he’d get banned for a month for such a blatant tackle

    It makes me laugh, all that money to play what amounts to kiddy football. When are the dumb ass yanks gonna wake up & realise the Real Madrid have sold them a pup?

    I don’t blame Beckham for getting mad after that kick. The head butt on the other player was effed up too.
