The Six Million Dollar Man, David Beckham, headed north to Vancouver to play in an exhibition soccer game for the Vancouver Whitecaps. More than 41,000 tickets have been sold for the B.C. Place game with Beckham the center of attention for Wednesday’s game.
But Becks is never too busy to update his blog and let his fans know what he’s doing:
“Hi there,
Thanks to everybody for coming along to the charity game the between the Galaxy and Hollywood United on Sunday – a lot of money was raised to help those affected by the wildfires in California, a very worthy cause I’m sure you’ll agree.
LA Galaxy also have our first post season friendly against Vancouver Whitecaps on Thursday, followed by another game against Minnesota Thunder on Sunday, which is great for me because obviously I’ve missed some of the season, and I love playing soccer regardless of the occasion. It’s nice to be out on the pitch again, and with the England games coming up, getting into top condition is something I’m keen to achieve, so I shall be working hard.
Speaking of which, I had a chat with Steve McClaren over the weekend. We were discussing how things are coming along for me here in LA. It was good to catch up with him, and with the England matches coming up, its important that the coach knows I’m available and fit should he decide to pick me for the fixtures against Austria and Croatia.
Anyway that’s all for now
Take Care
David“
