A photo of a boot on football superstar David Beckham's right foot while out with his boys on November 17, 2009, sent a shockwave of surprise and disappointment through Los Angeles. Beckham looked noticeably distressed as he hobbled into an ice cream shop with his sons, favoring his injured limb. A timely and unreported injury to Beckham's kicking foot only days before his biggest match as a member of the Galaxy, who fight for the MLS Cup Sunday afternoon in Seattle, may squander LA's championship hopes against a beleaguered Salt Lake City squad.
After a rocky tenure with the team that include internal squabbles on the pitch and altercations with the local fan base, Beckham had made good recently with his relentless play and commitment to his team. While the extent of the injury is unknown, there is no doubt that Beckham’s injury will cast doubt on his team’s chances for victory and diminish the newfound support of the skeptical Los Angeles fans.
In related news, David Beckham is set to spend four days with the US army over Thanksgiving on November 26th. The soccer star - who has three sons with wife Victoria Beckham - and his Los Angeles Galaxy teammates are to undertake a morale-boosting visit to Kaiserslautern, South West Germany, to stay in US barracks from next Monday (23.11.09) to show support for soldiers in Afghanistan. During the visit, the sportsmen will visit troops and their families in their homes at the base, as well as meeting injured soldiers at the Landstuhl Regional Medical Centre.
