Beckham confronts Galaxy fans - Press Association

Excerpt:

A hardcore section of the crowd booed Beckham every time he touched the ball and held aloft signs reading "Go Home Fraud" and "23: Repent" in reference to his shirt number.

Another read: "Hey Becks, Here Before You, Here after You, Here Despite You" while one stated: "Is evil something u are...or something u do?"

    Well, he should go back to a place were people like the game. In America if you don't win people don't like you. It's wrong but it's how it is. Maybe going back to England would be a good thing for everyone.

      have some of the smallest minds around. Don't bother debating me on it because you're way out of your depth :) They don't barrack a sport they barrack a T shirt and if you happen to be wearing a slightly different T shirt they'll spit at you in the street.

      I saw this in todays paper and it did bring a little smile to my face, although calling our goldenballs evil for wanting to make sure he represents his country in next years world cup is a little harsh! What next ? Hang the DB ?

      I'm pretty sure the phrase, "Is evil something you are, or something you do?" also appears in American Psycho by Bret Easton-Ellis. Perhaps these people were actually Bret Easton-Ellis fans.

      to be fair, football isn't as notorious in the US
      their main sports are probbably basketball, baseball and american football
      and golf actually, but football over there isn't a great standard lets face it
