The council has agreed to partially fund a match between the Beckham-led LA Galaxy and Wellington Phoenix, owned by millionaire property developer Terry Serepisos, should negotiations for the Westpac Stadium-hosted match be successful.

It would cost more than $1.1 million to bring Beckham and his team to the city.

I am assuming that if this match does indeed take place the Australia tour will be extended to New Zealand.

Maybe they should just leave the rest of the Galaxy at home and have Beckham play by himself...?

Ahh maybe Simon Elliott will guest appear and slaughter our poor a$$.

Update:
The football superstar is due in the capital in December when his LA Galaxy team plays the Wellington Phoenix.

That's the truth. It's not even about the Galaxy. It's just about Beckham. Put Beckham on a team with a bunch of random people you pick off the street and nobody will even care. I'm not comparing the Galaxy to people off the street (even though it aint far off) It's just so obvious people only wanna see Beckham, not the real team.

Unheard of in any other league or organization. Just shows how greedy AEG is. If I were Beckham I'd find a way to void my contract.

Not really, Euro teams do exhibitions during the entire off season basically. Chelsea and Celtic did a tour of North America. Man Utd has been going to Asia the last few summers. Euro teams basically have 1 month of time off because then they start all their preseason exhibition games, then some meaningless cups, and before you know it, their leagues have started again.

Just ask Lalas....it's MLS' fault. Lalas and Co probably had nothing to do with it.

Do you watch for any other reason, besides him the team is a bunch of goof balls(maybe a couple of others are worth a hill of beans, i.e. Xavier)

As good as Beckham is, It's hard to watch this team, they stink. Without him, I'd check out until next season. Not really, it's like a car crash, you've got to see how bad it can get.
