Donovan issues ultimatum to Galaxy over Beckham

I'm glad someone finally had the "intestinal fortitude" to say it. Way to go, Lando!

No matter where you go you ALWAYS have to give ur absolute effort. Jsocontrer, you will learn that maybe later on in your live. Well done Lando, that worn out football player deserves it!

I agree with Landon 100% about Beckham, but I think he went about it the wrong way. You don't go putting that stuff in a book.

It should have been handled internally.

I have great respect for Donovan and I honestly don't understand what the deal was with Bayern and why he couldn't fit in. I think he is a great player and visionary, a true leader, always a step above the other Americans (but maybe that's not saying much). But I agree with NakedWake that the way he handled this was poor at best. Why would you write about that stuff in a book? Beckham is who he is. If you don't like him, you resolve it differently. You don't write books about it.

This is just an excuse for Landon to try to force himself out of Galaxy. We all know he tried to push for a move to Munich and prolong his stay in Germany the same time Beckham pushed for a permanent move to AC Milan. Munich didn;t want Donovan. Now he's making all these noise because of bitterness. I don't agree with Donovan. After all, Beckham travelled half-way around the world from international duty to play for the Galaxy only a few days later. He could've just said he was tired. Everyone knows Beckham is a professional on and off the pitch. This is one man's words against a few who have testified that Beckham is model professional. Sorry, Donovan, you lose.

Donovan showed poor judgement and a total lack of sensitivity, in saying what he said.

Like him or not, David Beckham has always been a true professional and Donovan should have tried to resolve his differences with Beckham behind closed doors.

I have to say that I agree with Tonto maybe the first time about something . He is just taking advantage of the situation and I wonder even if any American heard about him , he could make a book that he can sell worldwide and respect people's choices instead of acting so , completely unprofessional , he will regret his little book .

I thought Donovan was a pop singer from the sixties in England. That's how famous he is not.

It seems to me he is a jealous bastard, like a lot of people these days and he wants to be noticed.

This overhyped football freak called Beck sure has some diehard supporters. He should IMO quit active playing of the round leather and concentrate on his salesmaanship and physical outlook. The female lot will appreciate room for more speculations about him.

Donnovan is a closet gay who dreams of sucking on a long, lightskinned frankfurter it's as simple as that! When he sees the bold, beautifyl yet stylish Beckham he dreams of that fine meat within that he cannot have. Gays, all over the world for that matter, have a delectible penile envy; especially when this is interrupted by wild & torrid dreams of meaty sexcapades that shall never bare fruit. Its quite common for those in Donnovans shoes to feel the sudden urge for the hot-salami after a long & sweaty practice or game for that matter.

The best thing to do here is to start up a friendly conversation with Becks to feel him out as it were. Great friendships and bonds can be created in this manner that may very well lead to some hot trists down the road. If this approach fails, then Donnavan may be forced to take a brisk yet cool shower to tenderize him up a bit and let those emotions lock themselves up; tame the inner tiger as it were.

Whatever happens, though, YOU DECIDE!

oasisthunder,

Are you gay?

No doubt Beckham is a great champion and no doubt Donovan is using his name to sell books, but to all those Beckham lovers out there who seem to think that he transferred to Galaxy so he could be an ambassador to football, I say give me a break! Have you forgotten the fee that he transferred to

Galaxy for? Let me remind you friends. It was for 250 million that he would earn over five years. It's all about money folks. That is what pushes Beckham. That is why Donovan made those comments. And that is what will motivate every other footballer.

alboi, NOPE! But Donnovan is the way he acts.

Kaiser1974: well, that tells us a lot thanks.

Galaxy just got this Eskandarian player who scored last night and the Gals look to be back. Games on replay later, I did not watch how it played out. Rebroadcast on Fox Soccer around 1:00 EST.

Landon is really showing himself to be a great player. Donovan one of the top stars in the Confederation Cup, helped US get to quarterfinals in '02 World Cup. USA may have gone further, but the German player had a similar "hand" block on goal in that game as was in the Egypt/Brazil game.

People often belittle Beckham, that is Brain Glanville's forte at http://www.worldsoccer.com but I think Beckham proved his worth to AC Milan. If it is only an interview of Donovan, that is not a very big deal.

Jsocontrer, say what you want, I'd rather watch MLS than the spoiled playboy multimillionaires in Europe. You may well have a Mexican name to be saying this stuff too.

Donovan who?? Donovan McNab.
