David Beckham Not Leaving L.A.
Mar. 17, 2008
David Beckham is not looking to quit LA Galaxy.
The former England captain has made his position crystal clear ahead of the start of the new MLS season, as he attempts to win a recall to the England squad and the chance to win his 100th cap for his country.
Speculation about his future has ben growing again in recent days, and the former Manchester United and Real Madrid midfielder was contacted by a concerned team-mate who feared that the 32-year-old star might be on his way out of LA after less than a season in California .
But Beckham has laughed off the speculation, declaring that he and his family are settled in Los Angeles and that he has no plans to leave Galaxy.
"One of the guys texted me from the team, saying 'apparently you're leaving and you're really not happy'," said Beckham on Sky Sports News.
"Nothing could be further from the truth. I've said from the moment I've arrived everything's been great and that everybody's treated us so well.
"Not just on the football side of things, but the family side. The children are happy in school and Victoria is happy living in LA.
"No, I'm not going anywhere."

The Galaxy opened their stadium, the Home Depot Center on June 7. But in order for their home to be ready, the team had to play a record 8 games to start the season and failed to win a game. In fact, the Galaxy finish the season without a win away from home the whole season. After the season's final game, the Galaxy had the final playoff spot in the West. In their aggregate series with the Earthquakes, they seemed well on to vindication for the MLS Cup loss 2 years earlier as they held 4 goals to 0 lead midway through the 2 nd game. A thing happened as the Earthquakes scored four unanswered goals to force a tiebreaker. In that session, the Earthquakes' Rodrigo Farina score to send the Quakes onto the next round.
In 2004 Looking to return to the top, the Galaxy would go through a mediocre 1 st half of the season before 3 straight wins over the summer. But from July 14 on, the Galaxy won only 2 more games, one in September and one in October. The Galaxy had a record of 11-9-10, good enough for 2nd in the West and the playoff, remaining the only club in MLS to have a playoff spot in every year of league in the playoffs, the Galaxy withstood an early challenge from the Rapids to win the aggregate goal series, 2-1, scoring 2 times in Game 2. In the conference final, the Galaxy's season would come to an end in Kansas with a 2-0 loss to Arnaud and the Wizards.
