Right after training ends at Tucson Centre, LA Galaxy’s Juninho returned back to his hotel room and took some time off to answer questions from fans. At the Official LA Galaxy website, the LIVE Webchat came on right at 7pm, PST. Lots of questions were brought out by fans, and Juninho was kind and patient enough to answer the questions one by one, with the help of a translator.

BeckhamGalaxy will post the Top 5 Questions, which were the very ones posted by fans.

Question from LA Galaxy Fan, Sean V

“What are your thoughts on potentially lining up this season with Sarvas in the midfield?”

Juninho, the Samba 

“It’s great because he’s Brazilian and there will be great communication between us. I think he was a great signing by the Galaxy because he’s a very strong player. With him, we’ll be strong again this year and positioned to win “

Question from LA Galaxy Fan, Victoria

“What is different about training with The Galaxy opposed to your club in Brazil?”

Juninho, the Samba

“It’s very different. Over there they train in the mornings and in the evenings and here Galaxy train just one time per day but it’s very rigorous.”

Question from LA Galaxy Fan, Phillip

“Juninho, are you going to miss having Chris Birchall with you in the midfield? Also how does it feel to have David Beckham back for another 2 seasons?”

Juninho, the Samba

“For Birchall, I’m very sad. We’re a family here and for him not to return is a loss, like Donovan Ricketts too. David is a great person and a great player. It’s great to have him back for two more years because he’s a great example for the younger players and he’s a great professional”

 

Question from LA Galaxy Fan, Cristo Kontoyan

“How will the team have to change the way they perform with the absence of Omar Gonzalez?”

Juninho, the Samba

“It’s going to be very tough because Omar is a great player and he’s been here a long time so we’ve gotten used to playing with him on our side, but I think that the young players have a chance to support the team.”  

Question from LA Galaxy Fan, E. Gonzalez 4

“What are your goals for the 2012 season?”

Juninho, the Samba

 ”I want to continue what I’ve done the past two years, to score goals and to help the team compete in the tournaments this year.”

A few weeks ago, I received an email request (from one of the marketing companies for H&M, I believe) for the BeckhamGalaxy website to feature David Beckham in his underwear. And I thought to myself, why not? This is the HOTTEST underwear advertisement to be shown LIVE on SUPERBOWL…… David Beckham and H&M presents (*DRUMROLL*)………….

Listen to what David Beckham has to say as to whether he has to add padding in the front.

“I’ve never, ever done a James and padded out my pants, or shoved socks down there though.

‘I’ve never had to for any of the photoshoots I’ve done because, hopefully, I don’t need to. Well, let’s just say I’ve been told I don’t need any help in that department. I think I’m pretty OK!”

CNN Roland Martin became the first person in the world, I believe, to be fired over Tweets directed towards David Beckham’s advertisement.

 “Ain’t no real bruhs going to H&M to buy some H&M underwear!”

“I have an exciting new campaign from H&M that I thought you would enjoy sharing with your readers. David Beckham is debuting his Bodywear collection for H&M, a men’s undergarment line fashioned on his own wardrobe. Lined with comfortable elastic, a label that does not scratch, and seams that do not rub against the body, the collection is focused on providing maximum comfort and will be sold exclusively at H&M nationwide.”

I was about to add on to the above statement, how about offering a discount online for BeckhamGalaxy readers, when they purchase the David Beckham’s Underwear Collection at H&M outlets?

The Two-Way Midfielders of LA Galaxy

LA Galaxy has no shortages in the center of midfield, with so many able bodies

capable of playing the ball in central midfield. The above diagram explained

perfectly what defines a two-way midfielder. A two-way midfielder is …….

“A versatile midfielder who is responsible for organizing play in midfield area.

He is often regarded as the team’s energetic leader.”

 

Besides Beckham, I will roll out the names of the rest of LA Galaxy’s Two-Way

Midfielders:

Michael Stephens, Samba Juninho (YES, HE’S BACK!!!), Kenney Walker,

Kyle Beckerman, Fellow Samba Marcelo Sarvas and Dan Keat.

Wealth in Central Midfield, Poverty in The Wings

With a wealth of two-way midfielders at Bruce Arena’s disposal, the rest of the MLS

teams are definitely envious of the depth in LA Galaxy. There is plenty of options

for Bruce Arena to consider, but he will need to choose the best men to line up before

the start of the whistle.

Bruce Arena on being over-loaded with two-way midfielders

“With the CONCACAF Champions League and Sarvas cup-tied, it’s important

to have Juninho here,” Arena said. “Beckham and possibly Stephens could

be gone to the Olympics, we need that position to be a position with depth and

quality and I think we have that now.”

 

Bruce Arena has a selection headache, and it is a good problem that most MLS managers

will rather have. It is a pity that Chris Birchall has decided to find a career in England

and has ruled out any chances of a return. In Birchall’s absence, Michael Stephens and

New Zealander Dan Keat looks set to step up to become able back-ups. Kyle Nakazawa

also has much to offer with his MLS playing experience, having played regularly for

Philadelphia Union in spite of his youth. Samba compatriots, Marcelos Sarvas and

Juninho, are among the front-runners to partner Beckham regularly in the center of

midfield.

In the event of losing Stephens and Beckham to the 2012 Olympics and Sarvas being

cup-tied, Kyle Nakazawa and Juninho will most likely be pairing up to hold the fort

in midfield. Rafael Garcia and Defensive player Kenney Walker are waiting in the

wings, but the MLS Draftees will need to first prove that they are worthy enough to

be included into the final team roster.

Argentinian Winger Miguel Lopez won’t be back at LA Galaxy, as he would be

returning back to Argentinian side Quilmes. Home-Grown player Jose Villareal is

out injured, with only Paolo Cardozo, Mike Magee and Landon Donovan the only

players who can play on the wing. Without wingers to run with the ball down the

channels, LA Galaxy will be playing with litlte width and will be making most of

the plays down the middle. This makes the playbook of LA Galaxy very predictable.

In fact, it falls flat and is dangerously one-dimensional. If the need arises, Beckham

may be called upon to play on the right side, where he has been dishing out

dangerous crosses for his teammates to score from his assists.

Midfielders who can play in Multiple Positions

Bruce Arena may look to convert some of the midfielders into wingers, and to

include a training session for them to learn a new position. Bruce has been

known to deploy Birchall on the wings, even though his favored position is

in the center. Rafael Garcia, Kenney Walker and Dan Keat may be receiving

instructions to act as cover for the wings. Younger players are more “malleable”

in learning a new position as they also tend to pick up faster as well. One example

is Brek Shea of FC Dallas, who was converted from a defender into an explosive

and very effective winger.

Another way is to deploy a 4-3-3 formation instead of Bruce’s favored 4-4-2

formation. In the 4-3-3 position, with Juninho making defensive covers, Beckham

can then move to the right-side where he can often accurately cross or send long

-range passes cross-field. Marcelo Sarvas can be given a free role where he can

receive passes on the left wing and also to cut into the middle to shoot on goal or to

make a final pass.

With converted midfielders, LA Galaxy will not have to worry about shortages of

players on the wings. Playing with width and deploying wingers will be

advantageous to LA Galaxy, and also increase the chances of delivering accurate

crosses to Newly-Acquired Edson Buddle. In the recent Preseason Game versus

LA Blues, Paolo Cardozo has been effective on the wings and linked up well with

Adam Cristman. Cristman, who had not been clinical to a fault, was set up by

Cardozo to surprising finish with two goals in that friendly.

Depth in LA Galaxy Required for Hectic Schedule

LA Galaxy is overloaded with two-way midfielders, and the lack of wingers  can

be rather worrying. This will further restrict LA Galaxy to play the ball through

the middle and attempt through balls. The Defence of LA Galaxy has not played

convincingly in the absence of injured Omar Gonzalez, letting in six goals in the

last two Pre-Season Friendlies. In contrast, the LA Galaxy Defence led by Omar

Gonzalez has kept 41 clean sheets over three seasons.

Edson Buddle is Back. Juninho is Back, along with Leonardo returning

without LA Galaxy paying a single cent. There is reunion of familiar faces,

with LA Galaxy looking to keep as many of the old players playing together

as possible.

If LA Galaxy continues to let in goals at an alarming rate, one can look no

further than to ensure that the strike force of Edson Buddle and Robbie Keane

will be much, much more productive on the other end. I don’t mind if that

means more goals scored, as long as LA Galaxy is the one who is scoring more

goals and winning games.

BeckhamGalaxy Scouts out Toronto FC

Earlier, BeckhamGalaxy scouts came back with reports of a Shortlist of

players for LA Galaxy’s drafting considerations. Two of the players,

Luis Silva and Aaron Maund both landed at Toronto FC. It is possible that

these two Draft picks may be given the Coach’s confidence and thrown

into the gauntlet to test their skills against LA Galaxy. Luis Silva, for one,

is a skilful winger who can really make dangerous runs with the ball.

Click here to view BeckhamGalaxy’s Scouting Report for 2012 MLS SuperDraft.

Veterans of Toronto will need to be kept an eye on. Torsten Frings of Germany,

Joao Plata of Ecuador and Canada’s very own son, Julian De Guzman are some

of the key players that LA Galaxy have to watch out for. Former LA Galaxy

defender Ty Harden will be seeing familiar faces of former colleagues on the pitch,

with so much at stake in a CCL match (Mark My Words), the friendship ends with

the blow of the whistle.

Canadian Sharpshooters

Well, they are not exactly Canadians, but I guess you have to give them credit

for their knack of scoring goals under cold weather conditions.

Toronto Top Scorers’ Chart for 2011

Danny Koevermans          8 goals

Maicon Santos          6 goals

Alan Gordan          4 goals

Nick Soolsma      3 goals

Joao Plata          3 goals

Forward Maicon Santos and Alan Gordan have left Toronto FC. Julian De Guzman

earns a worthy mention, grabbing 2 goals for Toronto FC, which is not far from the

top 5 on the Scoring Charts. Dutchman Danny Koevermans not only leads the goal

scoring charts, but he also leads goal-shots percentages of 26.7% last season. Nearing

that is Alan Gordan (22.2%) and Dwayne De Rosario (16.7%). We have much to thank

for with Alan Gordan Dwayne De Rosario being former Toronto FC players.

Without Omar Gonzalez, who's marking Danny Koeversmans?

Hard Tackling Torsten and Ty

David Beckham and Marcelos Sarvas may find difficulty in finding space with Torsten

Frings looking to dominate in midfield.

Ty Harden will also look to make life difficult for Robbie Keane and any LA Galaxy

forwards.Ty Harden’s height of 6’1″ provides an advantage for Harden to knock

down and intercept any high balls to the penalty box. The chink in Ty Harden’s

defence is that the acceleration and pace of Robbie Keane will leave Harden standing.

The matchup of Robbie Keane versus Ty Harden should be interesting for fans to

anticipate.

Stefan Frei is definitely getting pumped for a clean sheet. A 0-0 goal-less draw

at home is advantageous to Toronto FC as they play in the return leg with

just a goal scored in a 1-0 win more than enough to see them through. LA Galaxy

have to solve their inconsistent scoring problem, or they will suffer. Goals past

Swiss Frei will make it comfortable for the LA Galaxy and settle the score,

before bringing the tie back home to Home Depot Center.

Just like the picture above, Torsten Frings will grab every opportunity to stamp

his authority in the middle of the park. Beckham and LA Galaxy will have to

watch out. LA Galaxy will underestimate Toronto FC at their own peril.

Toronto FC. They are going to prove that they are no pushovers to LA Galaxy.

David Beckham, to re-sign or resign? That was the question that came popping up

when Beckham became a free agent on New Year’s Day after the end of his LA Galaxy

contract.

Insider sources pointed out that David Beckham will officially sign a new contract

with LA Galaxy this week, and it has been officially reported that David Beckham

will extend his stay with LA Galaxy for another two years.

On LA Galaxy’s Official Website,

“This was an important decision for me,” Galaxy midfielder David Beckham

said. “I had many offers from clubs from around the world, however, I’m

still passionate about playing in America and winning trophies with the

Galaxy.”

 

David Beckham and LA Galaxy will be holding a live press conference on 19 Jan,

2 pm PT. Not to forget about David Beckham’s Google+ Hangout at 10.30am PT.

LA Galaxy’s strongest competitor for Beckham’s signature is Paris St. Germain, the

French Lique 1 club that has a huge financial backing of Qatar oil barrels. PSG put

on the table an offer of 12 million Euros, which is more than double Beckham’s

MLS Annual Salary. Many had felt that the offer was too good to resist, with PSG

offering the prospects of European football and Champions League.

(That is, if PSG was to finish within top two.)

French Newspaper like the L’Quipe splashed headlines that Beckham has signed the

pre-contract agreement, only to be “caught with their skirt down” when the spokesman

for Beckham denied any agreement on Beckham’s part. BeckhamGalaxy came up with

with early reports of the “Beckham Deal”,

BeckhamGalaxy Scouts out LA Galaxy’s Beckham Deal

It wasn’t a done deal then, until now.

How important is family to Beckham?

Very important. It was important enough to give up millions to sign a lucrative

contract and retire with the money in the pocket. Family, was by far the first

and foremost priority in Beckham’s mind in consideration for signing a new

contract.

David has four children with Victoria, three sons, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and

one daughter, Harper. All three sons have been schooling in LA for some time

and his children’s education is very important to him. He took a flight with his

three sons back to LA to make sure that they will be ready when school reopens,

while Victoria and Harper stayed back in England.

A family man. It describes David Beckham perfectly.

What’s coming up in the next two years?

David Beckham will continue to take up being the ambassador for the MLS, to

bring popularity to the league and also to continue to reach out to new fans,

domestically and internationally.

 “I’ve seen first hand how popular soccer is now in the States and I’m as

committed as ever to growing the game here,” he (Beckham) added. “My

family and I are incredibly happy and settled in America and we look

forward to spending many more years here.”

 

I think the role of “Ambassador of US Soccer” fits Beckham very well. I won’t be looking

too far ahead, there is the pre-season games and the CCL match that is coming up

against Toronto FC. It is a morale boost for the team and fans alike with Beckham to

count on as one of the key players to influence the game, especially with

Omar Gonzalez Out with ACL Injury. (And Juninho. And maybe Leonardo……..)

There is no denying the fact that England is where Beckham first calls Home.

LA is Beckham’s Second Home.

LA Galaxy fans welcomes David Beckham back with open arms.

And yes, thank you very much, David Beckham. My New Year Wish came true =)

Throughout his illustrious career, David Beckham has received red cards during

matches on a number of occasions. His latest red card was in LA Galaxy’s match

against Seattle Sounders in 2009, his ejection from the pitch occurred on the

18th min for his aggressive tackle on Peter Vagenas.

It turned out to be Beckham’s first red card of his MLS career, in LA Galaxy’s shirt.

Speaking about the red card after the game,

“Pete’s one of best friends,” Beckham said. “I’ve never gone into a tackle wanting to

hurt someone. It was a hard tackle but by no means a red card.”

During his time for Real Madrid, Beckham was on the receiving end of a red card

in La Liga matches on 4 occasions from the 2002/2003 to 2006/2007 season.

The Infamous World Cup Red Card

During the 1998 World Cup Second Round of 16 match, Argentina’s Diego Simeone

had fouled Beckham, and Beckham did no means to conceal his intention of lashing

an impulsive kick in response to Simeone’s foul. For that, Beckham received the

marching orders and England was reduced to 10 men, eventually losing out to

Argentina in a penalty shootout.

As a result of England’s World Cup exit, Beckham became the scapegoat, targeted by

the English media and public. Tabloid newspaper Mirror even published a page of

David Beckham with a dartboard target for “fans to vent their anger”. Some fans went

on the extreme of hanging an effigy with Beckham England Jersey outside his home.

David Beckham, England's Most Hated Man (Daily Mail)

Beckham refused to allow the public furious ire affect him and he continued to

put in sterling performances for Manchester United and England. Here are some

rave comments of famous club managers whom Beckham had played for in his

career.

Alex Ferguson on Beckham’s Deadly Freekicks

“……(Beckham) practiced with a discipline to achieve an accuracy that other players

wouldn’t care about.”

Fabio Capello, then manager of Real Madrid, has praised Beckham for “maintaining his

professionalism and commitment to the club.”

The Magical Greece Moment

The event that turned Beckham from England’s “Most-Hated Man” to “Celebrated Hero”

was the GREECE MOMENT. Find out more about the  magical moment by watching

this video link, put up at Beckham Galaxy. Well, BeckhamGalaxy hopes that Beckham

will continue strutting his legendary stuff by signing a new contract extension with

LA Galaxy. The fans of LA Galaxy awaits =)

BeckhamGalaxy takes an assessment of LA Galaxy‘s Off-season

transaction and posts up a possible line-up.

Earlier,

BeckhamGalaxy highlighted a possible Transfer Coup for

Ronaldinho and we have taken this into consideration.

Formation for LA Galaxy in MLS Season 2012:

4-2-3-1

R. Keane

M. Magee          Ronaldinho         L. Donovan

M. Sarvas           D. Beckham

T. Dunivant    O. Gonzalez     S. Franklin     A.J DeLaGarza

J. Saunders

Substitutes:

N. Noble (GK), P. Noonan (FW), C. Barrett (FW), P. Cardozo (MF),

C. Birchall (MF), F. Hejduk (DF), D. Leonardo (DF)

But of course, the above is just a LA Galaxy Fantasy Line-Up. There is

a still a possibility of a Fourth Designated Player to be included into the

LA Galaxy team roster.

Frank Lampard, Chelsea midfielder, has been linked with a possible move

to LA Galaxy. David Beckham, long-time England team-mate with Frank

Lampard, has reportedly been discussing with a possible move to LA Galaxy

in a move to further booster the star status of the American club.

BeckhamGalaxy has another look at LA Galaxy’s line-up with Frank Lampard

in it, with the formation 4-3-3.

R. Keane

Ronaldinho       L. Donovan

M. Sarvas       D. Beckham        F. Lampard

T. Dunivant   O. Gonzalez    S. Franklin    A.J DeLaGarza

J. Saunders

M. Sarvas  is more of a attacking midfielder who likes to make forward runs.

Lampard is also more suitable to feature on the right-side with more space

for him to make runs to the box. He is also a midfielder who can score lots of goals

and he can work with Beckham, who will operate much more defensively as a

holding midfielder.

Fans are already drooling with the possibility and Frank Lampard and Ronaldinho

offers a lot of exciting opportunities and prospects to the LA Galaxy line-up.

Check in on Angel City Brigade’s forum and you will find a lot of rave reviews

of the inclusion of Ronaldinho and Lampard. The fans of LA Galaxy are loving it.

Factors weighing in Lampard Move?

Frank Lampard Looking to LA Galaxy?

Villas-Boas and Lampard Row

Chelsea manager André Villas-Boas and Frank Lampard are not in speaking terms,

according to the player’s own admission. In most cases of manager-player row,

it often ends with either the player or the manager leaving the club. Lampard

has often been warming the bench for Chelsea, even though he has saved the

club a few brushes from embarrassment with his second-half goals off the bench.

Villas-Boas has yet to explain why Frank Lampard is being benched, in spite of

him being one of the more consistent players for Chelsea.

The England Contingent at LA Galaxy

Besides the superstar David Beckham being English, there are other English

players like Chris Birchall, who plays for Trinidad and Tobago. If Frank joins

LA Galaxy, he will feel very much at home. The only difference is simply getting

used to the American English.

The Adoration of LA Galaxy fans

The fans are already loving the possibility of Frank Lampard in the squad. This

spells well in Frank Lampard’s transfer to LA Galaxy, with match attendance at

Home Depot Center set to increase with the increase of star players in the squad.

Frank Lampard turns 32 this year in 2012, however, like Beckham, he still has

much to offer and is very much near to the peak of his career. Check out his

goals for Chelsea.

Possibility of Move: 5/10

Lampard has reiterated his love for the club, Chelsea and the 11 years he has spent

there since he first joined from West Ham United as a young and raw player. It is

at Chelsea that his talent as a prolific scoring midfielder is unearthed and former

Chelsea colleague, Michael Ballack has rated Lampard as “one of the best players

in the world”.

BeckhamGalaxy gives the move a thumbs-up and will gladly welcome Frank Lampard

to embark on the MLS adventure and help LA Galaxy cement its place “among the stars”.

And indeed, why not?

It is now revealed that David Beckham has rejected signing the contract

with PSG, the Parisian club that has been courting for his signature feverishly

for the past few months. BeckhamGalaxy has long projected that Beckham will

be staying with LA Galaxy, click here to view the factors of Beckham’s Decision.

Beckham, as of 01 Janaury 2012, is now considered a free agent, with

LA Galaxy being tipped in the foremost seat to sign with him. This is definitely

great news for LA Galaxy club and fans alike. Juninho has left for Sao Paulo,

at least the LA Galaxy midfield that has aided the club to go on the winning

conquest to the MLS Cup last season, will have Beckham in it.

Have a closer look at BeckhamGalaxy’s Beckham-Sarvas Partnership.

It is not a done deal yet

According to some reports from the media, Beckham is tipped to sign a

two-year contract deal with LA Galaxy. It is not certain yet but Galaxy

president Leiweke has been on the phone with the Beckham’s representative

all day.

The City Hall Parade in Paris has been scheduled, should David Beckham decide

to become a PSG player. French newspapers blasted the headlines that Beckham

has said “Yes” to the deal with PSG, but the spokesperson for Beckham has strongly

denied any form of agreement with PSG.

The French papers called the Beckham deal to be 95 percent done. It looks like

they didn’t anticipate the 5 percent, which is equally important.

As of now, David Beckham, his wife Victoria and their four children had spent

the Christmas and New Year in London. There is no doubt that Beckham will be

considering the offer put up by LA Galaxy and Beckham has weighed in his family

behind his signature on any contract offer. The good news to LA Galaxy is that

Victoria and the four Beckham children are well-settled in LA and Beckham has

decided not to uproot the family from the place where they have spent 5 years

together as a family.

According to Leiweke, there are other clubs that are also pursuing for Beckham’s

signature.

BeckhamGalaxy is suspecting that the clubs to be Tottenham Hotspurs and

Queen Park Rangers. The Chinese premier club Shanghai Shenhua could be

eyeing on the star power of David Beckham, and his appeal to the 1 billion fans

in China.

Factors favoring LA Galaxy as favorites

1. LA Galaxy will release Beckham for British Olympics

Another factor that will tip in LA Galaxy’s favor is that LA Galaxy has declared that

they will definitely release Beckham for the British Olympic games and to allow him

to play for the Great Britain football team. LA Galaxy coach Bruce Arena has given

“Thumbs Up”.

2. Beckham still has a role to play in America

Beckham has definitely brought up the star power of soccer in America. It may not

be as big as the sports powerhouses of Basketball and American Football, but it

is slowly and surely gaining more soccer fans. It helps that LA Galaxy is in the land

of Hollywood, and complements with the star power of David Beckham. After Beckham,

star players like Thierry Henry has followed suit to add to the glitz and glamor of soccer

sports in America.

3. Beckham and his family in LA

David and Victoria, with their four children are very much settled in LA and it will

take much more to uproot the entire family from LA. That is the important 5 percent

that PSG did not factor in. Add in the Beckham couple’s close friends like Tom Cruise

and his wife, Katie Holmes, the Beckham family are very much settled in LA and

America. Victoria can continue to work her fashion label in LA, and she can work closely

with the many Hollywood stars who are donning her dresses.

Beckham with Three Stars

It is no longer a speculation. It is more of  a question of “When” Beckham will ink the deal

with LA Galaxy. And BeckhamGalaxy is standing behind AEG President, Tim Leiweke’s

words,

“I’ll repeat what I said in November:

May I present the famous Sambal (buck-toothed) footballer,

Ronaldo de Assis Moreira, aka Ronaldinho.

If you have any doubts on Ronaldinho’s skills and technique as a footballer,

check this video out.

For most professsional footballers, the test of long-shot accuracy

is to aim for the cross-bar of the goal post. If your jaw did not drop

after watching this, then just to let you know, mine did.   :0

Ronaldinho warms up with juggling the ball, followed by the volley

with the aim of the cross-bar. That was almost the ULTIMATE display

of ball control and technique.

How does this measure up with other players on the professional stage.

Compare with the following video. They are also David Beckham’s

former colleagues by the way.

I am not going to mention the names of the club and players in the video, cos

every football fan should know. And I will like to stress that this is no comparison

between players or clubs. I am just trying to show the difficulty of long-shot

accuracy. Any team with Ronaldinho in it can be assured of a DEADLY

dead-ball specialist. And of course, none of the players in the above video are

known for their dead-ball skills but they are well-known for other roles they

play on the pitch for their club. (Please, no hating =)

Ronaldinho has something that excludes him from most footballers, and that

is CREATIVITY.

Ronaldinho is able to see in his mind all the plays to set up for the offense. And

that is what makes him a great asset for the team. He is a great playmaker,

and he will figure nicely on the left side of midfield for LA Galaxy. That is his

most favored role,  and he is also able to operate as an attacking midfielder.

Though he has often drifted from the left to cut in quickly to the middle and

make “runs” with the ball. His final passes are amazing, and he also symbolizes

what Sambal football means.

Of course the scandals have also plagued Ronaldinho off the pitch. Ronaldinho has

in the past, known to be a “party-animal” and often frequents with clubs and drinking.

If recent behavior and performances have to say, Ronaldinho has put his scandals

behind him and has put in effort on the pitch where it matters. After missing the World

Cup 2010 and being left out of the national side, Ronaldinho was called up for recent

Brazilian friendlies versus Ghana and Argentina this year.

At the age of 31, Ronaldinho is not yet past his prime and has plenty to offer on the table.

It is also great for the MLS, given Ronaldinho’s worldwide status as a footballer.

Ronaldinho offers the entertainment on the pitch with his attacking edge and glitzy

skills and will most likely draw more fans and crowds to watch soccer matches. This

sounds great commercially for LA Galaxy and MLS. Ronaldinho should be keen in joining

LA Galaxy, as being a designated player, LA Galaxy is able to keep him on their wage

payroll. Recent news reported that Ronaldinho has been owed months of wages at his

current club, Flamengo.

Ronaldinho for LA Galaxy?

But of course, Ronaldinho is not a direct replacement for David Beckham and Juninho,

since he is not effective enough to be assigned any defensive duties. Next up, Beckham

Galaxy presents the solution with Ronaldinho in mind. Of course, it will be great if LA

Galaxy is able to sign Ronaldinho in a bid to persuade Beckham to stay and help LA

Galaxy reach greater heights as a MLS club in America and Worldwide.

That is my wishful thinking on my part. But hey, who says the dreams don’t come true?

Only at BeckhamGalaxy =)

There was a flurry of player-transfer activities going on and BeckhamGalaxy

is diving in to bring the latest on LA Galaxy’s Player Transfer.

First up, I am sad to see Juninho leaving LA Galaxy, leaving a void in central

midfield. Juninho has been loaned by Brazilian club Sao Paulo to LA Galaxy

for the past two seasons and he has been turning out regularly for the first

team. His defensive midfield display has allowed David Beckham and Landon

Donovan to focus on making offensive plays for Galaxy. LA Galaxy fans will

remember Juninho for his wonderful Long-Range Bombs.

Juninho, the Midfield General

Juninho was the protege of David Beckham and his midfield

partnership with Beckham has worked wonders for Galaxy this season.

Judging from the latest tweets, even the LA Galaxy players were reluctant

to see Juninho leave the club.

Sean Franklin’s Twitter: sfranklin5             Juninho’s Twitter: Juninho19LA

sfranklin5: What’s up brooooo!

Juninho19LA: What’s up dude …

sfranklin5: Hope everything is going well in brazil bro

Juninho has officially signed a 3-year deal with Sao Paulo and we, at

BeckhamGalaxy wish Juninho all the best in his future playing endeavors

at Sao Paulo. In response to his imminent departure, Juninho left a parting

message to all the LA Galaxy fans.

Juninho19LA: I want to thank Galaxy and all of my fans for your kindness

and support for the past two years that I was on the team.

Omar Gonzalez eyed by Club America

Defender-of-the-year Omar Gonzalez is reportedly scouted by Club America,

who is closely monitoring the player’s progress.

Should Club America make a move for Gonzalez, it can prove to be tempting

for Gonzalez to turn down as Club America plays in the professional Mexican

league and they are able to offer a much more lucrative contract without

the wage restrictions of the MLS.

Club America has also been looking to shore up their defence and Omar

seemed to be a great addition to their first-team squad. Omar Gonzalez

and defensive partner, AJ DeLaGarza were called up to the US squad in

preparation for International Friendlies with Venezuela and Panama

next year. Gonzalez will be looking to add to his tally of 2 international

caps while DeLaGarza will be looking forward to his first international cap.

There is a current trend of US players moving out of the MLS to prove

themselves on another stage. In fact, the majority of the US National

Team (players with established positions) is made of US exports who plied

their trade in Europe. Should one of the European club call upon Gonzalez,

Gonzalez will find it hard to turn down the opportunity to prove himself

on a bigger stage in Europe.

Gonzalez has featured in all 40 games for the Galaxy this season and

was a dominating presence in defence for Galaxy as the Galaxy ties the

record 17-games shutout and allowing 38 goals in 46 games in all

competition.

Watch how Gonzalez tear Alajuelense (CONCACAF Champions League)

apart with a header from (no-suprise) amazing Beckham corner.

So is David Beckham leaving?

That will be the biggest question at the back of everyone’s mind

as Christmas comes along. Beckham is officially remains a

Galaxy player until 31st Decemeber 2011, and there were reports

that Beckham has already signed the deal with France Lique 1

club PSG.

BeckhamGalaxy managed to pop this question to Galaxy captain,

Landon Donovan. Click to hear his reply here.

After Christmas, the world awaits the official announcement of

David Beckham’s final decision. (Including BeckhamGalaxy.)

There is no greater anticipation than this. Don’t you agree?
