Landon has it right
by pinella
Earlier this week the Galaxy’s Landon Donovan finally spoke out regarding teammate David Beckham. Or, should I say, parttime teammate David Beckham.
Bottom line was that Landon said Beckham wasn’t a good teammate seeing as how he (Beckham) played for the Galaxy when he wanted to, worked out when he felt like it and cashed the checks.
The whole Beckham Experiment in L.A. didn’t really work out the way the Galaxy envisioned it. Hardly. He draw fans, but some cash in the tiller but otherwise was a dismal failure.
Donovan probably feels like he is a big enough name on the team now that he can express his opinion without fear. But whatever it took, good for Landon. It’s about time someone said what everyone knew all along.

I am glad Donovan spoke out about Beckham’s lack of respect for his teammates, the galaxy fans, and the MLS. Beckham is obviously not interested in playing in the MLS and is only interested in the money. The novelty of Beckham in the U.S. has wore off so the galaxy should get rid of him. If the MLS is going to be a great league it will need to train and recruit young American soccer talent in a similar way to the European teams who begin training players at a very early age. This would also help us build a stronger national team because there would be quality, well funded soccer programs throughout the U.S. For the time being, in my opinion, Donovan is the biggest star in the MLS, not Beckham.

I think Landon should have kept his mouth shut. He claimed Beckham isn’t a good leader but what sort of leader is Landon being going public and criticizing his teammate?

Beckham easily made Landon shut up when he came back to America and gave the media a response. I loved it haha.
