Donovan's acting just like Shaq. Kobe is a much better player, but Shaq just couldn't handle having to share. He wanted to get traded to Europe but didn't, so now he's just putting pressure on everyone to let him go.

He'll be leaving the US sooner or later, so who cares what Donovan thinks.

It's pretty obvious that Beckham only signed up with the MLS as a media ploy and an easy paycheck. His heart is with the Euro leagues which I can understand but his bank account pulled rank...obviously...

I'm sorry but Becks has done nothing since arriving but strip down to his underwear for photo shoots. I'm with Donovan. How can we build up American football if we keep bringing in former stars who think the MLS is a joke? Quite frankly let Italy keep Beckham and his ugly wife.

Good for Beckham, who wouldn't have signed if some dumbass offered them millions to just f*** about, I'm sure the galaxy are making plenty out of him in Milan, besides American soccer is s*** the games are the most talentless boring games I have ever seen. European Kindergarten soccer is more entertaining.

At this point in their careers, Donovan is a much more valuable player than Beckham. Beckham is old and at best an average player in MLS, who is only good on set pieces. I can't stand Donovan , but he is 100 percent correct.

I think they should play Beckham at Center Forward when he comes back to the Galaxy. Nothing like a few goals-scored in the news would ice his spot on the England team better. Besides, he is wasted at midfield for the Galaxy because his passes often bounce off the back of the unsuspecting heads of the usual Galaxy strikers!

poorly written article but the point is made. Superstar Divas(is David one??) should play their rolls on the screen so they can watch their antics over and over. The ball field is for sports and the team work that comes with plaing in a game..not foe a singular person's benefit, but for the fans who pay the big bucks to see their TEAMS play.

David got bored with the Americans and found out first hand that Americans can't play English Football! It just goes to show that Americans can't excel in everything.

Landon Donavon is a Punk. Anyone who has seen him play for any amount of time watches a whiner and a diver, a flop internationally and he not able to cut in in Germany 3 times. Having been an Earthquakes & Galaxy season ticket holder he's act is old. Beckham playing in MLS is a man playing with boys and Landon your a boy! Compare careers and trophy's won the facts speak for themselves.

Once the money was guaranteed to Beckham in his contract, pretty much it was easy street for him whether he played hard or not. If I was the owner of the team I would pay out his contract, and get rid of Beckham. Get somebody to fill his shoes and give him one fourth of the contract amount as a down payment, and if that player showed after a number of games that he can do it, and proven himself, I would eventually give him full status and remaining amount in the contract, but unfortunately thats not how sports agents work. The sports agents are just as greedy as the wallstreet traders and the culture we live in. Dave Beckham represents an era of athletes where money is the motivating factor in how hard or how we all work, not the passion.

Donovan is an idiot, and a failure, a whiner and a jackass ! he spends too much time complaining and acting like a showoff. He should be proud to play alongside Beckham ! Beckham has proven himself in international tournaments , won many more prestigious titles than that crybaby (look at me, look at me Donovan). Landon Donovan if you ever read any of these comments, take a hint ...... @#$% OFF !!!

Beckham is a hack!! Same as that hag he is married too. LA should send both of them packing back to jolly old England where the hacks can live in obscurity.

i dont even follow sports and i noticed this guy doesnt bother. he came here and sat on the bench like the worlds most overpaid cheerleader. got all this celebration, then split the moment he was feeling better. i think his team should give him the boot and get him suspended from the sport. then he can go model underware with that creepy thing he married full time for a few months, until we all forget about him. didnt there used to be some guy in basketball that had funny colored hair? wasnt he real famous? at some point youre just too arrogant to still have fans. hasta la vista, and take twiki spice with ya.

We used Bechkham and his name to sell tickets. At that time, he was still physically hurt. The MLS and its style of play allowed him to not only heal but showed just how far behind USA soccer is when a hurt, over the hill player can still play pretty good futbol here in the states....he would never of had that chance in the PL. He healed up and showed Europe he may still have something left in the old gas tank...at the USA' expense and her fans.....

I have been at Galaxy games and Beckham was not impressive. However, Donovan has been entertaining. Its a shame that Beckham's MLS numbers are not even close to Blanco's who is on the Chicago Fire. Although the Beckham experience paid off some dividends, his celebrity power has dwindled as he does very little on the field. If Beckham played like Blanco, Donovan would have nothing to complain about.

I was skeptical regarding Bechams talent but I watched him at Real Madrid and he made me a believer. The problem is that the MLS over-sold themselves to Becham as a high quality league in which to play. Becham was forced to go to Milan to maintain his skills - watching the galaxy with Becham just helped illustrate how tactically and skillwise poor they really are. You could see how disturbed and disappointed Becham was on the field but he was just too much the gentleman to come out and say it in public because it wouldn't have helped the MLS. Donovan just doesn't get it - that's why Bayern Munich sent him packing - that's why Freddy Adu was sent packing at Man United - ad nauseum,,,Maybe if they spent time earning a starting position on a team in the Brazileiro it might be different.
