“I feel a bit like a child. Today I’m celebrating an event that fills me with pride,” Inzaghi said. “Three hundred goals is really a lot. I didn’t have time to prepare any celebrations. I’ve scored five goals in two weeks that I didn’t expect.”
Pato’s goal was sick…
The BBC reports that David Beckham plans to exercise a clause in his contract allowing him to buy a Major League Soccer franchise at the end of his playing career.
“I have the right to own an MLS franchise, which I will action immediately after I have stopped playing,” Beckham said.”

The “timeshare” agreement is finally signed off on as David Beckham’s AC Milan loan will continue to the end of the Serie A campaign, where he will then join back up with the LA Galaxy through the end of the 2009 MLS Season before heading back to Milan for the 2009 / 10 season. One positive for LA Galaxy fans is the chance to see AC Milan up close as the deal includes a clause forcing a July 19th Friendly at the Home Depot Center.
According to Grahame Jones at the LA Times, the Galaxy, AC Milan and David Beckham appear to have worked out a new deal. This deal will see Becks stay in Milan until the end of the Serie A season, which will restrict him from returning to the Galaxy until mid July when the international transfer window reopens. This would cause him to miss the first 17 games of the 30 game MLS season. And with a buy out clause taking effect at the end of this calendar year, it’s probably safe to say that that clause will be activated and he will be on his way.
Today Robin Abcarian and Grahame L. Jones of the LA Times wrote a piece on DBs stay in LA. They did a pretty good job of capturing both sides of the story. Becks hasn’t necessarily been getting killed in the press, but most of the stuff I have been reading seems as if the writers are getting caught up with anger at the guy for bailing on US Soccer. Thats not what happened. Here are a few excerpts from the article and a link to the full text after the jump
