Although no official announcement has been made ruling Beckham out of the World Cup, it is merely a formality, according to a source who wishes to remain anonymous.

Missy — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 12:38:12 +0000

Back in the USA and playing for L.A. Galaxy after being on loan to his old team AC Milan, David Beckham lost his cool after a fan became unruly last weekend at a game which happened to be against AC Milan.

A large group of onlookers were unhappy with David and wanted to make sure that he heard them booing his performance. One disgruntled fan, in close proximity to Beckham, took it a little too far and proceeded to heckle the soccer star.

L.A. Galaxy official had to restrain Beckham as he ran up to the fan to confront him. David’s side? He said his intent was to shake the man’s hand in order to calm him down. Nobody bought into that scenario and Beckham ended up getting fined $1,000 by the MLS over the ordeal.

Check out video of the altercation below.

The March 8 match-up between team AC Milan and Atalanta at the San Siro Stadium was to be David Beckham’s European swansong. It had been widely reported that he was to board a plane for L.A. immediately after the match in order to arrive on time for the start of Galaxy spring training on March 9.

His status has now changed and the soccer star has bought himself another four months with the team he loves. AC Milan and Beckham have each shelled out money to extend the loan until mid July. Beckham’s own out of pocket is reported to be $3 million.

This move will enable Becks to be on board for two England World Cup qualifiers in June. His new agreement has him tentatively rejoining Galaxy in their July 16 game against the New York Red Bulls in Rutherford, N.J.

The soccer player is in year three of a five year contract, worth $32.5 million. There is a built-in buyout option coming up in November, with two years remaining.
