Beckham has fierce bust-up with L A Galaxy mates

Los Angeles, Apr.2 (ANI): Ex-England football star David Beckham has had a fierce bust-up with his LA Galaxy teammates after being pelted by a beer can in his first game.

Becks got into a shouting match with Sean Franklin and Marcelo Sarvas while walking off at half time during their 3-1 home defeat to New England.

Neither Beckham nor Brazilian Sarvas appeared in the second half.

The Sun quoted manager Bruce Arena as insisting that it was a tactical move.

He said: "It was purely a coach's decision. We needed to make a change in midfield. I'm sure David's not pleased about it but that's not the issue. The issue was that 11 players from New England soundly outplayed 11 players from the Galaxy." (ANI)
