You think they knew he wasn't there?

Here's a fan (above) wearing an England national soccer team jersey with David Beckham's name on the back sucking face with his girlfriend as he waits in line to purchase tickets for the Galaxy's home opener against FC Dallas at Home Depot Center on Thursday. Did the girl know Beckham wasn't playing? Of course not. The guy roped her into going under false pretenses. What a guy. Becks, of course, isn't supposed to be done with his Real Madrid team until July. But that doesn't mean the fans couldn't stop dreaming.
Here's another fan entering a contest to win a luxury (to use the term loosly) suite at HDC for when Beckham finally relocates. Good luck with that. You might as well buy up a bunch more California Lottery Scratchers while you've got your head in the clouds. And for anyone who was wondering, here's how Beckham spent his Thursday: Bouncing the ball off his head during a team workout at Valdebebas Stadium outside Madrid. Looks like it hurt him much more than it hurt us for not having watched him play Thursday night during the Galaxy's 2-1 home-opening loss, which dropped their record to 0-1-1.
