Beckham goes Olympic

David Beckham missed The Galaxy's game against Chicago Fire to carry out two international duties this week.

haha, too bad most people in the US didn't see it since the NBC coverage sucked!. Sorry but its true. I wonder how much those Beckham soccer balls are worth on eBay. I imagine they're worth something since they're part of the closing ceremony.
