Beckham's A-list friends cheer him on the football pitch... but LA Galaxy still can't win a match

Updated 11:12am on 15 Aug 2008



His is one of the most recognisable faces on the planet.

So it makes sense that David Beckham should command an enviable A-list supporters' club whenever he takes the pitch.

And the turnout for Thursday night's match between Beckham's Los Angeles Galaxy and Chivas USA  in Carson, California was no exception.

Sat alongside Victoria Beckham cheering her husband were Tom Cruise, Gordon Ramsay and his family, and Eva Longoria's husband Tony Parker.


Ramsay and Parker were particularly animated during the game, while Cruise preferred to take a more measured stance, quietly contemplating the football on display in front of him.

He may have good reason to pause for thought.

The LA Galaxy drew 2-2 with Chivas USA, bringing the total of games they've now gone without winning to seven.

The troubled club this week fired general manager Alexi Lalaas and accepted the resignation of Dutch coach Ruud Gullit.

The side is currently in fourth place in the Western Conference league, after being expected to contend for the Major League Soccer (MLS) title this season.

Beckam is the highest paid player in the MLS and is being paid a reported £125million over five years.
