Beckham's boys help him beat the blues

Beckham waves to the Galaxy fans from the box

The former England captain sprained a ligament in his right knee during the Los Angeles Galaxy's SuperLiga final defeat by Pachuca last week.

So the 32-year-old was watching from the sidelines - again - as Galaxy met Real Salt Lake yesterday.

But there was plenty of action on the field - judging by the excitement in the box as Beckham and his sons jumped to their feet with job and slumped back in their seats in disappointment.

The looks say it all: 'Oh, ref!'

The £125million star player could be on the bench for four and six weeks in a re-run of his early weeks at the LA club.

But he looked comfortable in the luxury box with Romeo and Brooklyn, managing a smile and a wave to fans.

Later he took the boys for birthday lunch at The Cheesecake Factory in Beverly Hills.
