Frustrated LA Galaxy fans' fury at no-play Beckham

LA Galaxy fans are certainly making their disappointment clear about the injury keeping David Beckham off the pitch.

They held up "Wanted" posters of the star striker scrawled with "missing", "too scared" and "I lost".

And there was no missing the banner "Bench it like Beckham", referring to the new signing's residence on the sidelines.

Another disguntled fan held up his handiwork: "Welcome to America where people like you get paid to do nothing."

Beckham, however, wasn't even on the bench for Galaxy's tie with FC Dallas in the SuperLiga, Group A, Final.

Spokesman Patrick Donnelly had already confirmed that the injured star would "not be travelling to Dallas".

Now the club - and the fans - will be hoping he is match fit to line up against Toronto FC.

So far he has only made it on to the pitch for the club as a late subsitute against Chelsea.

Beckham is receiving treatment daily for the injury, first suffered while playing for England on June 6.

And he hasn't even had the chance to really get to know his team-mates - having missed training sessions as well as two other SuperLiga games.

Although the wait for Beckham's full debut is frustrating for the fans, the club does not want to rush the former England captain who has signed a five-year contract potentially worth $250 million.

And at least one spectator is easily pleased - his home-made banner read "All I came for was to see Spice Girl."
