David Beckham Is Relishing Oceania Test

At a press conference on Thursday morning David Beckham told reporters he is hoping to see more of Auckland before the Galaxy side fly out on Sunday.

"It's an amazing beautiful country. That's one of the great parts of being here. It is one of the nicest places I have ever been. I have felt very welcomed."

David also talked about his short stint playing for Milan and didn't rule out playing for England in 2010 World Cup - if they qualify.

"I take each game as it comes. If I carry on to the World Cup, then great but I'm enjoying the qualifiers at the moment and enjoying the way the team are playing and the way they are bonding together."

He said England not making the Euro 2008 tournament was disappointing but "hopefully we can now reach the World Cup finals".

After the loss to Sydney FC yesterday, David spent today launching his new Intimately Night fragrance at a Sydney department store.

Asked about the ankle injury which pained him early in the LA Galaxy's 3-5 loss to Sydney FC, Beckham gave promoters the good news ahead of Saturday's game against the Phoenix.

"It's not too bad - a bit sore but I'll be fine for New Zealand," he said.

David then moved onto the next location to promote the new Motorola Razr. No rest for the wicked.

David Beckham Bends It In, But Galaxy Still Lose

David Beckham scored one of his signature free-kicks and received a yellow card as LA Galaxy were beaten 5-3 by Sydney FC in their exhibition match today.

The game was a sell-out, watched by 80,295.

After the game at the post match conference David said, "I was really happy to score tonight because of the amount of fans and the attention that there has been on myself and this game tonight, so I was really pleased to score."

They were concerned halfway through the first period when Sydney's Brendon Santalab slipped into him accidentally, catching Beckham painfully on the ankle.

There was a massive roar when Beckham stood up and limped away to carry on. Another fiery moment in the second half, came after Sydney's Robbie Middleby body checked Beckham.

Beckham, not normally a physical player, was yellow-carded later for a get-square tackle, the crowd and the player laughed when he embraced his opponent in a playful hug.
