David Beckham heading to London again, apparently

Which might be OK – except that the closing ceremonies are Aug. 12, which happens to be the date of his team’s next date against next door neighbor Chivas USA.

The Galaxy didn’t seem to miss its midfield playmaker over the weekend, getting all three points out of a trip to FC Dallas. (Landon Donovan was away for that one, too.)
