David Beckham Gets Red Card

Yesterday David Beckham got a red card during a Major league Soccer game. Los Angeles Galaxy was playing against Seattle Sounders.

Galaxy lost the game 2-0. Referee Ricardo Salazar showed Beckham a straight red card for getting a piece of Vagenas' foot on a hard tackle. The English star's ejection promoted a series of cheers and boos as he made his way off the field and into the tunnel.

CNN reports:

"Pete is one of my best friends," Beckham told Galaxy's official Web site. "I think it's a hard tackle but by no means a red card. I've never gone into a tackle wanting to hurt someone. The referee saw it differently."
