SHOUTING MATCH ... David Beckham
DAVID BECKHAM has had a fierce bust-up with his LA Galaxy team-mates.
Becks got into a shouting match with Sean Franklin and Marcelo Sarvas while walking off at half-time during their 3-1 home defeat to New England.
Neither Beckham nor Brazilian Sarvas appeared in the second half.
Manager Bruce Arena insisted it was a tactical move. He said: "It was purely a coach's decision. We needed to make a change in midfield.
"I'm sure David's not pleased about it but that's not the issue. The issue was that 11 players from New England soundly outplayed 11 players from the Galaxy.
"I couldn't change 11 players and that's what I told the team at half-time. If I had 11 substitutions, I'd have considered that."
Sources close to Becks, 36, insisted he missed the second half because of a hamstring injury.
