When the goalkeeper Danny Cepero’s free kick bounced into the opposing goal, he overshadowed the two drama kings David Beckham and Diego Maradona.

If David Beckham goes on a loan to A.C. Milan , he will return next year in time to train with the L.A. Galaxy, Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber said.

David Beckham’s agent is in talks with AC Milan over a loan deal for the Los Angeles Galaxy and England midfielder, Milan’s chief executive said.

David Beckham and the Los Angeles Galaxy needed a goal in extra time to tie the Red Bulls, 2-2, before the largest crowd for a Major League Soccer game this season.

David Beckham knows the place of his sport here in the United States: respectful and patient and somewhat subversive.

If David Beckham is “a global sports icon who will transcend the sport of soccer in America and carry it on his shoulders,” as the M.L.S. Commissioner proclaimed last year, then he has plenty of lifting to do.

David Beckham provided England teammate John Terry with a boost when his precision free kick found the center back in the U.S. box for a go-ahead goal in the 38th minute of an international friendly at Wembley Stadium.

Major League Soccer has imported big-name stars from abroad to bring a certain sophistication to the game. Yet the league remains largely one of haves and have-nots.

Despite all the hype and hoopla last season, the Los Angeles Galaxy struggled. But this season appears to be a different story for Landon Donovan and company.
