David's Wife Victoria Beckham Breast Flash Display

Victoria and David will move to their new house in June, because of David's 250 million dollar transfer to a club named “Galaxy” there.

Victoria and David Beckham have finally found the perfect house, where they will move this summer.

The multi-million dollar palace is modern, light and spacious, and has a lot of windows, but needs some work inside, which we found out from a source close to the couple.

On Saturday, Victoria will come to Los Angeles to sign contracts for the purchase of the house, and will meet with designers who will think of how to decorate the interior. A friend of David and Victoria says that the couple is happy that they now have the perfect home for them and their sons.

The house is large enough for a five member family, but is not too big. I has enough room for family members and friends who will visit them from Great Britain.

Victoria has visited Los Angeles countless times to look at houses, but many real estate agencies raised prices knowing that the buyers were the famous couple.

Now everything is finally alright because they have found a home and school where they will enroll their sons.

For now the couple still live in Spain, and because they are moving to the USA, they are searching for a buyer for their Spanish home. Their house in London, which has popularly been called Beckingham palace is not for sale, they will stay there when they go to visit family and friends in Great Britain, reported by People.com.

Champions League : Last Trophy Chance for Milan and Liverpool

Last chance for Liverpool and AC Milan to win a trophy this season is Champions League.

To do so, they will have to reverse first-leg defeats against Chelsea and Manchester United.

It's not an impossible task - both trail by only single goals from last week's first legs and face teams missing key players.


When Milan hosts Manchester United on Wednesday it will have to turn around a 3-2 deficit.

The Red Devils have been decimated by injuries, particularly at the back. Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic and Gary Neville will miss the match through injury, while Patrice Evra is suspended.

"With the problems we have in defense I think there's every chance we will concede again in Milan, but I think we'll score as well," United manager Alex Ferguson said. "What we have to do is step up a gear, play really well, and make sure we carry a goal threat."

Paul Scholes, who was suspended for United's 1999 winning final against Bayern Munich, is one booking from missing another final. Cristiano Ronaldo, who was below par in the first leg, and Gabriel Heinze also need to avoid being disciplined.

The trip to Italy follows a grueling fightback at Everton on Saturday to win 4-2, extending United's lead at the top of the English Premier League to five points and keeping United on course to repeat its 1999 treble.

The Reds Devils will face Chelsea in the FA Cup final on May 19, four days before a potential meeting in the Champions League final.

"They are doing well in the championship and have extended their lead over Chelsea so they will have less pressure than they would have had with a bad result," Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti said.

"But a Champions League semifinal is something special. It will be a game where we have to play at our best without losing concentration but with the right level of intensity and serenity."

Milan, the only non-English side left in the competition, beat Torino 1-0 in the Serie A on Saturday.

Filippo Inzaghi is expected to start in place of Alberto Gilardino as Milan attempts to make up for its one-goal deficit. Inzaghi should be supported by Kaka - the competition's top scorer with nine goals - and Clarence Seedorf.

Milan captain Paolo Maldini is the only doubt after aggravating his left knee in the first leg when Milan's 2-1 halftime advantage was wiped out by two goals from Wayne Rooney.

Milan won its sixth European title in 2003 beating Juventus on penalty kicks, and has knocked United out of the competition three times, including the 1958 and 1969 semifinals.

In the other semifinal on Tuesday, Joe Cole's goal gives Chelsea the edge against Liverpool.

When the sides met at the same stage in 2005, a 1-0 victory at Anfield saw Liverpool progress to the final and win its fifth European Cup.

To claim its first European Cup, the Blues will need to forget Saturday's 2-2 draw with Bolton that effectively lost them the Premier League title.

"When we lost the semifinal two years ago we beat Bolton two days before to lift the title," Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho said. "This time we lost two crucial points against Bolton and we can hopefully go there to win the tie and go to the final."

On Wednesday, Mourinho will be without defender Ricardo Carvalho, who sustained a knee injury on Saturday, and midfielder Michael Ballack, who underwent ankle surgery on Friday.

Chelsea can still land three trophies. The League Cup was won in February and it will contest the FA Cup final.

Liverpool lost 2-1 at Portsmouth on Saturday, but manager Rafa Benitez rested seven players who started at Chelsea, including captain Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher and Peter Crouch.

"The positive thing for us is that when playing not too well at Stamford Bridge we still conceded just the one goal," Benitez said.

"So if we play at our true level we can beat them. The key against a very good team like Chelsea is showing everything together - ability, being well organized, and showing character."

Mourinho has launched a furious tirade at Cristiano Ronaldo

Ronaldo, 22, had claimed that Mourinho "does not know how to admit his own failures" after the Blues boss's controversial comments on penalties.

But Mourinho hit back: "If Ronaldo says it is a lie penalties were not given against United, then he is lying.



"He needs to see he cannot fight with facts. If he is a liar, he will never reach the level he wants to reach."

Last weekend Mourinho insisted that there was a new rule in football, where United could not concede a penalty and Chelsea could not win one.

He was referring to spot-kicks both Sheffield United and Middlesbrough felt they should have been given at Old Trafford and a penalty he thought Chelsea should have had at Newcastle.

"The whole world knows how he is," Ronaldo was reported to have told Portuguese television.

"Mourinho always has to say something when he is not happy."

United are three points ahead of Chelsea in the Premiership with four games left, with the two sides meeting at Stamford Bridge on 9 May.

They will also face each other in the FA Cup final and both clubs are in the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Arsene Wenger : Sir Alex Is My Vote as Best Manager of Year

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger admits his traditional adversary, Manchester United's Sir Alex Ferguson, would get his vote as manager of the year.

The Gunners chief decided against nominating Chelsea counterpart Jose Mourinho, despite his side's bid for an unprecedented Quadruple which included a Carling Cup final victory over the Gunners.



Instead, when asked for his opinion on the Premiership's top boss this season, he said Ferguson and Steve Coppell, manager of the season's surprise package Reading, deserve recognition for their current campaigns.

Wenger and Ferguson have had their disagreements in the past but, asked who should be named manager of the year, the Frenchman said: "I feel this year Sir Alex Ferguson, because he's in a position to fight on every front, and Steve Coppell, who is in a position where nobody expected him to be and has a team who does not play negatively - they have a positive attitude everywhere they go."

Wenger, meanwhile, admits that the season has petered out into a big let-down for his youthful side following last term's march to the Champions League final.

"This year we had a massive disappointment, I feel overall, especially in going out of the Champions League the way we went out," he told the League Managers' Association website.

"But it's part of a growing process as well to handle this kind of disappointment and to still not let your disappointment stop your progression."

Klinsmann Admits to Become TV Football Analyst

Juergen Klinsmann returns to football one year after stepping down as Germany coach, as a television expert on a deal until 2009.

Germany's pay TV network Arena confirmed on Thursday that Klinsmann will get his own show from next season onwards around top Bundesliga matches and big-team games in foreign leagues.



"I don't see myself as the classic TV expert, but rather as an observer who enjoys football as much as the fans do," said Klinsmann.

The former Germany captain Klinsmann stepped down as national team coach last July after leading the team to third place at the home World Cup. Since then he declined to become US team coach and was also briefly linked with the manager job at English champions Chelsea.

Klinsmann, who resides in California, is an expert on the international football scene, having played in France, Italy and England.

Predrag Mijatovic : Beckham Transfer ' A Big Mistake'

Predrag Mijatovic Real Madrid sporting director accepts he made 'a mistake' by failing to secure David Beckham's long-term future at the Bernabeu.

The former England captain will head to Los Angeles Galaxy at the end of the season after failing to agree a contract extension with the Spanish club.




And former Madrid striker Mijatovic admits media comments during negotiations 'confused' all parties.

'When the season started we wanted David to stay, although we couldn't arrive at an agreement,' he told The Sun.

'Looking back I realise that it was a mistake not to talk things through clearly.

'The comments in the press from me, the president and his agent confused the player and us and because of that mistakes were made.'

Champions league Report : Joe Cole Fires Bridge

Joe Cole's first-half goal gave Chelsea a slender first-leg lead in their Champions League semi-final against Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.

Cole slid in Didier Drogba's cross after 29 minutes to give Jose Mourinho's side the upper hand.


Liverpool keeper Pepe Reina produced two brilliant saves from Frank Lampard to keep the tie in the balance.

Petr Cech denied Liverpool an away goal with a stunning second-half stop from Steven Gerrard's long-range volley.

Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez made a surprise selection of Bolo Zenden on the left flank and opted for Javier Mascherano instead of Momo Sissoko in the middle of midfield.

Chelsea gave a start to Joe Cole - and he proved an influential figure as the home side dominated the opening half.

Reina produced a marvellous reaction save to deny Lampard after seven minutes when he ran on to Drogba's knock-down only 10 yards out.

Drogba then failed to find Joe Cole when he was unmarked in the area - and the striker should have got on the end of a Joe Cole cross under challenge from Reina.

But Chelsea's pressure looked certain to pay off, and it did as they took the lead in the 29th minute.

Ricardo Carvalho's pass out of defence found Drogba, and he turned Daniel Agger before providing a perfect cross for Joe Cole to slide in from close range.

Liverpool's attacking responses had been fitful, limited to a tame header from Gerrard as he rose to meet Dirk Kuyt's cross.

Craig Bellamy had been disappointing, and it was no surprise when he was substituted by Peter Crouch after 51 minutes.

The England striker almost had an instant impact, challenging for a throw that fell for Gerrard, whose left-foot volley produced a brilliant save from Cech diving to his left.

Liverpool had penned Chelsea back for long periods after the break but had been short on clear-cut chances.

And it was Reina who had to be alert to clutch Drogba's shot low at his near post.

The striker then headed just wide as he got on the end of Lampard's free-kick with tension rising in the closing stages.

Reina then produced a brilliant save to keep Liverpool only a goal behind, diving to his left to palm away a powerful rising drive from Lampard.

Champions League : Steven Gerrard Claims Desire to Make History

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard claims it is the desire to make history that is behind his incessant drive to win the UEFA Champions League for a second time.

A glorious night in Istanbul back in 2005 saw Liverpool crowned champions of Europe, courtesy of a dramatic comeback against Milan, and it is a memory still fresh in the minds of everyone associated with the club ahead of Wednesday's semi-final clash with Chelsea.


Gerrard is well aware several captains in the annals of Liverpool's history have lifted the European Cup on more than one occasion and it is such an elite band that their current skipper plans on joining.

"I want to be remembered as a captain who lifted the trophy twice, or even more," he told the Daily Mirror.

"I want to be remembered along with those Liverpool greats like Hughes and Thompson, Souness, Neal and Dalglish.

"That is why you will see us out there giving it everything on Wednesday, working so hard to give every single ounce of energy we have. Because we want that and we can taste it again."

While the class of 2005 will live long in the memories of the Anfield faithful their achievement has, perhaps, been somewhat tainted by the accusation they were not a great side.

Such a viewpoint is one strongly opposed by Gerrard, who is firmly of the opinion their success was richly deserved and it is a glory he is keen to replicate.

"We won the trophy two years ago, and maybe people dismissed the achievement a little," he added.

"Maybe they even said we were a bit lucky, but we weren't. We have shown for the last three years that we are a force in Europe, that we are a team everyone fears.

"And if we can win it again this year, then we will go down in history as another great Liverpool side... not just a good one.

"That is what drives me on, and the rest of the players."

Alan Ball Died

1966 World Cup winner Alan Ball has died of a heart attack at the age of 61.

Ball was the youngest member of the England side that won the World Cup in 1966 and went on to win 72 caps.


The industrious midfielder started his career at Blackpool and went on to play for Everton, Arsenal and Southampton before a spell in the United States.

Ball, who collapsed outside his home after tackling a bonfire, also managed seven clubs, including Portsmouth, Southampton and Manchester City.

Ball, who was awarded an MBE in 2000, is the second member of the side that beat West Germany 4-2 at Wembley to die. Captain Bobby Moore died of cancer in 1993.

His son Jimmy Ball said: "I was talking to him last night just after the football and he was in great form. We were talking about (Paul) Scholes' pass.

"And then I got a phone call in the middle of the night. It's unbelievable and very, very sad.

"I would like him to be known as a nice man with a passion for football. He had a big heart and was very generous."

Mr Ball said his father missed his mother Lesley terribly after she died from cancer three years ago and added: "I hope they are together now."

The couple were married for over 36 years.

Sir Geoff Hurst, who scored a hat-trick in the 1966 final, led the tributes to Ball.

He said: "He was the youngest member of the team and man of the match in the 1966 World Cup final.

"Socially he was always a good laugh and the 1966 team mixed a lot after then."

He added: "We are all totally devastated."

Lawrie McMenemy, who twice signed him for Southampton, told the BBC: "He was my guest at St Mary's on Saturday and I should have been playing golf with him this morning.

"We were very, very good friends.

"I was very fortunate to manage him. I wanted him badly not just for his ability but for his enthusiasm. Once his feet touched the grass he was like a performer on the stage.

"In his early career he was a runner, a scrapper, a fighter, a workmanlike player. At the end of his career he became the best one-touch footballer in the game.

"Alan started life as a road sweeper and ended up as the best lead violinist Southampton ever had.

"They were a tight-knit family that World Cup team but he has gone to join Bobby Moore now.

"He was about to move up to his close pal Mick Channon and start a new part of his life that he was very excited about.

"He had an enthusiasm for life, not just football, and it spread. He was a lovely fella."

His midfield partner in 1966 Sir Bobby Charlton said: "He was probably the best player that day and if it had not been for his impact the result could have been totally different.

"He did not appear to have a nerve in his body, and he was an inspiration to us all.

"Alan was always bright and bubbly in everything he did as a player. He went about his work with great enthusiasm and gusto and he always had a smile on his face.

"He was a sensational little player with great touch and great vision. He had great close control and although he wasn't a fast player he didn't need to be. He could see things clearly and always made the right decisions.

"He was the youngest member of our squad and we were all looking forward to our latest reunion in two weeks. I am very sad and shocked by the news. Alan will be badly missed."

England team-mate Alan Mullery said: "I just can't believe it. His nickname was 'Bouncy', he was just such a bouncy, lively 61-year-old.

"It's such a shock. He was a loveable character, heart of gold and lived football. He just loved playing for his country.

"He was a wonderful footballer to have in your side, he was so enthusiastic. He had a marvellous engine for a midfield player and had wonderful skill.

"In the World Cup final he was 5ft 10in when he started but he did so much running that day he was 5ft 5in at the end.

"When everyone else was tiring there was Bally running round the pitch."

England team-mate Jack Charlton added: "Alan was a brave little fella. Everybody loved Alan he was a lovely little lad.

"Every time I met him and spent time with him he was taking the mickey out of me, he was having a go at me. It was something we had going since 1966.

"I used to get annoyed with him and grab him by the shirt but it was only fun and we both knew it and I am going to miss Alan more than anybody because we had a tremendous relationship.

"I'm laughing now because I am thinking of Alan. I am not happy and I don't know why I'm laughing. It's just thinking of him. I've got so many good memories of Alan Ball."

Former Arsenal goalkeeper Bob Wilson, who played alongside Ball at Highbury in the 1970s, said: "Everyone can visualise him with his red hair and squeaky voice which is still there and will always be there.

"He was such an infectious character, an extraordinary character - his love for the game was amazing. He would argue all the time, love to talk about the game - just an amazing character."

Former Blackpool and England team-mate Jimmy Armfield said: "It is devastating news.

"He had energy, ambition, drive and passion - and if he was not passionate about something, he didn't do it."

Howard Kendall, who combined with Ball and Colin Harvey to form the 'holy trinity' at Everton, said: "We arrived at Everton in the same season and hit it off immediately.

"He was such a bubbly character, it was really Alan who made the partnership with me and Colin work as well as it did.

"This is a terrible loss for the club and for football. I'm devastated by the news, I have lost a friend and team-mate."

Ball was part of Everton's 1970 league championship-winning side and also appeared in the 1970 World Cup finals in Mexico.

In 1973, he became only the second England player to be sent off in a full international when he was dismissed in a vital World Cup qualifier in Poland.

He missed the return game at Wembley as a result, a match that famously saw England fail to reach the 1974 finals and resulted in Ramsey's dismissal.

Ball went on to briefly captain his country but his international career was ended abruptly in 1975 when Ball was only 30.

In May 2005, Ball put his World Cup winners' medal and commemorative tournament cap up for auction to raise money for his family. They were sold for £140,000.

He is survived by his son, Jimmy, as well as two daughters Mandy and Keeley.

MLS Report: Galaxy Beats Crew

Nate Jaqua scored in the first half and the Los Angeles Galaxy eliminated the Columbus Crew from the U.S. Open Cup tournament with a 1-0 victory Tuesday night.

Galaxy captain Landon Donovan set up the goal, beating three Crew defenders on a run down the left side before sending a misdirected pass into the hands of Crew goalkeeper Bill Gaudette.




But Gaudette mishandled the ball inside the 6-yard box, allowing Jaqua an easy score.

Crew midfielder Danny Szetela nearly evened the score with a solid strike from 20 yards in the 21st minute, forcing Steve Cronin to make a diving save.

Forward Andy Herron bent a free kick around the Galaxy defensive wall and toward the right goal post in the 36th minute, but Cronin pounced on the shot to keep the Crew scoreless.

Neither team was able to maintain a steady attack during a listless second half punctuated by sloppy play and awkward tackles.

Galaxy midfielder Kevin Harmse was shown a yellow card by referee Erich Simmons for a hard challenge against Crew captain Duncan Oughton in the 71st minute.

Oughton and Crew defender Ward also were booked in the second half.

Gaudette left the game with a right leg contusion in the 34th minute, replaced by regular Crew starting goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum.
