Honolulu – In first pre-season game of 2008 ended with disappointment for David Beckham as they lose the game with Japan’s Gamba Osaka with 1-0 on Wednesday. The English midfielder played the entire game at Aloha stadium but was unable to prevent his team losing to their J-league opponents. He was involved in angry exchange with Brazilian Lucas after a heavy collision in the second half.
Winning goal scored by the Brazilian striker Bare in the third minute with firing a left-foot shot past goalkeeper Steve Cronin. “It is always disappointing when you lose the game but when you don’t start off properly that happens. For the first 15 minutes we were terrible,” Beckham told reporters.” Los Angeles will face Sydney FC in the third-place playoff on Saturday after the Australian side lost 3-0 to Houston Dynamo in the second semi-final.
