For female soccer fans, Washington has been the place of late to spot their favorite footballers.
First it was Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo. But this weekend the District moved up a notch with a visit from the game’s most famous sex symbol and, arguably, its most famous player — David Beckham. Beckham was at the center of a frenzy of fans and paparazzi from the moment he touched down at Washington Dulles International Airport on Friday for his Los Angeles Galaxy’s weekend game against our own D.C. United.
But since for most women it’s mostly his looks, his wife, Victoria (or “Posh”), and his sexy underwear ads that come to mind more so than how he plays on the field, we’re guessing they had no problem with the less-than-exciting game he played Saturday night at RFK stadium.
In a downpour of rain, Beckham’s scoreless match for the L.A. Galaxy definitely garnered much less commotion than the other sightings of him over the weekend.
Following his Saturday night game, Beckham certainly didn’t let a 0-0 game ruin his night. He was spotted at Georgetown’s private L2 Lounge, where once source tells us he was “all smiles.” Wonder if it was all the attention from female fans in the packed house?
