With all the news surrounding his loan move to AC Milan, David Beckham is still training with LA Galaxy ahead of their trip to New Zealand. "Well, although the MLS season is over for us, the Galaxy squad are still in training as we're off to New Zealand next month to play against an Oceania All-Star team. This gives us some time together working on things without the pressure of a match every week and it's good to spend some time together, with Bruce Arena also getting some time to put across his ideas." Beckham said on his blog.

Beckham also shed some light as to why the team were not able to visit Australia as previously contracted.

"I'm disappointed that we won't be visiting Australia again, like we did last year, as it's an incredibly beautiful country and I really enjoyed my last visit, but unfortunately the date of the proposed match was set during the players break with their families, which made it not possible for us to play. I look forward to going to Australia again soon."
