Your support makes all the difference.David Beckham has clashed with another fan in the US, just a week after an ugly exchange with supporters on his return to LA Galaxy after a loan spell in Italy.
The 34-year-old confronted a supporter wearing an England shirt during Galaxy's 1-1 draw away to Kansas City Wizards on Saturday.
Beckham shook hands with the fan after speaking to him, but later called him a "disgrace" for comments he made about his wife Victoria.
"He shouldn't actually be wearing that shirt because what he was saying about my wife was a disgrace," Beckham said.
The former England captain was fined £600 by Major League Soccer on Friday for confronting fans as he left the pitch at half time in Galaxy's home friendly against AC Milan.
Beckham received a frosty reception at the match - his first home game since returning from a five-month spell at Milan.
