David and Victoria Beckham spent their first day in the States being welcomed by 5,000 soccer enthusiasts during a press conference introducing Becks as the newest member of the Los Angeles Galaxy soccer team.
Wearing a stylish gray suit, David smiled before telling his fans, “I’d like to say how honored I am that so many people have come here to see me presented today.”
With wife Victoria - who came decked out in a stylish fuchsia dress with a matching alligator bag - proudly looking on, David went on to say, “My family have now moved to Los Angeles, something we’re looking forward to, something we’re very proud of, and in our life everything’s perfect.”
And with everything in place, the soccer star is ready to keep pushing forward, adding, “So, on to my new challenge. This is one of the biggest challenges I have ever taken on in my career, to move to a different country, the other side of the world, something that I’m looking forward to.”
But the move may be the easy part. With the popularity of soccer in America laying squarely on his shoulders, most are wondering if the Beckham name can bring the sport the same notoriety in the States that it receives throughout the rest of the world.
Enjoy the pictures from today’s (July 13) press conference, along with some promo shots of David in his LA Galaxy gear.
