Beckham Surprise has Young Fan in Tears




Beckham surprise has young fan in tears, David Beckham gatecrashing an impromptu photo was too much for this young sports fan.

Beckham delights fans in East London with surprise appearance. LA Galaxy player and former England captain David Beckham has been entertaining Londoners at Westfield Stratford City shopping centre near the Olympic Park.

A delighted group of 60 Olympic fans got the surprise of their lives ahead of the Games when former Manchester United and England star David Beckham dropped in at the Westfield Stratford City shopping mall.

The fans were enjoying having their photos taken in the Team GB kit in a photo booth when Beckham popped in to give them a surprise. The footballer's unexpected appearance was part of the Take The Stage campaign run by adidas, the Team GB kit suppliers.

Afterwards Beckham commented, "It was a unique experience for me and the people who took part and there were some great reactions when we surprised them in the photo booth.

I always love coming back to London and the activity was a great opportunity for me to get involved in the adidas Take The Stage campaign and get behind Team GB."

Some of the fans were simply overwhelmed with joy, schoolboy Christian Lewis and his mum Elaine both bursting into tears when they spotted Beckham.

Meanwhile, reacting to the news that Sir Chris Hoy has been chosen as Team GB’s flag bearer for the opening ceremony Beckham added, "Everyone looks up to him, he’s a great Olympian.

He’s a person that has been the best, done the best and achieved the best. He’s someone that everyone is proud of and for him to be carrying the flag it’s a true honour."

Tennis Star Rudely Taunts Chair Umpire

Tennis Star Rudely Taunts Chair Umpire


Tennis Star Rudely Taunts Chair Umpire, Caroline Wozniacki to chair umpire: ‘Have you been to school?’ (VIDEO), Caroline Wozniacki's loss in the French Open was made even worse by her childlike outburst. The one, and perhaps only, universal compliment that Caroline Wozniacki receives on her tennis game relates to her tenaciousness and fight. She proved as much in Saturday's three-set loss to Kaia Kanepi. The former world No. 1 won the second set after going down 1-5 and staged a brief comeback from the same score in the third, before Kanepi prevailed 6-1, 6-7 (3), 6-3.

Wozniacki channeled some of her fight to the chair umpire during a whiny exchange in the second set. A Kanepi shot was erroneously ruled in and Wozniacki took the opportunity to childishly complain about it. The complaint itself was valid -- replays showed the ball landing beyond the line -- but the setting was more lockers and Trapper Keepers than red clay and Paris. At one point, Wozniacki asked the umpire if he had ever gone to school. It was a wonder she never got to "I know you are, but what am I?"

The whole clip is embedded, but the fireworks begin at 1:49.

A transcript of the exchange that was clear on audio:

"You can not just sit there and be so arrogant. How can you see those balls there when the ball is like this out? It's not touching the line. If we had Hawk-Eye you would be so freaking embarrassed right now. So embarrassed, especially when you can see the mark. Have you been to school? Can I ask you, have you gone to school? You have gone to school, so you know that this [holds up fingers closely together] is out. It's not so difficult."

Wozniacki, who has dropped to No. 9 in the world and hasn't won a tournament since last August in New Haven, continued her outrage in the post-match press conference:

"When the ball is clearly out, I don't think there should be anything to argue about. If they cannot see, they should have other umpires on the lines or invent Hawk‑Eye on these courts. It's a disgrace that mistakes like this are made. It wasn't even like, you know, could have been in, could have been out. It was clearly out. Also, when a ball travels 5 miles an hour in the I think either the linesman or the main umpire should be able to see the ball, as well."

Is Wozniacki mocking Kanepi's light hitting? I'd call that ironic, but it's been a while since I've been to school.
