Morrissey: Our man in the stands
Drowned In Sound seems outraged that Morrissey would turn up to support a team playing against David Beckham's career-wind-down project LA Galaxy:
However, the smug ex-Smiths man wasn't howling and wailing his support for Beckham's side - instead he was sat, clad in replica shirt, in the Chivas end.
The smug singer eventually ran out the vicarious victor, as LA were given a sound 3-0 beating.

Surely what's shocking here is not that Mozzer isn't getting behind Beckham; rather than he's going to football matches wearing replica shirts. He'll be guzzling the half-time Brats next.

Why on earth would Morrissey be somehow "expected" to be supporting the team that David Beckham plays for? Is Morrissey a well known David Beckham fan?
Presumably, since England's national champion is playing for them, they have become the unofficial representatives of England in the Los Angeles celebrity league or somesuch.
Chivas are the team supported by Mozzer's Mexican fanbase.
Also, Moz is friends with QPR striker Kevin Gallen - Gallen reportedly sent him a QPR top for his last birthday, so it would appear he now has a collection of football tops.
It's not as if there haven't been hints of football fandom before - songs called 'Munich 1958' and 'Roy's Keen' are presumably clues.
