Beckham vs. Ahmadinejad just not happening

According to SI, the Los Angeles Galaxy have denied a statement by the Iranian Football Federation claiming that the club was scheduled to play a friendly against the Iranian national team. A representative of the Galaxy explained that "it is very rare for the Galaxy to play any national team. The Galaxy likes to play top-tier friendly matches against other clubs and let the U.S. national team play the friendlies against other national teams."


After the Galaxy's refusal, the captain of the Iranian team angrily responded "تاجيكى!"

America's ultimate villain and President of Iran Mahmoud Ahmadinejad later responded in a text to metrosexual Galaxy star Landon Donavan, "dude wtf?!"

There's a few funny things to note here: a) the fact that the Iranian Football Federation scheduled a match with the L.A. Galaxy without letting them know, b) that the Galaxy representative said that the team likes to play top-tier friendly matches, c) the image of the too cool David Beckham traveling to Iran as his homeless teammates carried his bags / children, and finally d) the MLS in general.

Honestly, it wouldn't be such a bad idea for the Galaxy. The rare publicity would do...something? Maybe the athletes could finally live up to their team name and travel somewhere else in the galactic universe. Yeah, sure, some Americans would be shot and/or killed, but is that really any worse than being in the MLS in the first place?
