BECKHAM SITS: English megastar David Beckham resumed his tour of American soccer benches Sunday, sitting out the Los Angeles Galaxy's match against the New England Revolution to rest his tender left ankle.

"He's the best player in the league," said Dan Higgins, 16, from South Kingston, R.I. "So, yeah, I'm disappointed. On a disappointment scale of one to 10, I'd say it's about a nine."
