Yes, that’s right. David Beckham is looking quite manly in comparison to Carlos Tevez, the “dynamic Argentine striker” of Manchester United. Upon scoring the only goal of his team’s New Year’s Day match against Birmingham, the 23-year old pulled out a pink pacifier “from his shorts and jammed it in his mouth” in dedication to his wife and young daughter, Florencia, who are in Buenos Aires:

“The idea behind the dummy was to pay homage to my daughter and to let her and my wife know that my family is still my priority. The absence of my family at this time of year is not easy but players have to be professional and in England our obligation is to be on the field at this time of year.”

Yes, that’s awfully sweet and all that crap. Still, it’s bizarre.
