Kyle Beckerman has a simple game plan for containing David Beckham when his Real Salt Lake face the Los Angeles Galaxy in the Major League Soccer Cup final.

"Just dominate him," he said as his strategy.

That will force David Beckham out of dangerous positions and stifle him out of the game. Or so Beckerman hopes.

The two teams have been in Seattle, Wash. training for two days in Qwest Field ahead of the clash on Sunday.

Beckham has already admitted that he will require an injection to help alleviate the pain from bone bruising in his foot and the Galaxy closed practice Saturday, leading some to believe the Englishman has graver fitness issues than the team is letting on.

Of course, none of that will change Beckerman's intricate plan for squeezing Beckham out of the game.
