Beckham Back In Nz To A Cooler Welcome

David Beckham arrived in New Zealand Wednesday for a second round of soccer diplomacy, receiving an enthusiastic, although calm, welcome on his first visit a year ago. He touched in New Zealand at 5:30 local time trying to travel weary, standing quietly among teammates as a group of indigenous Maori performed a traditional welcome ceremony. Beckham and his Los Angeles Galaxy team are due to play an exhibition match in Auckland on Saturday.
