  • description: News short from RTÉ News on Two broadcast on the 15/5/12 Presented by Darren Frehill The LA Galaxy team visited the White House after winning its third cup in Major League Soccer, the US professional football league. President Barack Obama congratulated the team, including Keane, David Beckham and captain Landon Donovan - throwing in a few gags. Speaking about Irish striker Keane he said: "They've got Robbie Keane, the all-time leading scorer of the Irish national team. He's a cousin of mine. "Robbie arrived halfway through last season and scored his first goal just 21 minutes into his first game. "His team-mates were so happy that they filled his locker with what they call 'the pleasures of Ireland' - Guinness, Baileys and Irish Spring. Hopefully Robbie has broadened their surroundings since then." Obama also teased Beckham over his age - and his underwear. He said: "I told David that half of his team-mates could be his kids. We're getting old David, but you're holding up better than me! "David is tough, in fact it is a rare man who can be that tough on the field and also have his own line of underwear. David Beckham is that man." http://www.rte.ie/ten/2012/0516/beckham.html
