Looking good! US football star Landon Donovan looked in great shape as he took a stroll on a beach in Australia
David Beckham has been LA Galaxy's pin-up boy for years, but now he has some serious competition.
While Victoria Beckham's seems to have let his grooming regime slip of late, his teammate Landon Donovan is looking better than ever.
The football star revealed his toned torso while soaking up the sun on a Sydney beach yesterday.
The 28-year-old attacking midfielder was accompanied by some of his fellow LA Galaxy players during a short break on the team trip.
The entire 22-man LA Galaxy squad, including England international David Beckham, flew to Sydney on Wednesday.
They are due to play in an exhibition match against the Newcastle Jets on Saturday night but will also spend time relaxing, sightseeing and taking part in team activities including wine tasting and surfing.
The match is due to attract over 23,000 fans and generate over $1million for the Australian economy.

At a press conference held when the team landed, Landon addressed the possibility that he would return to play in the English Premier League during the MLS (Major League Soccer) off season.
'If you asked me today, I would probably say no because my body is exhausted. If you asked me in two months, I’d probably say yeah because I’m excited again,' he told reporters.
The star said he would decide for certain next month.

David Beckham was also questioned by reporters in Sydney but they were more interested in the whereabouts of David's fashionable wife, Victoria Beckham.
'My wife and kids would obviously love to have been here but they're celebrating
Thanksgiving and Victoria's just come back from a long trip working in Europe,' Beckham said.
'Unfortunately she wanted to come out but it wasn't possible, but I'm sure she will at some point.'
Landon's wife, actress Bianca Kajlich, is also understood to have sat the trip out.
The couple reconciled earlier this year after a 12-month split.
It came after Donovan faced claims he had fathered a child during their separation with a British woman while on loan for Liverpool club Everton last year.
Donovan, who learned of the claim during the World Cup in South Africa in June, said he would be willing to 'take responsibility' for the child.
However, a month later he announced: 'I know now that I will not be a dad any time soon, which is good news for me.'
Donovan became the highest scoring American in World Cup history during his team's campaign scoring three goals during the teams three matches at the finals.
