David Beckham's recent misbehaviour did not go unnoticed, and MLS has dropped the hammer on him.

Beckham was fined an undisclosed amount and suspended one game by the MLS Disciplinary Committee for his actions during and after the Los Angeles Galaxy's 4-3 loss to the San Jose Earthquakes on June 30, the league announced on Thursday. Beckham just served a one-game suspension for yellow card accumulation after getting cautioned in the thrilling match versus the Earthquakes, but he will now miss the Galaxy's visit to Toyota Park to take on the Chicago Fire on Sunday.

Beckham was not the only one punished this week by the league. Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena and Impact head coach Jesse Marsch were both given undisclosed fines for publicly criticizing officials.

What do you think of Beckham's punishment? Is it about right or should it have been more severe? Did Arena and Marsch deserve to be fined?
