Hi

Actually, I'd have said "David Beckham's falling out with"
(David Beckham's quarrel or disagreement with).

I'd use the word fallout differently (American English).

Here is a link to an online dictionary. If you scroll down, you'll find the definitions of
the phrasal verbs fall through, fall behind, fall back and fall out:

Fallout means the detonation of a nuclear bomb, but the figurative meaning of quarrel should also be OK in my opinion...

originated from his decision to stay at home and tend his ailing son

what was originated? and what does 'tend' mean in the above text?

many thanks

The argument originated from the decision.
tend his ailing son = look after his ailing son (also 'tend to his ailing son')
