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: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/fall%20out
And here you'll find definitions for the noun fallout: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/fall%20out

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