Galaxy. Personally I think he isnt a good player, his fame coming from his looks. I personally think Beckham is only good at PKs which happen usually 1 per game if even. Hes to old to make a decent cross, and cant shoot under pressure. He will be good for the Galaxys income though, being a big name for Americans. People say, that because he played for MAN U and Madrid that he is a super star, yes great teams, but if he is so great, why isnt he still on one of them?

Its funny how the commentaters got all excited when he touched the ball and he wasnt even playing! I hope he didnt injure his ankle any further too!

It's just that I'd never really stopped to think before that an accurate long ball has been THE largest missing piece for the Galaxy. Maybe there is method to Alexi's madness after all.

How you have been missed! (I was fairly certain that you were the Christian I'd offended by dissing Herbalife and I'd driven you away from blogging forever.) I'll be sure to stop by your blog later on. Once I get over my jealousy that you were actually at the game and not forced to turn your attention away from the game over and over for vapid interviews and Beck-cam shots of his shoes. Christian!!

That's honest for you. And I'm glad ABEL! is playing well for you guys, that's most pleasing. I love that Beckham said he was glad he didn’t get too many touches. That’s honest for you.

I think he realized what we was doing about halfway through and thats what caused the clumsiness of it all. if he had gone full speed the whole way there might not have been as much contact.

Long time, no blog--new baby at home, seems to require a lot of attention--I'm typing with one hand in the dark. Wow, that sentence doesn't mean what it used to. It's 'cause I'm feeding a baby. Anyhoo, I was at the game last night, miraculously, and the atmosphere was great. This is going to be a lot of fun. The lads put some heart into it and saved Yallop's job (for now). Xavier was particularly good in the second half. I will try to actually post today with other thoughts (I have many). Keep up the good work here. Oh, and Robben is a far more brazen diver than Didier. He never played last night, and I'd like to think it's because I verbally assaulted him during warm ups and made him cry in front of the John Terry. Hi again Laurie!

Worry about the other players being good for him. That long pass late in the 2nd half, is a Beckham trademark and you will see many more of those once he gets settled into the real action. Barn door right - couldn't agree more. I expected 3,4,5 goals last night (purely based on the Tigres score) But thats Chelsea for you and I should know! Sidwell - dont be too harsh on him. Was just doing his job - even I thought OUCH! Dont you worry too much about Beckham being good for you. Worry about the other players being good for him.
