I would choose his best pass-the once against Zaragosa in second leg of Copa,when Ronaldo scored (3-0)

Mag, thanks for the treat! Alot of those Real Madrid assists were in Beckham’s first season there, while he was still playing center mid for them.
It also included one that I think I sent Laurie awhile ago — the famous fifty yard pass to Zidane’s left foot which he scored on with one touch…in the posts match interviews Zidane said it was the best pass he’s ever scored from (joking about it hitting his left instead of right foot ), and Beckham said it was the best goal anyone’s ever made from one of his passes. Cute Boys!!!

Still watching the replays from overhere in blighty! Wicked goals by Becks and Donovan….I am so happy for LA Galaxy – you’re gonna win the Superliga. I wish I was there.

Look after him won’t you – he’ll never never ever let you down – ever!

Congratulations L.A. Galaxy!

Just one thing: congrats on getting to see your guys win, Laurie. You’ve been patient.

I left a comment in another post about Becks playing as a gesture to the fans (and media). Well, we were rewarded with a awesome free kick & assist.

Man, that guy seriously brings heart & inspiration, something the Galaxy really needed. Thanks, Goldenballs. Last night was a reminder why I love the Galaxy and stick with them through thick and thin.

After arriving at the stadium and seeing how it wasn’t a sell out. Me and bud were saying that the Beckham hype must be running out, but after that goal I think its back on. A Friend of mine was at a Dodger game and said that they showed the goal on the big screen and the whole stadium cheered.
Nice Blog, just found it Thanks!.

Lucas,

When Mike Randolph plays, which is rarely, he plays left back or left midfield. I like his tenacity, but his passes are often errant and his ball control needs work, diminishing his ability to get into the attack on an overlap…

Oh. My. God.

Who are you and what have you done with the Galaxy?

That was a fun game. I’m not going to quibble about the facts that United mostly controlled the tempo and the ball, showed superior positioning, better passing, and had more shots. Not going to quibble at all because this was a Galaxy team I’ve been waiting to see play an entire game. Everything Laurie said holds true for me.

I still think they are going to miss the playoffs and that they will struggle to score goals on the road, but this, this makes up for things like the Columbus home loss.

And I love the fact that I was there in person to see Beckham score his first goal for a US side. (Does it count as an MLS goal, if it was SuperLiga play? I don’t think so.)

Mike Randolph played left back for us here in Portland last year and was almost always awesome and a real fan favorite, a bright spot in an otherwise abyssmal year. Where has he been lining up for Galaxy?
