mackenzie, Beckham’s ankle is supposedly close to 80% better. Whatever that means. That said, he apparently plans to play today, then play the 22nd for England, then play the 23rd against Chivas.

We’ll see.

I wonder how Beckham will feel about playing soccer on an American football field.

beckham can play center mid easily in the mls…it may not work against top flight comp but it totally worked last game. i think he’s awesome there. it’s funny that one player makes such a difference to a team in this league…beckham almost makes players like kyle martino disappear. so weird.

Brian, I had huge questions about this lineup until I saw it play out on Wednesday. Amazingly, it actually worked, largely because everybody in the midfield was all over the field, as needed, and didn’t appear to be wedded to being “attacking” or “holding.” And Beckham really did work out in the center. It was fascinating to watch.

We’ll see what happens now that the other team is expecting it.

Why would Beckham play right center? He’s not an attacking midfielder, he’s a winger. Donovan is much more of an attacking midfielder. If Landon’s going to play advanced why not just start him there?
