David Beckham started his first ever LA Galaxy game last night against DC United. About half an hour into the game, Beckham attempted and scored on a free kick. Fifteen minutes later, Beckham passed the ball to Landon Donovan who scored the second goal of the game. This is the start of a new era in MLS.
Beckham's first start. Beckham's first goal. Beckham's first assist. LA Galaxy goalkeeper Joe Cannon ran across the field to join in on the celebration. "The guy hadn't even taken a free kick in practice," Cannon said. "Think about what happens when he can start playing every day and start doing those things."
As I stated a while ago, Beckham's worth is more for the off-field buzz and attention rather than his on-field abilities. My feelings haven't changed, but its good to know he can still bring it on the field.
