Seriously. MOTM for LA easy.

I probably wouldn't have given him above a 4 for any performance so far this year, but he turned in a solid 6.5 today only missing a 7 because a few "clearances" just kinda rolled out to the top of the 18. He played his ass of though, and if he keeps that up will help LA turn their season around.

lol soccer...such a joke of a game.


from the yahoo "news" story...


"His daunting challenge to convert America into a soccer-mad nation began with an uneventful 12-minute performance that rated off the charts in electricity and excitement."

then...

"Beckham got into the exhibition in the 78th minute, jogging onto the field amid huge cheers and a sea of camera flashes from the crowd of 27,000."



27k? lol & hahahahaha

(hahahahhahahahaha)

go home.

[New001]

The stadium they played the game in only seats 27,000.

[Karak567]

Another quick question, what is that song they always sing at matches... not Ole Ole... the other one.

They sang it at a rugby match I was at in Ireland too

Karak,

That's cool. I wish people would realize that not everyone's going to be into soccer. It's not an attack on soccer fans when someone else just doesn't enjoy the sport like you do.

Similarly, I wish people would at least give it an honest shot like you did. The Jim Rome's of the world who immediately dismiss the sport and belittle everything about it are complete tools.

I really don't understand why more isn't being made of gods gift to earth, Jennifer Love-Hewitt. Was ANYONE paying attention during the broadcast.

It's LA's home stadium. Chelsea/Club America sold 47k a week ago. They easily could have sold that many for this game.
