Finally! So, Beckham is still alive, and actually playing for the L.A. Galaxy. After the horrible defeat suffered by this MLS team on its first game against Colorado Rapids (4-0, one of the worst losses in the history of the club), they made it better on their home opener, beating the San Jose Earthquakes 2-0.
Of course this probably wasn’t the welcome the Earthquakes were expecting after more than 2 years off the League. Just 9 minutes after the match started, David Beckham appeared, assisted by Landon Donovan, and scored the first goal. It was almost a miracle for Becks, after being a total wreck during his first games at the MLS. We were all really disappointed after all the fuzz made around his arrival to American Soccer last year, that ended up on nothing useful. But now results are finally beginning to show and that gives us some hope again.
The Donovan-Beckham duo teamed up again later on, when the English player assisted with a pass to Landon Donovan, who took a brilliant shot to the empty net, to score the second goal.
Of course, this result doesn’t mean sure victory for the future. But it’s a good start. Let’s see if they do that good with regular MLS teams that haven’t been off the field for a long time.
