The Wait is Over - Becks Debuts in MLS

Well the wait is over folks. After missing four games (3 SuperLiga and 1 regular season) David Beckham has finally played his first c0mpetive match for the LA Galaxy, coming on as a sub in the 72 minute in a 1-0 loss to DC United.

While Becks couldn't stop his team from losing, he did show a lot of promise. Especially in terms of energizing the LA attack; who were forced to play most of the 2nd half down a man. The Galaxy's best chance came when Beckham laid a ball into the box for Landon Donovan who was taken down with a questionable tackle that Donovan felt deserved a penalty kick; sadly for Landon it was not to come (see what happens when you dive too much.....).

If Beckham can start starting for the Galaxy we could see them turn things around. He was particularly effective in involving Landon Donovan in the play. A pair which could prove to be a nightmare for opposing teams. Of course the Galaxy will have to survive their tough schedule I talked about a few days ago.

Either way I'm glad the wait is over.

On a separate note I wanna give props to DC supporters for coming up with the "we sing better than your wife" banner at last nights game. Classic.
