DAVID BECKHAM PLAYED
08.10.07
David Beckham made his debut for the L.A. Galaxy last night, entering the game in the 72nd minute with his team trailing D.C. United and down a man due to an earlier red card. As expected, his mobility was somewhat limited, but he showed flashes of the precision ball placement that once made him one of the best players in the world.
He supplied a little composure and one particularly sweet pass to Landon Donovan, but the abundance of weak links around him was too much to overcome as the Galaxy fell, 1-0… [In the 87th minute] Beckham's weighted ball from midfield nearly put Donovan through along the left side. United goalkeeper Troy Perkins was off his line aggressively, spilling Donovan while winning the risky challenge. Still, Beckham's pass was telling.
This is an outrage! I don't want to read about sellout crowds at MLS games and David Beckham's competitive fire raising the level play, dammit. I thought this coming-to-America thing was all about shopping on Rodeo Drive and sexy photo shoots and his wife's fake tits. Especially his wife's fake tits. What a crock.

Especially his wife's fake tits.
Technically speaking, If Tits can be natural or silicone, but if they are right in front of me…they are real.
Don't forget her projectile nipples!
I dont know anything about soccer……was Beckham really THAT good? Or was his fame just because he's a good looking dude with a famous wife?
I think Beckham just lucked out that he has the same last name as the guy in that movie "bend it like Beckham."
You do not talk about Ante Jazic's woman like that. I ain't even bullshittin' you dawg.
HHY — In my semi-uninformed opinion, Beckham's never had the speed or ball-handling to be an all-time great, but his free kicks and ball placement on set pieces are top-notch.
Soccer enthusiasts, feel free to amend/correct that statement.
Precision Ball Placement is also important in naked jogging. At least that's what my priest tells me.
"DICK'S"…nuff said
So at least a major portion of his pub has to do with his looks and the British tabloid machine…..its not like he's soccer's Michael Jordan, in terms of talent.
Beckham has probably always been over-hyped, but don’t forget that after his first world cup where he was red-carded he was the most hated man in England. They burned effigies of him. It takes more than sex appeal and a hot wife to over come that kind of hate. In his prime, he was one of the top players on one of the best clubs in the world. I still believe that once he’s healthy he’ll be one of the top 10 players in MLS, but that’s kind of like being the prettiest girl on the short bus.
He supplied a little composure and one particularly sweet pass to Landon Donovan…..
And the rest of what was said in that paragraph was complete gibberish to me. Was Beckham trying to pick up Donovan? Just because he's British and a soccer players doesn't automatically mean he's attracted to black men, necessarily.
So could he start for the Nazi team in 'Victory'?
Just because he's British and a soccer players doesn't automatically mean he's attracted to black men, necessarily.
Landon Donovan is white.
He's had his moments but, like Matt said, will never be considered an all-time great. Great right foot and work ethic but no pace or tackling ability. Set piece specialist but only so so with penalties. Often overconfident on the pitch but a money making machine off it despite the fact that he's not so charismatic or confident on camera; yet the camera still loves him. Questionable dress sense for one so beloved of the style mags but, like Liberace, he's crying all the way to the bank.
Yeah, but can he fake contact with the best of them?
Angel Eyes:
That was like a full on scouting report. Did you not get the memo that this site is for people who don't know what they're talking about?
Matt – don't forget his work rate, which has always been excellent as well.
HHY – the only thing I can add to what Matt and Vanilla have said is that the guy is the 5th most capped player (cap = appearance in international match) in the history of the English National Team – that's not something you achieve riding anyone's coattails. He was also its captain for the last 6 or 7 years.
The good-looking guy with a hot and famous wife certainly doesn't hurt his celebrity status, and it's a nice hammer to wield during contract negotiations.
I legit LOL'd at that banner. Now my co-workers think I'm crazy.
And by co-workers, I mean wiener dogs. Ahh, the joys of working from home. And of owning wiener dogs.
