I admit that I missed the Superliga semifinal between the L.A. Galaxy and D.C. United last night. I hate that – got busy with other stuff. I’ve also stayed out of the Beckham fray for the most part. I think it’s great he’s playing in the MLS and if you set aside all the hype, I think it’ll help the MLS and it should definitely help the Galaxy. But I didn’t see the need to go on and on about it – he’s here, he was hurt, he rested to recover, and now he’s ready to play. Game on! Yet his injury had many people wondering if he’d deliver. Well if last night was any indication, he will. Could the MLS have written a script any better than to have Beckham’s first MLS goal come in his first start on a free kick bent into the left side while the keeper went right from 25 yards out?
Plus he adds an assist to Donovan to make it 2-0. Many people have said they don’t think the Beckham/Donovan combo would work. If last night was any indication, it’s working quite well. Now let’s see how they do against CF Pachuca…
UPDATE: Josh over at ThroughBall has a number of other videos of Beckham’s big night.

Yes, I’m an equal opportunity MLS offender. Living in NC (Go Railhawks!), there’s no ‘home’ MLS team and I haven’t really settled on a team I’ll always root for.

Poor Troy Perkins. You know they’re going to be showing footage of David Beckham’s first MLS goal /forever/.
Didn’t your Railhawks do rather well in the Open Cup?

They’re still in it – face the Revolution in the semis Sept 4th.
