Bench It Like Beckham

Our good friend David Beckham has confirmed that he won't be playing in the game against Toronto FC today.

Earlier this week, Dallas fans were tweaked that Beckham didn't make it over there. Well, I shouldn't say "Dallas Fans," or even "Galaxy Fans," since they were only at the game to see David Beckham. One has to wonder if he played, if they would have had the faintest idea of what the hell he was doing. I am reminded of those goofball Michael Jackson "fans" who show up everytime he is around. Are they really into his music, or just the stardom?

I suppose I would be ticked if I paid a scalper hundreds of dollars for a ticket and Becks didn't show. Of couse, it's not the league's or team's fault that scalpers were selling the tickets for so much. Dan Loney has a take on this on his blog too.

Here's the stupid part: that LA - FC Dallas game was a darn good one. Dallas came back from a four goal deficit to get back into the game. In all, eleven goals were scored, with plenty of on field outrage to make things interesting for even a casual fan, higlighted with Landon Donovan's premature throat-slash "game over" gesture. The game had all the elements that we fans love (for details, check the chapter entitled "Seven Goals and a Punch Up" in Nick Hornby's Fever Pitch.)

(Dallas fans were peeved (burned maybe?) about the gesture. Here is some reaction. Heck, the best reaction is exactly what happened, Dallas scored another goal.)


Oh, one more thing. The Houston Dynamo winning streak juggernaut was stopped yesterday by...Real Salt Lake?

Oh, now that Freddy Adu is gone, NOW they start winning.


Hasta la proxima. Do zobaczenia.

I have a question. What's up with the Polish-Mexican theme? I have no problem with it since I am Mexican and have many Polish friends, but why did you start it? Are you Polish/Mexican? Good combo.

Yeah...father is of Polish extraction, mother is of Mexican extraction.
