The problem is Engerland will try to recall him ASAP, and Becks will heed the call if he's somewhat able. This whole thing stinks. They shoulda let him heal, including England for sending him back for a friendly. Idiots.
You think they'll wheel him around to all the games so people can say they got something for their money?
Halftime 1-0 Pachuca. Galaxy with no Beckham, L.A.'s goose is cooked I tell ya' Smoke'em if you got'em before that dumb ban kicks in
I PTL that AEG has allowed the Dynamo a smart staff. I bet the folks in L.A. are wishing they had the staff we have. Beckham should have been relaxing on the bench tonight.
dammit 3 people beat me to it!!!!! LAG front office, manager and team doctor absolutely SUCK! i understand it wasn't he's ankle, but someone that important shouldn't be out there if he's only already 50%. of course he was favoring his opposite leg. absolutely ridiculous. the team doctor/trainer should have the last say and needs to grow a pair of balls. DAMMIT JIM, I'M A DOCTOR NOT A MIRACLE WORKER!!!!!!
Among other things, given how good having Beckham in the league could have been, it's a shame he didn't sign with a good team like us, NE, DC, ChivasUSA or even the Red Bulls where he could be a complimentary player making a good (or decent) team even even better rather than what he's been asked to do out in Hollyworld.
just got in at about 39 min, in time to see Chaco somehow not score - incredible save by Cannon, but still should have been put away. so just saw the knee-on-knee that put Beckham out, we'll just have to see how it turns out, if it's something like a knee bruise or contusion. it didn't look like the kind of hit that ends up in a ligament tear. did want to say I disagree with the people saying they shouldn't have played him tonight. this is literally LA's only chance at silverware this yr. the circus of last Wed and Thu is what shouldn't have happened, especially playing him Thu.
Beckham is a real trooper and classy all the way. but he came from Spain as damaged goods and must have felt the presure of all the media hype and his team sucking so much. Why did he have to play that friendly against Germany?? does he want to reach 100 caps?? p.s. Houston fans just got mad props from Telefutura
Telefutura giving the TA/EB (not directly) props at halftime as they discussed the "atmosphere" at the Superliga matches. TA/EB was the only group that got screen time.
Whoo hoo!! Big time props from Telefutura. "The best team in Superliga was the Houston Dynamo, who sadly lost by a poorly taken penalty." "And the best supporters group was the Dynamo's, who provided music, noise, and, above all, respect...." (well, that was paraphrasing, I sort of lost track of all the props they were throwing at us, but it was cool. But it can't make up for missing out on the finals. We'd be smashing the Galaxy right now....)
That same ban is adopted in the UK too: http://majordickwinters.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=171&start=0
Agree with you there... it's the friendlies (Chelsea/Germany) and maybe a couple of the back-to-back league games he shouldn't have been playing in. Tonight was the only real chance of the season for Beckham and the Galaxy to achieve anything of significance this season.
Don't say that, my way of getting tickets for that game is that it is my birthday present from my wife
