Landon, Beckham Score in 5-3 Loss before 80,000 in Sydney

Well, OK, anywhere else in the world that headline would read, "Beckham scores before 80,000 in Sydney," but Landon Donovan is a Redlands guy, and he can play a little ... and he scored, too.

But it wasn't Landon or the rest of the mere-mortal Galaxy teammates who drove the stampede to the turnstiles in Sydney, it was Becks, Mr. Global Soccer.

And everyone went home happy, after the exhibition, because Beckham scored on one of his bend-it-like-me free kicks.

Read more about it here from the Sydney Morning Herald. They even have a photo of Becks' free kick headed over the keeper's head.

Game ended in the middle of the night, our time.

Next, Becks & the Lads move on over to New Zealand, where another sellout crowd no doubt awaits.

Too bad the Galaxy apparently is more than a little rusty ... because I think the club normally would beat these Aussie and Kiwi pro teams.

It just goes to show how bad a squad the Galaxy are with Alexi in charge. They can not even but a team that has been around that long and play in a league considered to be a notch below the MLS. yes its great for selling Kits but it set the team back in terms of respect as a real team.
