Football Friday: England & Becks, Bruins & Trojans
MLS suits will discuss the David Beckham rule today. Whatever happens, it's the first domino to fall in what will be a busy Galaxy off-season.
Meanwhile, Becks has returned to the England midfield for today's noon game against Austria (it's only available on closed circuit television in pubs and bars locally).
And not everyone is happy about the move.
College beat writer Chris Jackson takes a look at the local women involved in the NCAA Tournament, which starts today.
Here's more on the USC game and the UCLA match.
I'll be back later today with more on the England game, MLS Cup activities and the U.S.-South Africa contest, which will be televised at 6 a.m. Saturday on Fox Soccer Channel.
