Sunday Galaxy Gameday & More
For the benefit of Beckham
Today's 5 p.m. game between the Galaxy and celebrity-studded Hollywood United is more benefit for fire victims than competitive game.Still, apparently England Coach Steve McClaren is taking it seriously enough to check out David Beckham's status.
With England's European Championship hopes barely afloat the long, long trip isn't surprising.
But this piece of apparently drug-addled journalism (without citing a shred of evidence or source to back it up) is worth linking to just for its sheer lunacy. After all, the Galaxy has already employed a former national team coach who was tactically inept and had the player management skills of Archie Bunker, so we don't need England's cast offs.
The Galaxy have officially announced the game rosters.
Remember, tickets are $20, parking is free and firefighters get in free by showing their badge.
Besides, it's the last chance for Southern Californians to see the Galaxy and Becks in action until next year.
Here are one person's nominations for the Galaxy's top 10 goals of the season, although it's missing the incredible SuperLiga strikes made by Beckham and Chris Klein:
