Tonight's the Night
At the very least, that is what we're be told so that David Beckham is never far from the headlines. Still, it is expected that the English star will play major minutes in tonight's game against DC United.
"I think I can play at least half a game tomorrow, which is important for me,' Beckham, 32, told reporters on Tuesday after taking part in his first training session with the Galaxy at the Home Depot Center.
'It's important for the team that I at least get on the pitch and help contribute. It was good to get out on to the field today and have a bit of practice.
'This is my first time, since I arrived, to be out on the training pitch and it felt good.' "
Beckham went on to say he is about 70-80%. What? I know that, much like when there is a hotshot rookie QB waiting in the wings that fans clamor to see him on the pitch, but more often than not that proves folly. Tim Couch or Carson Palmer? Easy decision (It burns...it burns!). SO if I am the Galaxy, I would protect my investment and only put Becks out there when he's fully fit.
As an aside, much was made of Posh taking full advantage of the move to L.A. to do TV, announce a Spice Girls reunion, etc, so that some thought that she was as much a driving force behind the move as any footballing reason. If Roy Keane had his way, footballers wouldn't be such wimps.
