David Beckham finally made his league debut last Thursday for his new team LA Galaxy. “League” of course being the MLS or Major League Soccer, which I always think is an odd name for a sports league, as it sounds like the words are in the wrong order.
Coming on for only the last 20 minutes of the game, Becks couldn’t help Galaxy and they went down to a 0-1 defeat against D.C. United. Last night they suffered another 0-1 loss, to New England Revolution. (Why are they undergoing a revolution??)
These two results don’t leave LA Galaxy in very good standing. At least, I don’t think so. I’ve tried looking up the league table, but all I can see is that they’re second from bottom in the Western Division according to the MLS Standings. There’s two separate tables! What’s that all about? Better yet, there’s a team called Real Salt Lake. Hmmm, gotta love those real ones. (Or perhaps it’s “re-yal” Salt Like, like Real Madrid. Classy.)
