David Beckham picked a good time to score his first MLS goal. It came in the L.A. Galaxy's home opener against San Jose. Remember the British Jewel arrived stateside with a few hundred millions dollars worth of fanfare yet injuries last season led to a disappointing year for American soccer fans.  Is Beckham's presence a novelty once again? Keep in mind the team opened the season by getting clubbed in Colorado 4-0.  And truth is Beck's passing not necessarily his scoring is what Galaxy fans might want to get used to seeing. Landon Donovan might be the beneficiary there. He's the teams biggest American star and the perfect guy for Beckham to set up although they took good care of each other Friday night.
Now that he's finally healthy this is as good a time as any to ask.
If you are not a soccer fan already is Beckham enough to make you care any more about Futbol. And I don't mean American Football.

Even if he leads the Galaxy to the a title. They've already been there done that.  What's different now?

David Beckham playing soccer in this country has been the most overhyped event in recent sports history. It's a sport that simply will not be popular in this country, not when it competes against the NFL, NBA, and baseball.

So they're paying a guy a ton of dough, and he's not even the best player in his own country, let alone the world. Glad I'm not paying his salary, otherwise I'd feel ripped off.

I'm glad Rick has finally admitted that soccer exists in the U-S-A! The Beckham "investment" will pay dividends over the long term and his impact is yet to be fully felt. For now, I will settle happily with the fact that one sportscaster at L-A's top rated newscast (RICK GARCIA) is including soccer in his sportscasts. BTW when is winning more than one championship a bad thing????

Beckam??? one goal??? I think its amazing that he scored one goal without an injury.

no fragile squeeky voiced, injury prone athlete is worth that much money...and most Americans resent him because of it. if he was a phenom. maybe public sentement would change.

WHEN I WAS IN SCHOOL... SOCCER WAS MY FAVORITE NEXT TO BASEBALL. BUT, I USUALLY DON'T ENJOY GAMES THAT I CAN NO LONGER PLAY, UNLESS BET MONEY ON IT. THAT'S THE ONLY... ONLY THING THAT MAKES IT INTERESTING AND EXCITING TO ME.
