Beckham Proves Himself to Impatient MLS Fans

The Los Angeles Galaxy advance to the SuperLiga finals after defeating DC United 2-0

VIDEO - View Beckham's free kick goal!

At work, at home, out with friends or at the Indoor Soccer Arena I play at, all I hear about from new to the bandwagon LA Galaxy fans is how disappointed they've been with David Beckham. They know he came over to the MLS with an existing injury, but that was ignored through all the Entertainment Tonight and Access Hollywood fan fair that the news media is so good about exploiting.

So here we are, after weeks of me defending Beckham's injury to my friends (and I'm actually a Donovan and Xavier fan) we see the $250 million dollar man show us what we already knew was coming - pure genius.

Last nights display by Beckham with both his patented free-kick and assist to Donovan shows that our deficient midfield is now prepared to serve the ball to our strikers.

We all know how dangerous Donovan is on breakaways and Beckham's pass to Landon shows that these two can help put wins back on the board to get the LAG into the playoffs. Landon had been struggling with his roving role in the midfield and on the wing these past few games. His strength is playing as a center striker and hopefully our coach, Frank Yallop will back down from forcing Pavon into that position.

So lets pray that David's ankle will remain healthy enough to play the rest of the season. Our next game in New York on Saturday will be a tell-tale sign if Beckham can keep the momentum going.

Go Galaxy!
