THE LA GALAXY TAKES OUT THE SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES...

by Pierre Baltadano


After a humiliating start to their season losing 4 nil to Colorado (thanks new keeper Cronin for saving none of those), the Galaxy came back in their home opener by beating the San Jose Earthquakes, which had Galaxy goalkeeper Joe Cannon and coach Frank Yallop. The 2-0 victory was also great because we saw David Beckham and Landon Donovan starting to play off of each other in a significant way, each having an assist on each other's goals. I am glad that this is the first game that I attended because it would have killed to have seen the last one in person. Oh and I don't know if I, like most sites, would consider this David Beckham's first MLS goal. You see, during Beckham's second game back in August, I saw him score a goal for the Galaxy in the Superliga but I think it's not being counted because it wasn't a REGULAR season game. Whatevs. Also in attendance was Beckhams lady friend Victoria and the LA Laker's Kobe Bryant (MVP!).

Here's the vid of David Beckham's FIRST goal playing for the Galaxy.
