Beckham Debut: What Could Have Been

Early in the second half, the LA Galaxy were down 1-0 to DC United with Beckham warming up on the sidelines. The perfect scenario for him to come on and play hero, right? Well, his teammate, Kyle Martino, thought he'd raise the ante further and got himself thrown out of the game for a nasty slide tackle. Even Becks couldn't turn the tide with a one-man disadvantage.

The buzz when Beckham started warming up on the sideline was pretty amazing. It seemed like the whole stadium stopped watching the game to watch him jog laps. How do I know this if I wasn't at the game? Well, the TV producer apparently forgot there was a game going on as well as the Beckham bliss was only occasionally interrupted by the soccer game.
