    It's a beautiful thing for the beautiful game.

    expectations have been so high for him;  it' so great to see a healthly Beckham doing all we've come to expect.

    I dig the tongue pic of him here

    I agree that this type of play is what fans have been craving 

    His fans like me always knew he had some great play left in him.  Many more years of it at LA, hopefully

    He really deserved it this time. Even more than last month.  He saved his team's point and the goals were truly spectacular.

    It's week 6 and he's won 2x - 24 weeks to go.

    Hope this keeps up -  Galaxy in the playoffs would be great.

    can't wait to see them against Red Bulls this wknd.

    they are only 1 point out of first in the West -Best they've been in awhile.

    against Red Bulls last time in NY was that 68,000 crowd

    and Beckham had his first assists in that match

    It's sad to see practically every great Beckham story on Ballhype getting voted down - like this one and the beard story which both have 2 down votes - it's as thought the haters can't control themselves and admit when he's doing great
