    I can't believe anyone could possibly care THAT much. Confetti raining down, and they were 25 minutes into a game? Yikes.

    Wow.  That was fascinating.

    Doesn't anyone have a YouTube of a guy getting kicked in the nuts?  Preferably David Beckham getting kicked in the nuts.

    Thanks in advance.

    David Beckham has got to be loving the MLS.  Over in Europe, that would be an easy save...over here, easy goal.  How can that goalie completly guess wrong on a ball like that.

Video of Beckham’s First Goal
The Offside — ... | August 16th, 2007 So this might not be considered Beckham s first MLS goal, since it was scored in SuperLiga and not in league play. But it was without question his first goal scored for an MLS team. (Which is what I ll tell my great-grandkids when I describe seeing it live.) Here s the video, which was showing on the screens at the Home Depot Center as I was leaving last night. Be sure to check out Posh and add your own editorial comments. (You would think she could at least pretend to care about her husband s work, since it s not as if it s her skill and talent paying for those designer duds and chartered planes and the twenty-something-million-dollar house and the seventeen servants.) P.S. i ve watched this something like a dozen times now and I still have to say: This was so awesome to see!!!
