VIDEO: Galaxy-Red Bulls highlights
The Beautiful Game —
David Beckham makes first start – but is he taking too much on?
Who ate all the Pies —
Becks made his first start for the LA Galaxy at the weekend but, despite a hat trick of assists, he couldn't prevent his team from losing 5-4 to the New York Red Bulls.
While nine goals in one game would have pleased the 66,000 sell out crowd, it's not a score line that you'd usually associate with professional football and most of the goals came from the type of defending that would give Alan Hansen a coronary.
It's going to raise a few more questions about the standard of the MLS and, with Beckham's ankle taking a pounding on the artifical surface used at the Giants Stadium, there are doubts whether he will be fit for England's midweek friendly.

The Red Bulls are so abject now that they really do not care if Beckham shows up today. They are desperate for a win. So this match played almost two years to the day will seem like a distant memory to Juan Pablo Angel who went toe to toe with David Beckham. His thoughts on Becks return:
"He's been here a couple of times already," Juan Pablo Angel said of Beckham. "I don't really care about what they bring, what they really do. I'm more concerned about what we do to change things around here."
