Saturday night soccer — Beckham returns, Galaxy in first
The World's Beautiful Game —
The LA Galaxy - who last week had to do without both Beckham (due to his England call-up) and Landon Donovan (due to injury) - then lost their first match in over a month. However, tonight they did win at the Home Depot Center, even without Donovan, who is resting in New York preparing for Sunday’s USA v ARGENTINA match.
Beckham was in fine form, and LA scored 3 unanswered goals before the Colorado Rapids made a valiant at a comeback in the final 40 minutes. This last stanza of the game - especially the last 10 minutes - was by all appearances a heart-pounding affair for both sides. ...

New Forward Wonderkids
Hillcrest Road —
With the trade today for former FCD striker Abe Thompson, we added our second attacking player in the last two days. Add the trade for Herculez Gomez into the mix, and we've acquired two 26-year-old forwards who are very different but exciting players. Combined, they have 36 goals and 19 assists in just over six total seasons. Gomez is the scrapper--a feisty player who gets under opponents' skin and finishes well. Thompson is a physical presence--a tall, strong striker capable of holding the ball up or running at goal. He is great with both feet and with his head in the air. Check out some of their highlights. ...
