Beckham Cannot Remedy All the Galaxy's Problems

Submitted by ER, Aug 21, 2007 10:43

1) The people in Harlem are yelling Baseball and "we're Dominicans" b/c a reporter yelled to Beckham "how does it feel to be in a predominate basketball area?" The locals respond to this question by yelling "baseball" we're Dominicans baesball!" That moment was captured in a video on another website.

2) Any soccer fan will tell you that 9 goals scored indicates both teams played horrible defense. Hint the coaches statements regarding the goals. Beckham statements also reveal how rare 9 goals are by saying he hadn't been in a game like that since he was "9 or 10 years old" thats not exactly a good thing as he only started playing soccer at age 7. So basicly one could concluded that by Beckham's standards pre-teens play that kind of back and forth no defense type of soccer. We Americans have to get over the old idea that there is not enough scoring in soccer. I mean how many times have I had to watch a 4 hour NFL game where the score is 17 to 3 or a 3 to 5 hours baseball game where the score is 3 -0 on a good day. Usually a low score in any sport means at least one or both teams played solid defense which regardless of the sport should always be appreciated.
