He made it !

What an event ! Saturday July 21st 2007 will be a date to remember in the History of sport in the USA. For the first time, soccer superstar David Beckham played under the Los Angeles Galaxy jersey (number 23) against the all-star british team of Chelsea.

I have to admit, the game itself was a little disappointing with, clearly, two teams still ajusting. Chelsea, at some moments, was quite impressing. But only for some movements on the field.

The suspense was : will David play ? With its left ankle injured, he stayed on the bench most of the time....until this 77th minute, when he entered for someting like 15 minutes. I thought he was kind of clearly handicaped, but I think he had a good time. So did the over-excited crowd of the Home Depot Center. Even with a 1-0 loss, it was a good day for the Galaxy...and for soccer in the US.
