As always, Mark Zeigler of the San Diego Union-Tribune paints a great picture of the game tonight.
Some excerpts:
If he were any other player in any other league in any other instance, the decision would be simple: David Beckham would not play tonight for the Los Angeles Galaxy against English club Chelsea at The Home Depot Center in Carson, much less suit up.
... But this is Beckham, and this is the game billed as his grand debut in Major League Soccer, and this is a league desperate for national attention. Common sense long ago was slide-tackled by the ever-powerful legs of marketing, promotions and pure, old-fashioned hype.
