No Beckham

Frank Yallop said today after training that David Beckham will not play against Chivas on Saturday.

Yallop also said that Beckham will probably see some time against Dallas, though.

It's disappointing for Southern California fans that Beckham arrived on July 13 and in four games since he will have played exactly 12 minutes. My guess is that the Galaxy figured they didn't need Beckham's presence to put people in the stands against Chivas since Chivas will do a good enough job of doing that on their own and they're sort of obligated to play him in Dallas as the stadium's all but sold out in anticipation of that game.

So yes, we're in the center of the Beckham madness but he'll be seen more often in Dallas, Toronto, New England, D.C., New York and London than he will here, even though the team made a big deal about him coming to L.A. and playing for the Galaxy. I suppose Galaxy fans should just be happy that he's on their team even if they'll have three chances to see him play in person.
