SuperLiga Superman

I'm going to disagree with Luis again - I think David Beckham will play on Saturday - not the whole game, but perhaps 30 minutes.

It's typical for players to add on week by week in 15 minute increments when they're recovering from injury.

The thing is, Galaxy practices have been closed to the media since Wednesday, so it's possible that Becks has been practicing with his teammates. Otherwise, why close the practice? (Yes, those teenage girls that mob Kelly Gray are annoying, but otherwise harmless).

SuperLiga is an important tournament, and Chivas Guadalajara wil be there full-strength on Saturday, in front of far more people than could ever fit in Dallas. It matters to the Galaxy to play well in their home town, even if it's not in their home stadium.

"It’s really important to us," said Kyle Martino. "This is a chance to show that in North America, we’re a club team to reckon with. We take all these games very seriously. This isn’t just a friendly. These guys aren’t treating it like preseason. They’re bringing their big guns and everyone is playing. This is a serious tournament."

Here's what Kyle had to say about the new guy getting some playing time.

"I know he’s trying hard to get ready for that match. If he’s fit, he’ll definitely be out there."
