David Beckham went shirtless and the audience roared! Becks played the final 21 minutes in the Los Angeles Galaxy’s 1-0 loss to D.C. United at soggy RFK Stadium on Thursday night, the biggest debut for a foreign star in a U.S. soccer league since Pele arrived in 1975.
Even though Beckham couldn’t save the game but the sell-out crowd of 46,686 cheered roared when gorgeous Beckham stripped off his warmup jacket and T-shirt, displaying his bare chest, and prepared to enter as a second-half substitute. Beckham then put on his No. 23 jersey and replaced Quavas Kirk in the 72nd minute.
“It’s not nice to disappoint people,” Beckham said. “It’s not nice to disappoint people that paid a lot of money to come and see the game. I was glad to get on the pitch tonight. It was a good night, but it was a bad night, too, because we ended up losing the game.”
The crowd cheered and flashbulbs popped every time Beckham touched the ball, but he wasn’t able to make much of an impact for a Galaxy team that was shut out for the second straight game and is 3-6-5, the second-poorest record in the league.
In time Beckham will make a huge impact for L.A. Galaxy, right now he still hasn’t fully recovered from his injury & he hasn’t trained for eight weeks. It’s lame for people to criticize him, he’s got the track record & he’s going to perform.
