Without a doubt, David Beckham is not the greatest soccer player. Without a doubt, Beckham is overrated. Without a doubt, Beckham's $6.5 million a year contract with Los Angeles Galaxy has begun to sell all sorts of Bechham's gear at prices one could not even imagine. And without a doubt, jersey no. 23 for now will be selling like a hot cake, and will be a household figure among soccer moms who have taken their soccer fanaticism to another level. Go Beckham, go! You are the man of the hour!And Beckham did arrive Los Angeles in a show Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, newly-wed actress Eva Longoria, Michael Jordan and a cast of celebrities stormed the Home Depot Center to watch the injured Beckham's only 16 minutes debut for the Galaxy in a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Chelsea last Saturday.
He had on Jersey number 23. No. 23 is a magic number. Jordan had it and gave Chicago Bulls 6 championships. Maybe, the magic will work for the Galaxy and Cobi Jones, Landon Donovan and the rest will win more trophies with Beckham's banana kicks as Jordan did for the Bulls with Air Jordan.
The game was explosive. The traffic was jammed. Hawkers made brisk business selling Beckham gears. The pubs were filled to the brim. Beckham cam was all over, the former English skipper had his name written everywhere as the City of Angels welcomed Beckham, Major League's Soccer $6.5 million a year man. The exhibition game was a commercial success for L.A. Galaxy and Major League Soccer. For sure, tickets will be sold out in any Beckham game.
Beckham may not be wearing his Kangaroo leather boots because "it's a crime in California to sell soccer cleats made from kangaroo leather." Also, the injured Beckham may not be playing for his new team soon until he is properly healed from his ankle injury.
