Let’s just get it over with. I went to see the Earthquakes with my friend Buena, and they bombed. They just looked horrible, and Buena was pretty upset. Sooo…I guess I’ll let her write about that and I’ll cover David Beckham instead.

First, I’m no soccer expert, but to my eye it looks like Beckham really does know how to bend the ball. And he has an impressive foot. Watching him kick the ball is like watching those 13-year-old snowboarders in the Olympics: I just know I’ll never do that.

So, in the first quarter, I thought I’d really enjoy watching Beckham play. He set up an early goal for Edson Buddle and seemed to have the air of a military general: hanging back, setting things up, watching the play. In the other three quarters, he looked like an old man! Standing around, far from the action, barely bothering to run. Was this because his team was ahead? Or does he just look slow because everybody else out there was so fast? Does he play like this in every game?

Anyway, in the last three quarters, watching David Beckham was a snooze. Does he have any defenders out there? I did a quick blog search and learned that Victoria Beckham is a terrible kisser–but didn’t find any opinions on her husband’s soccer skills!
