Beckham Makes Presence @ Galaxy

It was a rain-soaked evening in Washington when David Beckham made his presence felt, yesterdat at the RFK Stadium in Washington.

It was also a stormy weather here in Manila.

His made his presence to sellout crowd of 46,686 all watching his every move on his No. 23 jersey which has made huge sales across California.

Their team Galaxy trailed by a goal as Beckham entered the game at 71:01 and ultimately loss the game, 1-0.

The midfielder's presence had no highs and dives as fans have seen in his games at Manchester United or Real Madrid. No fancy footwork or dribbles.

According to a report by Graham Jones published in the LA Times, “he did seem to settle a disorganized Galaxy midfield simply by his presence.”

"I was happy to be out there and at least get 20 minutes," Beckham said. "It's a big step forward for me tonight.



"It's not nice to disappoint people who have paid a lot of money to see the game, so I was thankful to actually get on the pitch. So it was a good night, but also a bad night because we ended up losing."

Beckham seemed to enjoy it all and was laughing with Cobi Jones on the Galaxy bench, perhaps amused by a huge sign that read: "We Sing Better Than Your Wife."

His famous wife, Victoria Beckham was not present.
