Beckham shrugs off his dead-leg injury from the game against Shanghai Hong Kong, to play a full 90 minutes against Hong Kong Union. The score standing at 1-1, in the closing seconds of normal time, Hong Kong sneak ahead with a penalty for hand-ball. Looking like the game is secure, injury time is played out only for Hong Kong to concede a penalty after three minutes.
Beckham steps up and strokes the ball home (he was the only Galaxy player to score in their last penalty shoot-out a week ago against FC Seoul). Penalties again, this time The Galaxy make a better show of it (Beckham scores again...) and they only lose 5-4 this time...
The Galaxy have not rocked the world on their world tour, but manger Ruud Gullit has had the chance to test out the new blood in the squad and ascertain that their star player is as fit as he needs to be for the start of the MLS. All set for Dallas then and Beckham's chance to show that he is fit enough to play for Engand.

I honestly don't know whether they will pick him for the France game or the proposed USA game. I am sure he will play a game against the USA, I wouldn't bet on him playing the game against France, but I would like to see it happen...
