LA Galaxy 0 Colorado 1

The Galaxy fielded a weakened side in the opening U.S. Open Cup match, due to international obligations (Beckham and Donovan play each other tonight at Wembley) but not the 'reserve' side that many teams often out into these games. Colorado on the other hand fielded many players that are not regulars, and from the start were under pressure from the Galaxy.

The Galaxy looked the superior team for all but the last 10 minutes but didn't take their chances, and in the 82nd minute, Colorado headed the only goal of the match ending the Galaxy cup run at the first hurdle.

Beckham will be out of contention whilst on international duty and will also miss the next game against Toronto on Saturday.

Beckham arrives in LA

The much-talked-about move takes place, David Beckham arrives at LA Galaxy to start the latest phase of his career. Although the deal has been signed and sealed since January, there was some speculation that Madrid may take steps to retain his services after a very successful season for Real Madrid. Despite this, the Beckhams arrive in LA to begin a new life in the USA.
Whether David Beckham alone is enough to raise the profile of soccer in the US is a debate that will continue for a while yet. there is no doubt however that the cult of Beckham is already creating a buzz across the nation.
We look forward to seeing the man himself in action letting his feet do the talking on the pitch, although there are concerns over the ankle injury he is currently carrying.
