Superliga Madness: LA 6, Dallas 5
I saw this game tonight, and I’m still trying to figure out how it happened. In fact, I’m trying to decide if it actually did happen. Yes, MLSnet has posted the box score as well, but I’m still not 100% sure that I believe it.
LA looked horrible against Chivas de Guadalajara this past weekend, but then, once again without Beckham, score 4 goals in the opening 18 minutes against Dallas tonight. Dallas pulls within one in the 82nd minute, but Landon Donovan scores goal number 5 for LA 2 minutes later, seemingly putting the game away. But then, Carlos Ruiz scores one minute into stoppage time for Dallas, Carlos Pavon scores 4 minutes later for LA, but Dallas once again scores only a minute later through Abe Thompson. However, referee Kevin Stott blew for full time shortly thereafter.
I know a lot of fans were there hoping to get a glimpse of Beckham, but I don’t think they have much room to complain after seeing eleven goals!
But just to make sure, can anybody confirm that this result actually took place?

Good result for LA, maybe they already got some Beckham confidence boost without him even playing.
Found this story on Yahoo about Beckham’s injury:
