Beckham Could Play Next Week For Los Angeles Galaxy
Oct. 05, 2007
David Beckham is poised to make a dramatic and earlier-than-expected return to the Galaxy lineup and could be playing again within the next two weeks.
The Galaxy, whose Major League Soccer season has been ravaged by injuries, including those to Beckham's left ankle and right knee, has managed only seven victories but still has a chance to reach the playoffs.
Galaxy President Alexi Lalas said Thursday that he was hopeful Beckham could play in one or both of the team's final home games -- Toronto on Oct. 13 and New York on Oct. 18.
During a wide-ranging interview Thursday with Beckham, the 32-year-old English midfielder appeared in good spirits, despite being sidelined for five weeks. Beckham said he was looking forward to the Galaxy's late November trip to Australia and New Zealand, to playing for England in the European Championships next summer in Austria and Switzerland and in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
After winning their last three matches, the LA Galaxy returns to Southern California for a week of training before heading back on the road for an end of the week Western Conference match up. The Los Angeles Galaxy will take on the Houston Dynamo on Sunday, October 7 at Robertson Stadium (FSN West and Telefutura) and will look to extend their winning streak to four games.

The Galaxy opened their stadium, the Home Depot Center on June 7. But in order for their home to be ready, the team had to play a record 8 games to start the season and failed to win a game. In fact, the Galaxy finish the season without a win away from home the whole season. After the season's final game, the Galaxy had the final playoff spot in the West. In their aggregate series with the Earthquakes, they seemed well on to vindication for the MLS Cup loss 2 years earlier as they held 4 goals to 0 lead midway through the 2 nd game. A thing happened as the Earthquakes scored four unanswered goals to force a tiebreaker. In that session, the Earthquakes' Rodrigo Farina score to send the Quakes onto the next round.
In 2004 Looking to return to the top, the Galaxy would go through a mediocre 1 st half of the season before 3 straight wins over the summer. But from July 14 on, the Galaxy won only 2 more games, one in September and one in October. The Galaxy had a record of 11-9-10, good enough for 2nd in the West and the playoff, remaining the only club in MLS to have a playoff spot in every year of league in the playoffs, the Galaxy withstood an early challenge from the Rapids to win the aggregate goal series, 2-1, scoring 2 times in Game 2. In the conference final, the Galaxy's season would come to an end in Kansas with a 2-0 loss to Arnaud and the Wizards.
