Beckham Bends It Against Sydney FC November 29, 2007

DAVID Beckham showed the way, not just for football in Australia, but for any sport daring enough to dream.
The match between Sydney FC and LA Galaxy last night could easily have been written off as a one-man gimmick staged purely for the benefit of its star performer’s backers. A contest sacrificed for corporate greed. Instead, 80,295 people put their faith and hard-earned cash in the athlete within.

I was informed about the match on television, however not having a television in the room didn’t aid much into the soccer deprive situation. The match results was the headline for the day on the Advertiser (Adelaide’s local newspaper), actually i meant Beckham’s freekick goal.
Anyway, Sydney FC hammered LA Galaxy by 5 – 3. You can choose to watch the highlight of the exhibition match here. Just in case you are interested in nothing else but only Beckham, you can choose to watch his freekick goal over here.
A debate was started in the tea room by me over Beckham’s abandonment of top flight soccer. As reported, he’s currently earning nearly a million dollars a week, and that’s really awesome i must comment. However, can money fill the empty void of playing at top flight against the world’s best?
Maybe, money sure does make the world go round. Maybe he moved to States for his family, especially for his wife. Maybe he wants to promote soccer to the other parts of the world (Australian loves Rugby and Cricket). Maybe there will be too many maybes to go about, which isn’t too good to go rattling.
Afterall, Beckham still has the approbation from the world, and i cannot deny his career’s success. Let just hope the unpopular sport in some parts of the world will become popular someday somehow, all thanks to Beckham.
My respect goes out to you, kudous.

Dida
I’m putting my work aside just to rant about this serious issue.
The Grammy/Oscars/Golden Horse and all the related awards should be presented to Dida, indeed he has the no nonsense acting skills. You’ll never know, one day he might be part of Ocean’s Fourteen.
If you do not catch what i am ranting about, just view the video above and notice what happens to Dida (AC Milan goal keeper). Apparently, a fan ran past him and knocked him at the neck area (minimal contact), he decided to give chase, then thought about it for a moment before deciding to drop dead on the floor and clutch on to his face. What siol?!
