MLS Wrap Up, Donovan, & Becks

Once again Landon Donovan is a hero!  He scored the winning and only goal of the MLS Championship vs Houston Dynamos.  The goal was set up by a flick on header from David Beckham and the perfect through ball from Robbie Keane.

Having Becks and Keane playing for the Galaxy has been HUGE for American soccer.  Unfortunately, Beckham's contract is up and there are rumors Becks and his brood might be heading to France next.  This would le suck.  Not only has Becks been a boost to American soccer, but style goddess wife, Victoria Beckham has made a huge statement here in the states.  I very much look forward to peeping pics of Posh donning 7 inch heels out with baby Harper in NYC.  Plus the Beckham boys love boogie boarding in the California surf....they are going to be highly disappointed in France.  Really the only benefit is for Posh since she has been taking the fashion world by storm; living in Paris is probably ideal for her.  I think it's only right if Becks finishes his career in a Man United jersey, but since that's out of the question I hope Galaxy keeps Becks around!  I have no respect for many French born players, especially after their 2010 World Cup antics and child rape allegations.

Back to Lando - yes, having top paid players in the MLS such as Becks and Thierry Henry has been exciting, but Landon Donovan will forever be the face of American soccer.  Hopefully he has one last run in him for World Cup 2014!
