So, Beckham got Madrid the La Liga Title, now what?

seth-edward-oneal.jpgDavid Beckham finally won his first major trophy for his pals from Real Madrid.

After Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes watched the final game David Beckham will ever play in a Real Madrid uniform where he won the 2007 Spanish La Liga title, Becks now begins his road to Hollywood where he will attempt to have the same circus he had with Madrid for his new team, the Los Angeles Galaxy.

Of course, we all know MLS soccer ain't shit compared to the major soccer leagues we have like the La Liga and the English Premiership. Of course, David Beckham has been through 'em all (Beckham played for Manchester United in the English Premiership for all ya'll who doesn't know...) and with the Englishman in the United States, getting MLS Soccer to the same level as these international football worlds will be a rather difficult task.

An impossible one at that. Besides, the Los Angeles Galaxy is a rather pathetic step coming from a powerhouse team like Real.

While David Beckham celebrated their Spanish La Liga conquest with Real Madrid, Los Angeles just ended a five-game winless run with a 3-2 victory over last place Real Salt Lake in the MLS Western Conference. That kinda' changes the perspective a bit huh?

The win at least puts the L.A. Galaxy three points ahead of a last-place Salt Lake side which hasn't won in 15 games. It was only the Galaxy's second victory of the season, however, and the team needs Beckham to arrive as soon as possible if it wants to make up any ground on the title chasing clubs.

Boy, do they need him BAD...

''We have a lot of work to do in certain areas,'' Los Angeles Galaxy head coach Frank Yallop said after the long overdue victory. ''I'm happy all around but now we need to regroup and get ready for our game next Saturday. It's nice to have a smile on my face for a change.''

Well, that smile could very well be wiped off his face again when David Beckham arrives in L.A. with yet another nagging ankle injury. Jeez... These guys can't catch a goddamn break.

Can David Beckham lead the Los Angeles Galaxy towards the MLS title? Bodog has the odds on every fixture. Bet now.
