Beckham didn't do much for team · 2007-10-23 16:14
David Beckham hasn't done much for the Los Angeles Galaxy yet.
Injured since late August, the former England captain returned at a time the team was on a seven-game unbeaten streak without him and with a chance of making the Major League Soccer playoffs.
Beckham came off the bench in the 58th minute against the Chicago Fire on Sunday with the score 0-0. The Galaxy, which needed a victory, conceded an injury time goal to lose 1-0, The Canadian Press informs.
So that's it. Apart from some friendlies in New Zealand and Australia at the end of November, Beckham won't be wearing a Galaxy shirt again until next season and the fans haven't got much to look forward to.
Arriving in MLS with an ankle injury, Beckham made five appearances in the regular season and scored one goal before a knee problem sidelined him for another seven weeks. The Galaxy won only one game, while he was on the field, a 2-0 victory over DC United in which he scored with a free kick and set up the other goal.
By the time Beckham returned to action after his knee injury, the Galaxy had rebounded with five victories in a row. May be they didn't need him all along.
