Beckham at Stanford on Saturday!!

This Saturday, the San Jose Earthquakes are playing the LA Galaxy at Stanford. And you know what that means...David Beckham!!

We are huge soccer fans here, but does one really need to be to see Beckham? I mean, see Beckham play soccer. The answer is clearly no, because this match at Stanford Stadium is sold out. Seriously?

The San Jose Earthquakes are doing very well, but Beckham is probably the draw. The Euro Cup is on right now and there's some great soccer on television every night, but I'm glad to see the rest of the Bay Area getting into the spirit, even if it is for the "wrong" reason.

I never got the whole beckham thing. Is he even that good? And why did he come to the US? They don't play good soccer here. The best US players, both men & woman, go to Europe to play.

He WAS that good. Too many injuries to be great any longer. And he was just voted top athlete married women would cheat with -- second place Tim Tebow. Random trivia.

I saw that! I'd pick Tim Tebow over David Beckham anyday! But im single so it's not cheating :)

Yep, just like aging baseball players go to Japan (yeah, think Tom Selleck - funny movie); aging soccer players come here.

I know this is blasphemy, but I don't get the Tim Tebow thing. Beckham -- well, he should be cast in marble. Not that I want to cheat with him, but he is a beautiful man.

LOL Perfect description Leslie. The English take their soccer seriously and Beckham is old news there sadly.

[Tonya]

Lol, that's not blasphemy! I think I don't think David beckham is that beautiful is bc my brother kinda looks like him, haha! But TT, I had known of him & thought he was cute & all but when I watched his documentary....he had me. He has the most amazing heart. Football fans probably see that & it makes him hotter :)
