SoxFan1 Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Those commentators are more ridiculous than when the Cubs hit a walk-off. My god. And what the hell was the goalie doing? Has he never seen a free kick before? I mean, it was a nice shot, but the goalie looked absolutely clueless. I hate Beckham with a passion. For the pretty boy image, for the overratedness on the pitch, for the dumbass contract, for all the stupid hype, and mainly because people know more about his wife than his days at ManU...when he actually used to be a really good player. I haven't watched any of the games he's played in the US, and I don't plan on it. He doesn't interest me at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kick was nice, good bend high and away. Everyone in the stadium, watching knew what Beckham was going to do. I could of predicted where the ball would be placed as Beck pretty much hits his free kicks the same way. The only one who had no clue what was going on was the goalie who didnt even move on the kick. He almost was in awe. Now with watching MLS football, and how bad they are on set pieces I can see why this could be. It was a tough shot, but not even to move is just bad. To me Beckham still has a nice crisp pass, and a nice free kick. He doesnt play off the ball that well anymore, his fitness is bad and he doesnt move free without the ball.

I just re-watched it, and the goalie is worse than I thought. He took a hop step in the wrong direction, and then just stood there looking like an idiot. I love how he tried to look pissed by punting the ball away. I don't know, just looks a little fishy to me. Looks almost as if it was staged. And confetti? Really? I didn't notice until now. I'm hoping that was just some fans throwing s*** around. Hell, I still can't believe the confetti from the unveiling press conference for Becks.
