    And the Pop Kultchur Vultures keep harping the same tune:

    Has Posh kicked David’s dream move into touch?

    Well, it goes on... trouble is the little twist reporter evidently hasnt bothered to watch the results since Beckham returned.

    Anyone watching the Gals games knows which is the correct answer. Yeah.. he'll go back to play in Europe in January, and that will be the last time.

    All due respect to those who still think Becks is wasting skills.. but, this weekend, Beckham again shows he's doing what he came here to do. Gals beat the Canucks 2-0

    DB finally filling the role with LA that GBS did so well last year. Still say, if quality wins out, it will be Crew v Gals in MLS Cup final.

    Crew?!? Wow - you are delusional.

    Make up your mind! You love the crew, you are abandoning the crew, you go to every match, you will never go again...

    WTF?!!!

    My match attendance is totally separate issue from my 'fandom'.. there's other issues.

    And how is it delusional to base MLS final predictions on results?

    Both Houston and Columbus have good chances to advance to the quarterfinals, but Wow! - Mexico dominates the Concacaf Champions League like England dominates the UEFA one; don't win every time but put 4 teams in the quarterfinals.

    Hehehehe... Just getting your goat.

    Crew will be tough, but knowing the MLS playoffs - finishing at the top of the table does not seem to tell you a whole lot.

    Becks & GBS may be the two most skillful players to grace the MLS since Carlos Valderrama retired.

    Really?

    I guess you did say, 'skillful,' and Becks does have a world changing skill with his crossing and dead ball precision.

    GBS - I am not so sure if it is skill with him or determination, quickness, and vision. He does have moments of individual skill, but it seems he is the complete opposite of Becks.

    If I had to pick, I would take GBS every time. Becks seems to only be as good as those around him that can take advantage of his service.

    Apples to Oranges is what I am saying I suppose.

    I am glad that all the Beckham brouhaha has blown over. Unless he comes up on the highlights, I dont even know he is in the league...

    I suppose I get what you're saying. It's kinda significant that last season GBS was the assists leader. This season because of the slow start he is a scoring leader.

    Meantime, here's a kinda charming 4 year old GBS fan, captured on video

    Crew has 2 of the most impressive players I have seen in the MLS - Granted I lean toward those that put in a shift:
    GBS
    Frankie - he is the man, even at his advanced age... American Thru and Thru.
