Beckham Debuts on Field in Los Angeles

International soccer phenomenon David Beckham takes to the field in his long awaited debut for the Los Angeles Galaxy last night in Los Angeles.

Beckam was late starting because of a sore ankle. Before a sellout crowd, Beckham finally entered the game in the 78th minute. He did not score a goal, but the hope is that he will score a win with American fans over the next several years.
