Beckham's chance to throw a lifeline to the sinking Galaxy

You could not ask for a better stage entrance than the one David Beckham will get when he finally arrives to play for the LA Galaxy. If you are asking how could one player impact a team's fortunes and turn around a season that is appearing more like a 'quagmire' then Beckham could not have asked for a better opportunity to silence his skeptics.

The Galaxy's season may be on life support and only Landon Donovan's performance seems to give it a pulse. One goal and 5 assists in a team lacking firepower and whose defense is porous against set pieces and crosses from the flanks. They lost to the Revs, 3-2 with all three Rev goals originating from crosses into the box. Today's match against Chivas fizzled out, a dreary 1-1 draw with not many scoring opportunities. The Galaxy occupy the cellar along with RSL in the Western conference.
