Sam Cronin of the San Jose Earthquakes lying prostrate on the pitch makes a miraculous recovery after getting struck by a ball kicked right at him by David Beckham. Those Herbalife jerseys worn by the LA Galaxy do have magical healing powers.
Becks was angry at Cronin’s time wasting tactics as the Galaxy trailed 3-4 with about a minute to go. He was booked and then got into a shoving match with the Earthquakes. The MLS however took a dimmer view and banned him for a match. You do have to admire Becks accuracy. Maybe Stuart Pearce should take a closer look at this video.
One comment on “Sam Cronin struck by Beckham’s shot makes miraculous recovery”
I agree with you about the precision shooting by Beck’s. I would had done the same thing, divers and floppers a very common thing in soccer now. The league should punish players who fake injuries to buy time and divers who would rather steal a PK than try to score on their own.
