    David Beckham tastes first derby victory

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>For the first time since his move to Major League Soccer, David Beckham tasted a derby victory.

    On Saturday his Los Angeles Galaxy beat Chivas USA by five goals to two.

    The victory put LA Galaxy up into second spot in the Western Conference.

    A Landon Donovan hat-trick and two goals from Alan Gordon scored for Los Angeles while Sacha Kljestan and Ante Razov scored for Chivas.</div>

    I agree on that point barmy, they need a plan and also need to spend lots of money if they want the sport to become more famous that it is now.

    That too but also bringing quality soccer in the US. I won't go to a game unless it has action and has quality players in the match, and thats the problem at the moment. Bringing Beckham helps to some extent but the game is 11 on 11, its not tennis. lol

    The teams (and the owners) are rich, and they should reach down in their pockets and bring some stars from the other leagues. (even if they're in their last years of their careers)

    Yea thats another problem, its just 14 teams in the league. (they say it will expand to 18 by 2012)


    They should have at least 30 teams, divided like you said for example the Eastern league and the Western league, have them play on their own leagues, and then make the playoffs for the top 8 teams in each league.
