David Beckham has not had the MLS easy from his return
From the end of his loan to the AC Milan during the winter, the Englishman has realized that the “effect Beckham” lost his impact.
What bothered to the fans of the soccer of the country was basically the scorn that Beckham showed for the league and for his partners, something that proper Landon Donovan made clear in an interview that gave for a book, “The experiment Beckham”, in which the gunner of the American selection said that “the only thing for that we ask is that he commits himself with the team. What it has not showed either inside or out of the field”.
Although on return from Beckham English and Donovan they filed roughnesses, the discomfort soaked through depth in the fans.
So much this way, that even the same fanatics of Los Angeles have made to feel his reprobation to how David Beckham has acted, prioritizing his own benefit in conference to a possible participation in the World cup of South Africa with England for on his obligations with the Galaxy. In fact, some fans directly increparon to English in his first party after returning to Los Angeles in an exchange that almost came to the blows, others took linens that they were saying ‘Veto to house fraud’. Many booed him whenever it touched the ball.
All this indicates that the extrasoccer enthusiasm that in some moment woke up Beckham's arrival to the MLS does not exist already.
But, in clearly soccer terms, the Galaxy is far from being the team that last year was the laughing stock of the league. In this moment it is in the second place (22 pts). of the Conference West (under Houston (23) and it arrives of Seattle, with 21 units) and if the regular period was ending today, would have a place in the playoffs.
Nevertheless, from Beckham's comeback, it has gained two parties, lost two and joined one. On Wednesday, the 19th, opposite to Chicago, the Galaxy conquered for 2 his 0, with big Landau performance Donovan and Mike Magee (Beckham did not play for being suspended after his expulsion in the defeat before Seattle).
Beckham, Donovan, Sand and company will play against DC United this Saturday, the 22nd, in a party that it promises.
How is life at home
For his part, it seems to DC that the gasoline is finishing him. The team lost in Toronto on Saturday, the 15th (2-0) in a crucial party to support his aspirations to classify the playoffs. New paragraph, DC also fell down in his first party against Marathón 3 to 1 playing in Honduras for the Champions League of the Concacaf.
Until October 24, the day that finishes the regular period for DC, the of the capital ones they him have left ten meetings for the MLS, seven of them of place (counting the party against). Up to the closing of this edition, the rojinegros stay unconquered playing in the RFK.
To that it is necessary to add five meetings for the Champions League Concacaf and the final for the US Open Cup, on second of September opposite to Seattle.
The nourished calendar will be a major challenge for the directed ones by Tom Soehn. In fact, after the meeting against Los Angeles, on Wednesday, the 26th the rojinegros will receive the Mexican Toluca, for the Champions League Concacaf. The team scarlet cloth, champion of the Opening 2008 of the league of this country, visited the RFK in 1998, falling down 1-0 for the same competition.

Usain Bolt achieved the impossible thing. I do not satisfy in spite of the fact that 100 flat meters break the record of in the World cup of Athletics of Berlin (with an incredible one 9.58 seconds), the Jamaican did bits the maximum mark in 200 flat meters, with a superhuman one 19.19 seconds. Exactly one year after the gold of the 200 was hung in Beijing with a world record of 19.30 seconds, Bolt had an even more impressive career in the blue track of the Olympian stadium in the German capital and sliced 0.11 tenths to this mark.
The Bolt achievements bring to collation the question from how long the times will be able to be cut in speed careers, specially 100 flat meters.
“ Personally I believe that I have a lot of work that about doing”, said Bolt after gaining the golden medal of 100 flat meters in the same stadium where the American Jesse Owens gained four golden medals in the Olímpiada s of Berlin in 1936.
Several investigators have carried recent studies out to predict what so quickly a man can cover 100 meters.
The most recent carried out by the University of Tilburgo, in Holland, predicted that someone possibly will be able to overcome 9,51 seconds.
“ I say that (they might be covered in) 9,4. I believe that the world marks will stop breaking on having overcome 9,4 seconds”, added Bolt.

From a beginning, the plan of the family Lerner, the proprietors of the Nationals of Washington, has been to avoid to spend money in consecrated players and, on the other hand, to begin constructing the team with peloteros extracted young people of the university draft. This way they obtained to the current player exemption, Ryan Zimmerman, and to a numerous group of pitchers for that, one waits, be able to mature to be a weight contender.
But none of his previous signings provoked so much attention — and tension — as that of Stephen Strasburg, originated from the University San Diego State.
The president of the team, Stan Kasten and the general manager, Mike Rizzo, managed to sign Strasburg for $ 15 millions for four years, the whole record for a player originated from the draft.
Strasburg had mark of 13-1, with 1.35 of effectiveness and 195 punches in 101 innings with the university of San Diego State the past period.
It is not difficult to realize the porqué the Nationals needed to acquire a figure as Strasburg. This year, the exemption was going in way to exceed more than 100 defeats before dismissing his previous manager, Manny Acta, for Jim Riggleman, who took up office like stand-in. In February, his previous general manager, Jim Bowden, had to resign on having turned out to be involved in an investigation by undue negotiations of the club in Dominican Republic. Also, at the beginning of period the team exhibited jerseys with the name of the exemption evil spelled (Natinals, instead of Nationals).
The Strasburg signing brings a new light, since it is known by his talent and by his straight line that reaches 100 mph.
But the Nationals are taking calmly the Strasburg preparation for the Big Leagues, since, according to Mike Rizzo, the newly named general manager of the team, at least they will send the pitcher to throw in the minor, in this case Chiefs de Syracuse. The Nationals will present Strasburg on Friday, the 21st of August, that there can enter the public who has tickets for the party of this day between Washington and the Brewers.
