Beckham's LA Galaxy Jersey in SG

Went to a jersey store at Queensway Shopping Centre (S'pore) today & found that the LA Galaxy Jersey with Beckham's name on the back is now on sale for SGD$129. (Same price for Home/Away)

This seemed to be around the same price as compared to ordering from the Official Site in USA, although USA-SG shipping fee also need to be take into account.

Asked the store staff if nameless edition are available, the answer is NO, reason being NOBODY would buy them if NOT for Beckham, which is quite true, :-)

Anyway, I resisted the temptation to buy it for now, will wait until the prices come down. (this has always been my jersey-purchase policy: buying past seasons ones at about 1/3 the price, :-)

Beckham finally played in Major League Soccer!

David Beckham finally made his competitive debut in MLS (Major League Soccer in USA) on 9th-Aug-2007 as a 72nd min. subs. for LA Galaxy against DC United. However, he couldn't stop his team from losing 0-1 on the eve, here are the match reports on MLSNet, SoccerNet & TodayOnline.

His previous apperance against Chelsea on July-21st as a 78th min. subs. was actually for an exhibition match, which ended in a 0-1 loss as well.

With this latest setback, LA Galaxy is now in serious troubles of missing the post-season (there's no relegation in MLS though, it works more like NBA than EPL), being 8 points away of a playoff spot with half a season left to play, based on standings on MLSNet.Com & Wikipedia.Org.

Hopefully Beckham can recover soon & lift the team for the rest of the season... Good Luck!!

The Unofficial Champions of Australian A-League

The Unofficial Championship of Australian A-League can trace its roots back to the inaugural 2005/06 season, which kicked off with 2 concurrent matches on Friday 26 August 2005.

Out of the two matches, the one between Perth Glory & Central Coast Mariners were chosen as the starting point of the Unofficial Championship mainly for 2 reasons:
1.It was listed as the very first game on both the Official Site & Wikipedia.
2.Perth Glory were the champions of the final season of National Soccer League, the top league in Australia prior to the formation of the Hyundai A-League.

From there, the general rules guarding the Unofficial Championships were:
1.Central Coast Mariners bacame the first champ after beating Perth Glory 1-0 in the first match.
2.The sequence continued with them as title holder met the next "challenger", and so on.
3.In the event of draws, the holders retained the title.
4.Only regular season matches count; playoffs excluded.
5.Only regulation & extra-time scores count; penalty shoot-outs, if any, were excluded.
