Sitting there, amongst the 80,295 strong crowds in the Telstra Stadium and gazing to a figure right down the field who was about to take a free kick, I could not stop but wonder at the amazing impact of one man to thousands, or perhaps millions of others. This was a friendly football match between the visiting Los Angeles Galaxy and Sydney FC, featuring David Beckham.
Never mind the fact that the LA Galaxy lost 3-5 to the home team. Whatever happened on the pitch, it was obvious that the real winner of the friendly match was Beckham.
Moments later he sent the ball whooshing through the human wall made up of Sydney FC players, beyond the reach of the glove of the opposing goalkeeper, and into the top right corner of the goal. Quite expectedly, it was enough to bring the crowds to their feet and into delirium. LA Galaxy had only gotten their first goal as opposed to a triple by Sydney FC, but in the eyes of spectators, it was insignificant. They had finally got what they had they had always wanted, what they paid for.
As for Beckham, there was certainly no better way to respond to attentions given other than showing that he just deserves them.
