Beckham scores, Ronaldo follows Zidane

Ronaldo, playing for ManU but more importantly playing on my fantasy team, did something really, really dumb Tuesday night. Tuesday he got a red card late in the game, which keeps him from playing this weekend and also earned an amazing -2 pts for the fantasy cause. ManU finds itself in somewhat unfamiliar territory, with 2 ties and 2pts earned after 2 games. Everton finds itself tied in first place with Chelsea and Man City, while there are five teams ranked at the bottom with 0 pts after 2 games.

In MLS action, David Beckham started his first game and scored his first MLS goal. He scored in the 1st half with a free kick that he - wait for it....bent- over a wall and into the side netting. Here is a link to video footage of the goal. Two highlights of the video are Posh aka "Victoria" Beckham's enthusiastic celebration and the utter frustration of the keeper [was he surprised that it could happen to him?].
