The L.A. Galaxy is scheduled to play D.C. United tonight at RFK. It looks doubtful that Beckham will actually play, and this event has been sold out for a while now in anticipation of his visit. If I were the Galaxy coach I would leave it up to him to decide whether or not to play. It would probably satisfy some fans to just see him run around the field for a few minutes. At the same time this guy is getting old and doesn't need to be risking the few good years he has left by rushing back from an injury. On another note, I was listening to the Beckham press conference this morning. This guy sounds Australian, not British. Think of the Geico Gecko voice.
On yet another note, the D.C. Metro system has been struggling as of late. I've heard reports that there haven't been enough trains to handle the recent increased ridership as people are encouraged to take mass transit instead of driving alone to work. Metro needs help. All I can say is that I hope Metro doesn't drop the ball tonight with the expected huge crowd going to RFK to see the Galaxy-United match.

There's really no excuse for Metro to not be performing better. I don't know if the problem is budget or leadership, but I'm sure Metro officials can do a better job of anticipating ridership numbers. For example, they should have a complete schedule of Verizon Center events and run more trains before/after these events around the Gallery Place station. They should know that on very hot days like the D.C. area has been experiencing as of late will mean increased ridership. I can say however that last month during the Fourth of July celebration Metro seemed to be fine.
