David Beckham returned to action with the Los Angeles Galaxy yesterday in the teams 1-1 draw with the New York Red Bulls. This was Beckham's first game time since injuring his knee on August 29th.
Los Angeles managed to stay in playoff contention - barely - with yesterdays result. With one regular season game remaining, the Galaxy still need a lot of help to reach the playoffs. They first need to win their final match against Chicago this coming Sunday. They also need help from some other MLS teams. Along with winning their own match they also need Real Salt Lake to win or tie against Colorado and also for Kansas City to lose against FC Dallas. Simply put, the Galaxy need a small miracle to reach the playoffs.
Another interesting fact from the match was that Cobi Jones played his last home match for the Galaxy. Jones plans to retire at the end of this season. He has played all 12 of his professional years with the Los Angeles Galaxy. Jones was also a regular member of the United States national team. A video tribute was shown before the match and the team officially retired Jones' number.
