The LA Galaxy will have to play Pachucha, the mexican league champion, without Beckham for the Superliga final on Wednesday. Galaxy announced Monday that Beckham will miss his second straight soccer game with….guess what?…. a bad ankle.

The Galaxy’s mismanagement of Beckham’s playing time could cost Galaxy $1 million because that is how much the winner of the Superliga final receives. You think Lalas and Yallop would have planned ahead since Beckham is there cash cow anyways. You think MLS is happy?

UPDATE: In a news conference today Beckham said “I’m still uncomfortable, but hopefully I’ll be ready to play tomorrow.” Galaxy’s head coach Frank Yallop said “I expect both to play, David’s still got that ankle problem, but Landon feels a lot better. His calf and his thigh are OK now, so that’s good.” Hmmmm is this smart, $1 million or run at playoffs?
