While I’ll never understand why MLS schedules a Thursday night match the day after World Cup Qualifiers and International Friendlies, having David Beckham in Beijing as part of the torch passing to London will have another amazing effect on Major League Soccer.
Becks is class. Closing ceremony should be interesting with Jimmy Page and double decker buses and assorted Cool Britannia style displays.
