Soccer in the US
In case you haven’t heard, David Beckham had his debut with the LA Galaxy last night in an exhibition game against Chelsea of the EPL. For the first time in a long time, a US soccer story led Sportscenter … pretty cool.
Of more interest to me however was another EPL vs. MLS game last night played under a lot less fanfare - Everton vs. Real Salt Lake. Everton is my favorite EPL team, so I was very curious how they did.
Knowing that Sportscenter wouldn’t cover it, I went straight to ESPN.com. And I found a match report. Yeah, a match report of Real Salt Lake vs. “Chelsea”. Unreal… why report on a game if you can’t even get something as basic as the teams right.
On a side note, looks like Everton didn’t do too hot, so I am glad I didn’t see it.

FOLLOWUP - I notified ESPN.com about this mistake, and here we are, almost a week later and nothing has changed… yup, soccer doesn’t matter over here.
