We’d don’t want to discredit the superb performances of Landon Donovan (hat-trick) and Alan Gordon (deux goals) during the LA Galaxy’s derby match against city rivals Chivas USA, but we really think the scruffy, I-say-free-instead-of-three beard of David Beckham is a fear-instilling patch of rustic heaven that causes paralysis in other teams and, ultimately, helped the Galaxy win because everyone was wondering why Beck’s had a beaver growing on his face. Recommendation: we’d take a little off the neck region because it just looks silly. Also, frowning doesn’t make you look meaner with a beard. It only makes you look like a guy who thinks, “This is how I’m supposed to look with a beard.”
