David Beckham finally appeared in Dallas as a member of the Los Angles Galaxy, but Dario Sala made six saves to help FC Dallas tie the Galaxy 0-0 in a preseason friendly Saturday night.

Beckham played the entire game and did not register a shot on goal but did pick up a yellow card in the 87th minute for dissent. After the caution, the Galaxy captain engaged in a shouting match with FC Dallas players Andre Rocha and Marcelo Saragosa that resulted in Beckham having to be separated from Rocha by his Galaxy teammates.

The game was a makeup for Beckham’s missed visit last year during SuperLiga 2007 when Beckham did not make the trip to Dallas because of an ankle injury. Both last year’s game on July 31 and Saturday’s game were announced sellouts.

Although there were a few empty seats on Saturday among the announced crowd of 20,500, fans took full opportunity to capture Beckham this year. Flash bulbs popped throughout the game, particularly every time the English star lined up for a free or corner kick.

Franco Baldini, general manager for England coach Fabio Capello, was in attendance to watch Beckham and report back to Capello on whether the 32-year-old midfielder was fit to join the national team for England for its international friendly against France in Paris on March 26.

Beckham currently has 99 career caps for England, but was not recalled for Capello’s first game as England’s national coach against Switzerland last month. Sala made a leaping one-handed save to stop a shot by Landon Donovan in the 85th minute.

Los Angles’ two best first half scoring opportunities were a result of Beckham passes. Beckham curled a corner kick from the left side in the 17th minute which resulted in an open shot for Alvaro Pires, but Pires’ angled his header wide right of the goal. In the 34th minute Beckham sent a free kick from 30 yards out to the baseline which Donovan headed back to Abel Xavier, but Xavier’s shot from about five yards away was deflected by Sala.

FC Dallas did not have a shot on goal in the game.
