The 2009-10 FA Cup continues to be more than enough entertainment during the MLS offseason. On Saturday, Jermaine Beckford punished Tottenham Hotspurs for getting lazy at the end of the game. After putting in a strong 90 minute shift in back, Michael Dawson just didn’t have the legs to chase strikers in extra time. His sliding tackle (he got a little ball, but still…) led to a penalty kick that Beckford put away brilliantly. Let’s hope Leeds continues this FA Cup run so they have enough money to sign their top striker at the end of the season when he’s a free agent.
