Over the weekend, a soccer player scored a goal from 60-yards on an open net and, of course, it had to be David Beckham.

Like him or not, that was a pretty sweet goal.

We've seen this happen plenty of times at little kids soccer games, but it doesn't occur all too often on sport's professional levels. Of course, we're talking about getting that all-too-perfect set up and knocking down a huge goal for the team...the other team!

But that’s exactly what happened on Sunday when Caps center Nicklas Backstrom scored a goal on his own net with 28 seconds left in regulation and the score tied 2-2 against Pittsburgh. As you would expect, Washington went on to lose 4-2 as Sydney Crosby got credit for Backstrom’s blunder.

More on: David Beckham, LA Galaxy, goal, soccer, video (all tags)

So, David Beckham has official conquered America as he scored his first MLS goal on Wednesday night to lead the L.A. Galaxy to a 2-0 win over D.C. United. Everyone can breathe a collective sigh of relief now that the Barry Bondsesque anticipation has finally subsided. And if anyone needs to take a deep inhale after the historic moment, it's that crazy Spanish announcer dude who just starts screaming anytime someone kicks the ball into the net. If you can block out the annoying ESPN talking head during this clip then you'll hear exactly what we mean.

This guy has been yelling "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOL" for years now, but we can't help but be impressed every time we hear it. No offense to the American commentators who called the game, but you guys totally suck butt in comparison.
