LA Galaxy V Chelsea

On Saturday the LA Galaxy took on Chelsea in a friendly match at the Home Depot Centre, all part of the World Series of Football. The series also featured Tigres, from Mexico and Suwong, from Korea. We also went to the Chelsea v Suwong Blue Wings game on Tuesday that Chelsea won 1-0.
The Galaxy-Chelsea game was a sell-out. Everybody had come the see the stars of the Premier League. Oh yeh.... and a certain David Beckham. As you can see from the photo above, his arrival has been quite the event. Nearly every Galaxy shirt had his name on the back.

It was not the greatest game but very enjoyable. Chesea ended up winning the game 1-0 with a John Terry goal.
The loudest cheer of the evening came when Beckham entered the game as sub. The whole place went crazy. It has to be the biggest cheer I have ever heard for a player coming into the game. He's carying an injury so only played for the last 12 minutes. It was crazy, the cameras were on him the whole game. I think they forgot there was a match going on. I also saw his skinny wife, Posh, from a few feet away. She was being followed around by a pack of photographers. Anybody would think they were the King and Queen of England, not some once pretty good footballer coming to the end of his career and his has-been member of a crappy teeny bopper pop group.
