LA Galaxy At Commonwealth

We were lucky enough to get tickets to watch the LA Galaxy, led by David Beckham, take on the Vancouver Whitecaps. The Vancouver team was able to win the game 2-1, but Beckham still managed to get an assist. The weather was far from as cold as it could have been, but it really wasn’t that pleasant with the rain coming in a couple of times during the game. See the photos and videos here!

I remember my days of living in England back in 1998 and 1999 watching David Beckham play in Manchester as well as at Wimbledon. He was really a rising star at that point and I also watched him play (on TV) at the World Cup. His “red card” got some attention, but that really isn’t the point of this post!

With a slow start, Beckham wasn’t really up to what I remembered about him. As the game went on though, his performance improved and he had a few passes that resembled the greatness that I remembered. It was exciting for my 3 year old son to watch the game and he will be sure to tell his friends about it tomorrow
The game was an exhibition match to raise money for local sports agencies and I was happy to do my part by attending the game. As mentioned above, I have several pictures and a few videos on my flickr page.
