This blogger was happy to be at the game, in the cheap seats, behind the goal...here are a couple of pics.

Second Half freekick that was saved
The Galaxy beat DC United 2-0 to move on to the finals of the SuperLiga against the Mexican team Pachuca who earlier had beaten FC Dallas on penalties. The final will be held Wednesday, August 29 at 7 p.m. PT at Home Depot Center. Look here for tickets

Overall I felt the game had a bit more speed and skill than games I have seen before at Home Depot. There was a buzz in the air for the 18,000 some crowd. Though nowhere near capacity it was an impressive turn out for a Wednesday night game for a non-regular season match.
The Galaxy as a team still has far to go to play as a unit and to get used to expecting and handling some of the sublime passing displayed by Beckham. They are a team with some good talent, but I think it will be next year before we see any real return on it. Beckham came on to the field wearing the captains' armband and his leadership skills were never in doubt.

In the mean time it was nice too be part of a special night and to actually see a Beckham's free kick in person.

Great post, hope you had fun at the game... great replay as well. Becks setup Donovan's goal later on. Looks like he's still a good player.
Very exciting and I am glad you got a chance to see it in person. I love the posh pseudo-too cool-yes I really am posh-omg my sunglasses are huge-clapping.
