Tonight at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena over 93,000 spectators came out to see the Los Angeles Galaxy take on the European champions, Barcelona. Stars such as Messi, Puyol, Henry, and Marquez took the field against Beckham, Donovan and the rest of the Galaxy. The Galaxy were overmatched by Barcelona's sharp passing but were not at all embarrassed in this friendly. David Beckham did his best to win back the support of the riot squad by firing in a classic Beckham free kick. As Beckham left the field in the second half after being substituted was greeted by a rousing ovation. Perhaps the Beckham Experiment is taking a positive turn. If the Galaxy can make a splash in the playoffs this season many naysayers may be quieted. Beckhams free kick tied the game at 1 but Barcelona scored in the second half to secure the victory. The Galaxy did not stay on their heels and made the game very exciting by counterattacking with a vengeance. However they could not find an equalizer as the game ended 2 to 1.
