LA Galaxy in Hong Kong

Fancying a change to our normal Sunday afternoon routine, we decided to head on out to watch the LA Galaxy play an invitational South China side at the Hong Kong Stadium. Admittedly the biggest draw for us, and probably everyone else for that matter, was the chance to see David Beckham play. Late confirmation that the game would be hosted coupled with the fact that Becks was visiting this time with the LA Galaxy (not Manchester United or Real Madrid), meant that the stadium was only a third full - not that it mattered to most.

The game itself was a little disappointing, finishing up at 2:2 at the end of normal time (after Becks equalised through a last minute penalty), before going on to be settled by a spot kick shoot out - with South China ending up the eventual winners.
