Went to the game. It definitely was a good experience to see all the Chelsea boys up close. I had really great tickets too and was within spitting distance of Lampard, etc. First time ever going to an MLS game and I was suprised to see how lively some of the fans were. Becks was obviously still injured (his ankle) as I could see him gimping around. He had a couple of nice long passes, his specialty of course. Everytime he took off his warmups or ran on the sidelines, people went crazy. It was kind of annoying to be honest. Then, when he came in, Posh was shown on the big screen imploring her kids to get up and clap for their daddy. Another annoyance.
However, I was very happy to see some passion for futbol from all the Americans. I think this really has a chance to help the sport here in the U.S. which is greatly needed. It is definitely on the upswing, it isn't just talk anymore. Becks had a TON of coverage. I got my jersey...sorry had to buy into the commercialism and spectacle.
