Sydney F.C Beat L.A Galaxy

Last night was a big moment for Australian Football with the exhibition match between Sydney F.C and L.A Galaxy. Sydney F.C played infront of their largest crowd at just over 80,000 punters, but there was only one man in their minds and that is the great David Beckham.

 

While the L.A Galaxy did play well, it seemed that the media seemed to turn them into a one man team but the match said it all. Beckham is a true player and didn’t dominate possession of the ball, but when he did have possession he was leathal. Despite a few scruffs, most notibly the continual angst displayed by Hermes, the game went off in a way that made me feel content that this could perhaps become and annual matchup.

 

Sydney got the first two goal of the match, and held their lead with a score of 5 – 3 to win at the end of the 90 minutes. While displaying the A League’s talent last night, one would surely hope this will be the boost the league needs to pick itself up in it’s early stages and become a more widely supported sport.

 

I personally think the A League is making strides this year, not only with last nights match, but being feature in the FIFA 2008 games it’s becoming more prodominant that it is a real league, that has substance and a pool of incredible talent.

 

What are your thoughts? Should Sydney F.C vs L.A Galaxy become a traditional match once a year?
