LA Galaxy get Ready to Battle N.Y. & Come to face the Azkals in the Philippines as MLS Champions?

David Beckham is now in his final year of a contract with MLS's Los Angeles Galaxy

With David Beckham in the last year of his contract with the LA Galaxy and recording an MLS best 67 points during the regular season, the squad will want to advance in the two-legged semi-finals versus the New York Red Bulls. Get a jump on the team's visit to the Philippines to face the beloved Azkals by Liking their Facebook Page. I have seen Landon Donavan score a hat-trick for the USA in Tampa, Florida vs., if memory serves me well, Ecuador. Robbie Keane, I have watched play for Ireland in Korea during the 2002 FIFA World Cup but I have yet to see David Beckham up close and personal. His recovery from a torn achilles tendon is remarkable! and he seems set to perhaps play for the Great Britain team in the London Olympics while transitioning to some sort of role for the 3 Lions in the future.

The match is said to be set for December 3 at the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex in Manila, Philippines. Versus Kuwait, at the same venue, Stephan Shrock electrified the crowd by scoring a goal just prior to half-time but the uphill climb from their away defeat proved too much as the Azkals succumbed to the more seasoned Kuwaiti side. Looking ahead, while Brazil is coming too soon for the Philippine Azkals, and perhaps the FIFA World Cup in Russia too, by the time the hosts in Qatar are welcoming some 32 footballing nations in 2022, the senior men's squad from the Philippines has every reason to build for and qualify, in my humble opinion.

Be sure to get your tickets in advance for this match!

Update: It is confirmed via LA Galaxy on Facebook via their official site! Asia - Pacific Tour

Update: LA takes a 1-0 advantage into the second leg versus N.Y. Watch the video highlights of that match here: LA Wins. You can clearly see the goalkeeper of NY make the critical mistake of NOT playing to the whistle as NO offsides was correctly given. He appears to be way too relaxed and could possibly have saved the shot had his focus been correct?

Note: These are Conference semi-finals I believe, so the Galaxy will have to overcome the Red Bulls to reach the conference finals before making it to the MLS final. Corrections welcome! LA overcame an early 1-0 deficit to win 2-1 in the second leg at home to book their place in the Conference Finals!
