You may remember one of my September posts that talked about the Galaxy's planned visit to New Zealand to play the Wellington Phoenix. That match is now just around the corner, as the two teams are set to play their match tomorrow.
Yesterday during practices, David Beckham attracted a crowd of over 15,000 - an unheard of amount for a country that is not a historically strong soccer supporter. The expected crowd for Saturday's match is also expected to be the largest in New Zealand soccer history - set to beat the 32,000 that watch New Zealand play Kuwait in a 1982 World Cup qualifying match.
The contract between these two teams stipulates that Beckham must play at least 55 minutes, but Beckham hopes to play all 90.
