0 LA Galaxy v Real Madrid This Thursday at Home Depot Center!

Not often does the opportunity turn up at our backdoor to watch one of the world's most prestigious club team play.  But this Thursday, August 2nd, the Galacticos of Real Madrid arrive in California to take on their namesakes - the LA Galaxy - in a friendly match at the Home Depot Center in Carson.

This is a wonderful chance for any soccer fan - young or old -  to experience the world's best players live and in the flesh.   Go compare the skill level and speed of players like MLS stars Landon Donovan and Robbie Keane with those of Madrid stars like Mesut Ozil, Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka. This is a great way for young players to learn how much potentially they truly have within themselves.

This event is not to be missed, so head over to the Galaxy's website for tickets...if there are any left.
