The biggest football (soccer) game of the year for the US came with the LA Galaxy vs. Real Salt Lake for the MLS Cup. Beckham and Donovan were on the Galaxy and seemed to be the main attraction. Real Salt Lake meanwhile were the underdogs and have had an unlikely run to the MLS Cup. The game was exciting too as the Galaxy scored first and then Salt Lake scoring the tying goal in the second half. It would go to overtime and then penalty kicks.
The Final Result: Real Salt Lake pulls of the upset. Salt lake would 5-4 in 7 penalty kicks. Real Salt Lake's Rimando played well in the Penalty kicks enough to win it. Though I must say that Donovan Ricketts getting injured for LA might have impacted the game enough for Salt Lake. Either way, Real Salt Lake brings Utah its first professional title. That's right Jazz, they got a title first. As for the Galaxy, they had the experience and couldn't get it done. Better luck next year.
P.S. Is it June yet?
