Wellington Phoenix v Adelaide and LA
Galaxy, starring David Beckham
|
|
It was a record club crowd on the Friday night to see Adelaide snatch
a win against the Phoenix, 18000 in the stands. |
Here's Sam and Ben McPherson enjoying the game |
|
|
When Daniel scored a penalty it looked like the Phoenix were in,
specially since Adelaide were down to ten men. |
The Saturday around the city was a football fiesta. Here are the
Phoenix team paying a visit to the Phoenix store, where you had to
queue up for ages to buy the gear. Most of it sold out. |
|
|
Now the main game, Saturday night, 32000 in the Caketin, and the
teams walk out to streamers and fireworks. |
And here's Becks about to receive the ball and the close attentions
of Richard Johnson. Felipe is charging in to help as well. |
|
|
Just like Edgecumbe, a scrap! Captain Becks gets his fired up striker
to walk away! |
Here's Becks about to deliver another brilliant cross field pass. |
|
Then it's all over, The Galaxy, with some help from the ref, who
gave them a penalty for tripping over the ball, win 4 - 1. Becks is
swapping shirts with Phoenix captain Ross Aloisi. |
