MLS Cup '09

David Beckham, get a dang haircut. Although it does make you very easy to spot on the field.

Probably a good thing for the L.A. Galaxy that they've got to the MLS finals. What with the whole David Beckham thing and all.

Galaxy scored first. Really nice set-up from Beckham, to some guy, to some other guy who ended up scoring pretty nicely.

Real Salt Lake scored next. A lot scrappier of a goal. Good awareness of the guy who scored though. A lot of pinballing action bouncing off a whole bunch of different folks.

And Beckerman just fouled Beckham. And they both have ridiculous haircuts.

Why must you go to overtime? I want to go to bed...

And the Real Salt Lake goalie just dove into his own net quite spectacularly, and broke the mounting system for the net.

And LA's backup goalie seems to be doing quite a good job. Their original goalie hurt his wrist or something, and apparently became the first goalie to get subbed out in the MLS final. And he's got a beard, so I've got to root for him.

And now we're in to penalty kicks.

First 2 guys for each team all scored. Next guy for each team all got blocked. LA guy sails it over the net, and the Real Salt Lake guy scored. Then the LA guy scored, and the Real guy didn't. So, now its down to sudden death.

Both guys scored. LA guy gets blocked. And the Real Salt Lake guy scored. And they win.

And now I'm going to bed.
