The Philippine Azkals will play against LA Galaxy this coming December 3, 2011 at the Rizal Memorial Stadium. Though this is just an exhibition game expected to boost football in the country and promote further LA Galaxy in Asia, fans are eagerly hoping for a positive result for the Pinoy booters.

LA Galaxy is the reigning MLS Champion. They have superstar players like Davd Beckham, Robbie Keanne, Juninho and Landon Donovan. Of course their coach, Bruce Arena, is popular too and is even considered by many as the most successful coach in North American soccer.

Ticket prices for this game are P15k, P10k and P2k. Quite expensive, eh! But I am sure that a lot will be willing to empty their bank accounts just to watch this once in a lifetime event. According to reports, the United Football League (UFL) is also giving UFL fans a 35% discount on all tickets. The discount is not available though when buying online.

Diehard fans with extra bucks can also watch the LA Galaxy’s practice session on Friday afternoon at the Rizal Memorial Stadium. Ticket prices range from P1500 to P3000.

David Beckham and his LA Galaxy are currently in Jakarta for a 3-day tour. Last night they blanked a selection of Indonesian footballers 1-0 through a Robbie Keane goal at the 14th minute.

For this Saturday’s game, the visiting team maybe tired but the Azkals will also be without key players Neil Etheridge and Roland Mueller, who are unavailable due to commitment with their clubs in Europe.

A 1-0 win for LA Galaxy will be comforting already. But honestly, I want David Beckham score 5 goals including one from the other half of the field, just like what he did when he was young and skinny in his early ManU days.
