Yeah, but Chelsea had about a dozen golden chances they didn't capitalize on, and a goal called back on a dodgy off-sides call. They clearly outclassed the Galaxy.

As to the game: it was an electric atmosphere. Lots of fans for both teams, but everyone was there to see Becks.
At halftime, as I watched the ESPN gang (Rob Stone and Julie Foudy) right outside my section, I was talking to the missus, when a guy bumps into me. I turn around, he apologizes, and I see he has a camera. I turn slightly, and I'm less than 10 feet from Victoria Beckham! There were two bodyguards, and a dozen photographers following her. But there was a gap in the photogs, and if I'd took a step toward her, I could've reached out and touched her.
As for the game, the wait for Becks was growing with each passing minute. When he came out, the crowd cheered. When he began to warm up, they cheered louder. When he played the ball back to his teammate when it went over the touch line, they cheered louder. And when he came on in the 78th minute: BAM! What a reaction!
Not that he did much in his time (a couple of sharp passes and a long ball which the Galaxy attackers promptly misplayed to give up a golden scoring chance, and a nice bender on his only corner kick that John Terry cleared comfortably), but it was good to see him out there.
You could definitely tell that Abel Xavier was glad to see him out there. His confidence level appeared to soar when he came in. And it was funny to see Landon Donovan's reaction when Beck went to take the corner, because Landon was closest to the corner when the ball went out of play. In the past, that was his corner, but he smiled a huge smile, as if he was thinking "of course I want Beckham to take this; what was I thinking?"
I'm glad I went.
