The teams line during the National Anthem up prior to the game between the Houston Dynamo and Los Angeles Galaxy.
While growing to love the soccer as a sport, I also grew to love the MLS. Although the action is different from across the pond, there is a uniqueness about the national soccer scene. The last game of the 2011 season had the Houston Dynamo playing the Los Angeles Galaxy for the MLS Cup. The game ended up as a thriller with the Galaxy edging out the Dynamo by only a 1 point margin, and just one point scored in all. I was happy to see David Beckham finally show the Los Angeles area what he was worth, just before his contract ended. Here are a few photos from the MLS cup that I liked. A general view of the stands prior to the game between the Houston Dynamo and Los Angeles Galaxy at the 2011 MLS Cup.
