DC United vs Real Madrid

DC United faced Real Madrid in a friendly at Seattle's Qwest Field August 9, 2006. This game and the strong showing is credited by league officials, as helping Seattle get an MLS club of their own.

It was also mentioned by David Beckham as impressing him. The quality of football in MLS had been unknown to him up to that point and as such this game may have been a factor in his decision to move to America.

Good game, but the American commentators are awful :S

Real Madrid gets the money DC payed to them in order to get them in America to play. While DC gets the money sold from the tickets, as simple as that.

Actually New York Red Bulls 3-1 against Juventus, half of Juventus team members were training for the world cup, the rest were mostly substitutes, a few regular starting players like del piero and diego, and reserves
