Caught the second half of the Gamba Osaka vs LA Galaxy game from Honolulu tonight, the first game in the inaugural Pan-Pacific Championship tourney. Not the most inspired soccer I’ve ever watched, however it’s really a preseason friendly, so fine to watch with that caveat. Becks played all 90 minutes, but the Galaxy fell 1-0.
The four-team tournament will feature a pair of doubleheaders Wednesday and Saturday, with the first day’s winners playing for the title and the losers for third place. Gamba Osaka of Japan will open the tournament against the Galaxy, with Houston Dynamo facing Sydney FC.
After the tournament, the Galaxy will play in South Korea and China before starting the regular season at the end of March.
