LOS ANGELES (8/3/09) -- The pathologically insane jumped, flipped and wheeled around with utter disregard to their bone density this weekend at the ESPN X-Games 15 in Los Angeles. The now 15 year old event featured (mostly) tattooed, action-sport athletes competing in skateboarding, BMX, Motocross, and Rally Car Racing events. Tricks like The Electric Death/Doom, Back Flip 720, Stripper, 360 Flip and more, were put on display by some of the daredevils who helped name them.

FC Barcelona vs. LA Galaxy
75 photos
Spanish and European Champion, FC Barcelona, traveled to the Rose Bowl Saturday night to face the Los Angeles Galaxy in an international friendly. The match, which drew over 93,000 fans, was the largest attended soccer match in the United States since the 1994 World Cup. The Catalonian side, featuring world class players such as Lionel Messi and Thierry Henry, proved too much for the Galaxy to handle. Winning 2-1 on goals from Pedro Rodriguez and Jeffren Suarez. Embattled Galaxy Midfielder, David Beckham, played in his first match since the incident with a supporter from a few weeks prior at the Home Depot Center. With each touch of the ball, Beckham was showered with loud boos from the largely Barca supporting crowd and with a trademark free kick goal at the close of the first half, silenced many of the boos.
The match was the third world class caliber match in Los Angeles within the last two weeks and in all the matches drew almost 200,000 fans to watch the beautiful game.

PASADENA, CA (July 21, 2009) -- English Premier League giant Chelsea FC squared off against Italian Serie A Champion Inter Milan at the Rose Bowl Tuesday night.
The match, attended by over 81,000 fans, was part of the World Football Challenge, a six-city tournament featuring four of the best club teams in the world. It was the first match against his former team for Inter manager Jose Mourinho after his exit from the London squad.
Chelsea's precise passing and stifling defense would prove too much for the Italian side to over come. With a rocket of a goal in the first half by star striker Didier Drogba and a second half penalty goal by Frank Lampard, Chelsea took the win 2-0.

LA Galaxy vs. AC Milan

CARSON, CA -- The Los Angeles Galaxy faced off in a friendly against Italian powerhouse AC Milan Saturday night. While the match resulted in a 2-2 draw, it was an exciting match throughout, both on and off the field.
The match also marked the return of embattled Galaxy superstar David Beckham, who left the Galaxy to play on loan for AC Milan. From the moment he was introduced and each time he touched the ball, Beckham was booed relentlessly by the home crowd. At the end of the first half Beckham had enough and walked to the Galaxy die-hard support club, the LA Riot Squad, and engaged the fans. One supporter jumped onto the field and was promptly apprehended. Beckham later stated "he just wanted to make amends and shake his hand."
Off the field antics aside, Beckham was essential to the draw feeding a long pass down field to set up the first goal and taking the corner that drew the game even.
