LA Galaxy schedule released, tix on sale

MLS released the schedule for the 2007 season today and the rush to snap up those coveted LA Galaxy road game tickets is officially on. Below is the schedule so far for Brand Beckham's initial tour of duty in the States. I say so far because this excludes US Open Cup and exhibition dates as well as the knockout stage of SuperLiga. This list is also only of games that occur after the All-Star break which is when (at this stage) Beckham is due to be available to Los Angeles. There is an outside chance that he will be available to play in LA vs. Chicago and KC before the break but personally I doubt it. He could however make his debut as the Commissioners pick in the All-Star game.

Some quick observations that I find interesting:

• Every team gets one match against LA after the All-Star break
• The Gals go on an epic 5 game road trip before they unveil Becks at home
• The 1st home game with Mr. Posh is a Thursday night prime time derby vs. Chivas USA on ESPN2. This is a an excellent move with the potential to be must-see TV.
• According to the team and league websites, tickets to all matches are available only as part of a multi-game package at the moment. No single game tickets are on sale yet.
