LA Galaxy v Vancouver Whitecaps

The high cost of ferry travel to the mainland means that trips are infrequent and it is usually a large event that brings you over. This one qualifies.
Clayton and I are going over for the match with some of our soccer team. It is being played in BC Place Stadium (45,000 tickets sold to date). The game gets underway at 7 pm, and BC Ferries has added an 11:30 pm sailing back to Victoria to accommodate island fans. (the last ferry is usually at 9 pm) It should be a fun event as David Beckham is one of the best in the world and always plays to win. Beckham was #7 for club and country with Manchester United and England. Clayton has worn #7 since as long as he can remember.
Question is, who to cheer for? The local club, or the soccer icon?
