Yeah, they're showing all the games on ESPN or ESPN2 here. It doesn't seem to be on the schedule for ESPN America though. I guess they only have the rights to show it here.

Some highlights on youtube:

Here's a game story from MLSnet.com:

Galaxy, AC Milan tie in friendly
LA's David Beckham has pair of assists against former teammates

CARSON, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Galaxy had approached Sunday night's exhibition against AC Milan as a pleasant diversion from MLS and a chance to face some quality competition. In both instances they got their money's worth.

The Galaxy gave the 17-time Serie A champions all they could handle in a spirited 2-2 tie in front of a boisterous, sellout crowd at The Home Depot Center.

The Galaxy's David Beckham, facing his former team where he spent five months on an extended loan earlier this year, was booed loudly in his first home game in Los Angeles since his return. But he assisted on both LA goals and turned many of those boos into cheers by the time Mike Magee substituted for him in the 75th minute.

The Galaxy, winners of four consecutive regular-season games, were curious to see how they stacked up against one of the world's soccer powerhouses and found out they stack up quite well. Granted, AC Milan is in the midst of their preseason preparations, but the Galaxy still gave a strong account of themselves, especially in the first half.

The Galaxy controlled possession for the majority of the opening 45 minutes and had most of the scoring chances.

They took just seven minutes for their first attempt when Beckham launched a long pass of almost 60 yards to Eddie Lewis on the wing. Lewis collected the ball and just missed from 16 yards.

Milan, in the midst of their preparations for next month's Serie A opener, got their own scoring chance compliments of the Galaxy. Los Angeles defender Gregg Berhalter headed away a crossing pass from Marco Boriello, but it went directly at the Galaxy net and barely cleared the crossbar.

Milan finally scored four minutes later on a free kick by Davide Di Gennaro that was headed in by Thiago Silva from just inside the goal area.

The Galaxy finally responded 14 minutes later after rookie defender Omar Gonzalez headed away a corner kick. It went to Beckham, who sent another long ball to Landon Donovan, who caught the Milan defense flat-footed as he went downfield.

Donovan then passed to Alan Gordon (a first-half substitute for Edson Buddle), who had no trouble in beating goalkeeper Zeljko Kalac from 12 yards for the goal and a 1-1 tie.

Both teams had quality chances in the final minutes of the first half, with Boriello just missing the net from a sharp angle and Galaxy defender Todd Dunivant's header going just wide after a Beckham free kick.

Milan had another good chance, but this one came on another near gaffe by Berhalter, whose back pass to Galaxy goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts skipped past the Galaxy netminder and barely went wide of the net.

Milan finally took the lead in the 61st minute. Ronaldinho, a terror on the wing all night, found Mathieu Flamini all alone on the flank. He collected the pass and beat second-half substitute Leonard Griffin with a nice pass through the defender's legs to Filippo Inzaghi, who in turn beat goalkeeper Josh Saunders for the easy score and 2-1 lead.

The Galaxy, however, came right back four minutes later. Beckham sent in a corner kick that was headed in by Bryan Jordan for the tying goal.

Was Borriello played as striker this time? or again as a winger?

some pics from the game!

Boriello was played as a striker on the first half. He did not play too well, but in all our attacks did not give him enough supply either. Our attack was really - really stuttering. Not a lot of dangerous moves. Understand that this is only the 2nd game in the prep, but I am curious to see how the attack will change when pirlo and pato settle in.
Nesta is far from his best. He looked very exhausted on one-on-one. And he slipped once to, giving the chance to galaxy on the 16th minute. Thiago Silva was solid, and distributed the ball really well when building up the game. Quite fast, solid in the air, and very calm too. Interestingly, I was more content with Silva - Favalli then Silva - Nesta. But again, I believe Nesta just needs a few more games to get up to speed with his team mates.
Beckham was a beast..

I have found a 10-minute highlight from another Chinese Milan forum I often visit.

It might be too late to learn Chinese, so here is some tips that should help you. There are three visible blocks are "highlight" "1st half" and "2nd half" respectively. There are also three clickable links, so just click on them.

Again, the top one is "highlight". The middle one is "1st half," and the bottom one is "2nd half." The quality is not bad. You are recommended to "pause" for a while for it to get ready, but the quality is decent. And it has English commentary.

Go enjoy. btw, Beckham's pass is awesome. R80 is not bad at all.
