ESPN Classic and ESPN360.com will be airing all four matches of the upcoming Pan-Pacific Championship live from Honolulu, Hawaii.
Major League Soccer will be represented by two teams in the tournament. David Beckham and the Los Angeles Galaxy face J-League champion Gamba Osaka in the first-round (Feb. 20, 11:00 p.m. EST), while the defending MLS champion Houston Dynamo square off against Sydney FC of Australia's A-League (Feb 21, 1:30 a.m.). The winners of those two games will meet in the championship on February 23 at Aloha Stadium, while the losers will meet in a third-place game.
Sydney FC and the Galaxy have meet once before, in an exhibition last fall in front of over 80,000 fans. The Australian side prevailed by a score of 5-3, but Beckham stole the show by converting a trademark free-kick just before halftime.
