We media were not allowed onto the field for the end of L.A.'s practice so we had to wait for them outside the locker rooms. I caught the Galaxy coming in from practice, the guys you see prominently in the video are Donovan Ricketts, assistant coach Cobi Jones and MID Eddie Lewis.

Photos: One more Support Summit shot -- Paul Tamberino, director of US Soccer's referee development was there and took questions -- and MLS Rookie of the Year Omar Gonzalez of the Galaxy.

I'm off to a blogger's roundtable this afternoon...probably won't be posting anything more today. The Media Cup -- soccer games for us journos -- is tomorrow morning at Qwest, and I'm registered to play.

As of late Friday, 40,000 tickets had been sold to MLS Cup 2009 at Qwest Field in Seattle. Some tickets are still available for purchase. Seattle Sounders FC, the host club, set an MLS record by averaging more than 30,000 fans per game this season.

(Now how many will actually show?) Either way, the west upper deck is now tarp-free and ready for customers.

Good crowd here at Qwest Field in the club level. Fans of other teams, too. Congrats to the organizers.

Photos are kind of dark, sorry..

Here's Drew Carey and MLS commissioner Don Garber speaking to the fans.

OK the first photo is from yesterday's fish toss at Pike Place, it's RSL's Chris Seitz with the keeper gloves on.

Drew Carey is talking to reporters now here in the press box. I've been down to the supporter's summit for a little bit, will go back down soon.

Here's video from RSL practice.

Which is exactly what players from the Galaxy and RSL did Friday afternoon at Pike Place Market, in front of a big crowd of scarf-waving fans, I am told.

Here's a photo of the action. This is Alan Gordon of the Galaxy, courtesy of MLS and German Alegria.

We all like food right? Well earlier today I got to sample some of the offerings made especially by Levy Restaurants chefs -- from the company that provides the food service to Qwest Field -- to be available for fans Sunday at the MLS Cup.

Thanks so much to Levy's director of sales for Qwest Field, Katherine Lachman; executive chef Jon Severson and sous chef Nick Walsh.

There was a lot to sample and all I did was take a couple of bites, but check these out:

My favorite thing to eat at any sports event, a soft pretzel. Only this one is GIANT. It's called the Victory Knot.

This is the Seafood Shocker. It's a fish sandwich topped with red cabbage. It's HUGE. Available only in club level.

This is, in honor of the L.A. Galaxy, a "Galaxy Dog." Two strips of applewood smoked bacon, nacho cheese sauce, red onion, diced tomatoes.

The Salt Lake Burger, in honor of Real Salt Lake. Smoked bacon, blue cheese, black cherry bbq sauce.

Galaxy Pizza. Veggies and cheese.

...for a look at what I do often. Here's two guys you know.

Couple of things to add: Landon Donovan said Beckham has been playing hurt and/or sick the last six or seven games. Beckham said he's considering investing in an MLS franchise, that it will happen eventually. He wants to be an ambassador for MLS.

Beckham has been dealing with a sore ankle and trained for the first time today in some time. He said it's a bone bruise and it requires an injection for the pain.
Donovan said he is fully invested in an MLS season for the first time in his career and has the feeling of putting everything into this game, so winning it would be very special.
