DC United faced Real Madrid in a friendly at Seattle's Qwest Field August 9, 2006. This game and the strong showing is credited by league officials, as helping Seattle get an MLS club of their own.
It was also mentioned by David Beckham as impressing him. The quality of football in MLS had been unknown to him up to that point and as such this game may have been a factor in his decision to move to America.
