FC Mia – Nomar United (R)

Saturday, January 26, 2008

A last minute goal by surprise-to-me guest Joy Fawcett off a Mia assist won the game in a thrilling 13-12 defensive struggle.

Ramiro Corrales AND Eddie Robinson? Pinch me, I’m dreaming

Wednesday, January 2, 2008

  We can divide the January roster into several categories:   Players Matt Reis Is Better Than Players Oguchi Onyewu Should Be Better Than But Isn’t Players Having Their Annual Last Chance To Make The National Team Players Who Will Contribute Significantly To World Cup Qualification   Sadly, this last category could carpool in one of Landon Donovan’s [...]

Galaxy clarify roles, sort of

Friday, November 9, 2007

I’ll get to my opinion on Ruud Gullit, but it ain’t like there’s a big hurry or anything. (One sentence preview: I’m if anything more excited about the Cobester as his assistant, although I know for a FACT that Cobi hasn’t been scouting college players this year.) But it’s the Galaxy’s offseason, I got time. [...]

Remain calm! All is well!

Tuesday, September 4, 2007

Chris Klein, whose bicycle kick against Pachuca gave a glimmer of hope that he would regain the form he showed during his glory days at Real Salt Lake, said that the team was 100% behind Frank Yallop. This was before the Galaxy gagged at home yet again on Saturday. Naturally, my first reaction to today’s [...]

Unreliable narrator

Thursday, August 30, 2007

Like in Nabokov. Except this time, the twelve-year-old being molested is the Galaxy. I got back to the internets last night, and thought “Wow, they sure are excited about Chris Klein for some reason. And poor Pete is getting freaking ROASTED!” For you see, from my corner seat, I had credited the bike to Alan [...]

Vanity fair play

Thursday, August 2, 2007

(1) Landon shushes the crowd, does a throat slash. (2) Landon gets a yellow card. (3) FC Dallas shuts him up by scoring. (4) Donovan doesn’t apologize, but admits that the game wasn’t over, and that it wasn’t such a good idea. The system works. Now, if (3) hadn’t happened, then I can see the [...]

Taunting Landon Donovan doesn’t work.

Thursday, July 5, 2007

Should have been part of the other post, but between last night, and the Gold Cup final, it deserves its own post. Hell, the Gold Cup final was IN Chicago, didn’t any of the Fire watch? Yes, if all you read is his interviews and message board posts, he seems like the easiest target in [...]

Bob Bradley takes my advice on Copa America roster.

Friday, June 22, 2007

Well, for the most part. The only guys who will do both the Cup o’ Gold and the America’s Cup are:

It gives me great pleasure to write this post

Tuesday, June 19, 2007

Several Galaxy fans have written Alexi Lalas asking if Landon Donovan is being traded. The answer is no. So pipe down, Messing. You know what? If you made it up, come clean. If you didn’t make it up, burn the guy who did. Because he made you look like a freaking idiot. (If you’re going [...]

Mama, take this badge off of me

Thursday, May 31, 2007

So I’m watching Extra Time at mlsnet.com, right, and for about five minutes fifty seconds I’m thinking, “Eh, this isn’t bad. I don’t mind this. I’m learning some things.” Then I have an aneurysm and die. I’m pretty sure it was because of this exchange – I’m paraphrasing, because my ghostly aura is having a [...]

Cry like a man

Thursday, May 31, 2007

Has Landon Donovan failed to make you wince recently? Laurie’s got you covered. Crying is nothing to be ashamed of. Why, just this morning, when I read that the captain of my favorite club and national team cried during “American Idol”? I started bawling uncontrollably.

Because finding someone to express an opinion on Landon Donovan is tough.

Andrea and Voros add their thoughts.

US 3, Ecuador 1 (R)

Monday, March 26, 2007

Usually what I like to do after games is stroll around other blogs and boards, get a feel for what’s going on, read a few actual reports from actual reporters who were at the games, and then adjust my opinions accordingly. Almost always without giving credit to who I was reading.* Heh heh. That’s more [...]
