Did you just discover soccer this year? Your statement implies that you didn’t watch the ’10 World Cup, nor the MLS Cup final last year…
LA has zero creativity in attack. It’s get the ball to Beckham and let him swing in crosses and long balls into the box. Would like to see Jose Villarreal get a chance to play with the first team soon. Keane non existent, Buddle uhm is he even close to an MLS qulaity striker, and Donovan yet again disappears for long stretches. Donovan better show more for the USMNT because there is a handfull of quality wingers coming soon i.e. Pontius, DeLeon, Gatt, Corona, Gyau. Hell Eddie Gaven looks better than Donovan does right now.
Red Bulls looked comfortable all night long.
Once again, in a parity league like MLS, it’s often about which team fights more, even if it is missing a lot of starters.
I thought the same thing. MLS version of Fergie time. Stoppage time = Until LA scores.
So which ref then is the MLS version of Howard Webb? Wears a Galaxy jersey under his ref shirt? 🙂
Can we call it Arenas time? It’s the MLS version of Furgie time. 5 minutes? Jeez.
Chad Barret has the skill of a college player so he takes cheap shots at the better guys. Sick.
Wow. No excuse for LA to be this unimaginative offensively.
…behind all the better teams…
L.A. stays in 7th in the West….
Ives, who is wearing armband for RBs?
Landon Donovan is a one-man disappearing act. Seriously, where is this guy? Let’s get out the milk cartons because he isn’t a leader.
Woah, Beckham was actually carded? April 1st?
