  1. I get so tired of Donovan scoring on one out of every four or five great goals scoring opportunities and then having to hear how great he is. He is a waste as a striker.

    If there’s an EPL team silly enough to sign him, and if he’s silly enough to go, it will be the same scenario as last time, watching games from the bench.

  2. Way too fast on the Sasha fastrack, IMO. He gives up the ball too easily and makes poor tackling decisions. He’ll get eaten alive in the EPL (or any top Euro league for that matter). I’m not saying he doesn’t have the skill but there’s no chance he’d have any success in a top league.

    His play with the US, I understand that’s a seperate deal, has been uneven at best. I still hold him responsible for jumping when he was part of the wall for the ill-fated free kick against the Dutch.

  3. God was that game ugly to watch. Route one ball the whole first half. No midfield play whatsoever from either team. No wonder the West is lead by RSL. Switched over to watch the US win golds. Just what the commish wants to hear right?

  4. Sean Franklin better hope there isn’t any video of him elbowing Marsch. If there is he’ll be suspended a few games just like several other players have by the league.

  5. Lots of free kicks that Jaqua would have loved to get a head on here. I’d love to see a compiled list here of all the quality players that shuffled through the LA lineup in Lalas’ tenure.

  6. The sight of Vanney standing there with his arm raised in the air looks famailar. Where have I seen it before? Oh ya several times with DC last season. I say that LA gives up at least one more, maybe two more goals.

  7. Sunderland? He ain’t Irish. I don’t think he moves until the end of the year, anyway, and if he moves, it’s to someone desparate looking for a bargain to rise them from the ashes.

  8. I knew the Galaxy couldnt go an hour without giving up a goal…

    What a ball by Beckham to Donovan. He really should’ve scored there!

  9. Someone did hire Peter. The Women’s league has him running the Chicago team last I spoke with him. He left the men’s Milwaukee Pro Soccer venture to run the women’s team at Toyota Park. (Why MLS would not create the equivalent of the MLB Brewers to the Cubs, with 7500 committed season ticket holders on board, we may never know. The Brewers sell out every time they play the Cubs. Think what it would due to the attendance numbers) We can only hope he can pull together an office as awesome as he did for the Fire team he assembled.

  10. Atleast now we all know that if God wanted a high ball he would have made the grass higher.

    Thanks John for your words of wisdom.

  11. I loved the first shot from the booth where they had the wrong filters on the camera and you could see the massive sun damage on Harkes’ face. That mug is made of boot leather.

  12. Somebody out there throw me some odds on ole’ Landykins going back to Europe.

    Hopefully he won’t get “disrespected” abroad. I’m sure the managers will be nice to him.

  13. I was impressed with Leiweke. Very forthcoming in some respects, and very frank in his assessment of the team not overcoming the loss of Doug Hamilton as a major reason for the recent funk.

    It’s a testament to the youth of this league that there are a few very intelligent minds in the league that are able to rise above what is overall a very middling soccer mindset. Kevin Payne, Peter Wilt (someone please hire him), Doug Hamilton, Steve Nicol.

    One of the signs that this league has developed (and it will take a few more years, it needs to develop generationally) will be when there is a bevy of those minds, enough to populate most GM/manager positions in the league.

  14. Leiweke reminds me of Peter Kenyon with Chelsea. They’re both so full of sh*t it comes out their mouth every time they speak. I love how he said, “we’ve made mistakes.” No, sh*t LA has done nothing but make mistakes beginning with putting Lalas in charge after he’d proven he didn’t have a clue what he was doing at two of your other teams. Oh, and firing your coach when you were in first place. That was real smart too.

  15. Great start by the Galaxy. You can see the way Donovan, Buddle and Beckham celebrated that they want to turn this thing around and do it now.

    Looks like Bruce Arena will be named coach as he’s watching in the press box and had dinner with the Galaxy owner.
