Prepare for the flashing lights as two of the marquee teams in MLS face off tonight at the Home Depot Center.
The Los Angeles Galaxy look to rebound for a disappointing loss to FC Dallas against the Eastern Conference leading New York Red Bulls. The match will not be short on star power as David Beckham, Thierry Henry, Landon Donovan and Rafael Marquez are set to take part in the match.
SBI will be providing commentary on tonight's match so please feel free to follow along. As always, you are welcome to share your own thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.
Enjoy the action (Commentary is after the jump):
ah, it’s culture. got it. so is racism, in a lot of football. so you’re cool with that, as well? you make monkey noises every time Thierry Henry touches the ball? that’s part of soccer culture too, unfortunately.
and yes, of course there is plenty of petty homophobia of the kind you’re espousing here. there are also gay players, you know that right?
and yes, if I heard any of the players I root for and financially support as a multiple year season ticket holder in MLS, the moment I actually observed a player using a slur of any kind, I’d expect the same sort of thing the NBA just did to Kobe Bryant. This is 2011, you know, not 1961
Yeah, what happened to that British dude who usually does the telecasts?
Northax why are you all butthurt? The same players you watch and root for call each other fags and homos all the time. You ever been on a pitch? Do you realize what the soccer culture is towards homosexuality? If yoy weren’t hypocritical and held players to the same standards you hold Elmer, you woudn’t be a football fan now would you?
Yeah, I kinda agree with elmer, Backe is a homo. Looks like he’s not starting him so the club can make more money long term by holding on to him. Less he plays, less opportunities, less shine.
Pretty clear mate.
+1
The NYRB aren’t ready to lose him yet. Better to limit his opportunities so the club can hang on to him longer.
Second half was a snoozer.
The first 27′ was what MLS should be.
This is a joke right??
Pleased with the Red Bulls result, especially considering no Taino, and Ballouchy in the middle. I’d rather see Robinson, then Marquez or Lindpere in central midfield.
you missed an awesome first half then snoozer 🙂
Right but everyone except Harkes pronounces it Terry not Tee-airy.
As a RBNY fan, I am terrified every time he has the ball. He is so awful.
