Chivas USA hears "No Se Puede" from the LA Galaxy

LA Galaxy 5, Chivas USA 2

"It was the best home game I've attended in two years. The excitement was so intense people who didn't even know each other were hugging and "high-fiving" in the stands." The LAG owned the field in possession and shots. The precision of David Beckham is amazing. Some novice soccer fans in LA ask me if Beckham was worth the money and I ask them if they've seen him play? They say not yet. I tell them he is and to see it for themselves.

Ruud's decision to put Beckham in Cobi Jones' former right forward position is paying off big time. Landon's getting all of the service he needs and now leads the league with 8 goals. 4 more than the next MLS player.

The Riot Squad was on fire and I love sitting next to this crew - they're great. When I heard them chant "no se puede" I knew I chosen the right season seat location. I love beating Chivas USA into a coma!!

Also, in support of the LAG, I am the main administrator of the Facebook group

After all of the team's hard work last night the fans are still concerned about the defensive line. They're not talking to each other and committing too early on some plays that are close to the half line. We're getting burned too easily. Abel, dude you need to get back to providing service with those feet versus sitting back and relying on heading the ball all over the place because of your height.

Good luck on May 3rd versus RSL!

LA Galaxy Melt in the 90 Degree Heat

LA Galaxy 2 - Toronto FC 3


Sorry fans about missing the home opener - I was in the happiest place on earth (Orlando).

Today's game was "hotter than a snakes ass in a wagon ride" (thanks Good Morning Vietnam with Robin Williams) and both teams were feeling it all game.

The Galaxy had possession most of the game and the entire first half was nothing more than dozens of missed opportunities. Landon Donovan had the most chances including a one on one with the goalie (goalie blocked it) and then an open net and his running momentum didn't allow him to convert.

After the first half, the rest of the game looked as disappointing (or fizzless) as this:



My son looked like this after the game:

Toronto FCs goals game on three Galaxy defender errors. There were no TFC spectacular passing combos, just poor defense on our part. In fact, it sucked. Let me elaborate on the intensity of the sucking by showing you my son's reaction:

Needless to report, it was hot, tiring and painful to be out there today, but we LOVE soccer and the LAG baby, so lets do it!
