Crew 1-2 Galaxy (and they continue to tease us with that P word. You know. Playoffs.)

By: Laurie | Comments 1 Comment

You know what’s frustrating? Trying to figure out what’s going on in a broadband game when your internet connection isn’t working and all you’re getting is still shot followed by still shot followed by blank screen followed by “page reload” followed by…
It’s a little like trying to figure out those impressionist pointillist paintings made [...]

Columbus-Galaxy Preview

By: Laurie | Comments 1 Comment

Billy Witz of LA Daily News has an interesting article titled, “Don’t look now, but the playoffs are within reach for the Galaxy.”
Suddenly, the Galaxy, who have won as many games in the last three weeks (three) as they had in the previous five months, can jump back into the playoff chase today at 2 [...]

Nothing to do with the Galaxy

By: Laurie | Comments 7 Comments

This has nothing to do with the Galaxy. I’m just rhapsodizing/venting.
First, the rhapsody. My Seattle Sounders won an AMAZING USL final tonight over Atlanta, 4-0. My team, the USL Champions! Truly, this team boggles the mind. They could fit into MLS and qualify for the playoffs with no [...]

Gavin “Clinton.” Bill ‘n’ Hill’s Love Child?

By: Laurie | Comments No Comments

Apparently the Galaxy’s “Gavin Clinton” scored the goal on Thursday. That’s what a website on Poland and Ukraine tells us.
I’m thinking Bill and Hillary must have surrendered him at birth.

I’m a couple of days late in reporting this because I was waiting for news from a credible source. BBC News does it for me.
David Beckham’s father is reported to be “conscious and talking” two days after suffering a heart attack. …
David Beckham and his wife Victoria visited the hospital on Friday [...]

Our Friday Galaxy Limerick, Dedicated to Pete Vagenas

By: Laurie | Comments 5 Comments

I just realized it’s been ages since my last Friday Galaxy limerick. Time to remedy that.
(For any international readers who rely on the written word for your Galaxy news, you need to know here that “Vagenas” is pronounced “Vuh-HAY-ness.”)

Galaxy Beats 9-Man KC, 1-0

By: Laurie | Comments 3 Comments

Something seems to have happened while I was out of the country. The Galaxy have apparently become a team. And this is true even when they’re playing rather uninspired soccer, as was the case last night. Their play, at least in the past couple of games, has gotten much more precise. And [...]

Landon Donovan and that Elusive, (Illusive?) Second DP Slot

By: Laurie | Comments 3 Comments

There is some interesting debate going on in the media lately about the possibility of gifting teams with a second Designated Player (DP) slot. The best article I’ve seen is by Pat Walsh for Goal.com. If the issue interests you, you’ll want to read the whole thing. It sums up the situation [...]

Galaxy Jerseys in Japan?

By: Laurie | Comments 2 Comments

I got the following e-mail from reader Phil:
I was in Japan last week and I saw the LA Galaxy jersey proudly displayed for sale alongside the likes of Manchester United and FC Barcelona.
This news gives me very mixed emotions. I feel a little like a six-year-old wearing his older brother’s high school football jersey. [...]
