And that’s about the tamest title this blog post could have, because what I really want to write is, “What The F*#! Was THAT??!!.”
First of all, I take back what I said about referee Abbey Okulaja. He is usually a very good referee. But that penalty call for Xavier’s well-timed, all-ball-no-player tackle in [...]

The season is starting, the season is starting!
I’m feeling a bit under the weather so here is my abbreviated and linked preview of our Galaxy’s opening game.

Thoughts On Beckham’s 100th Cap
By: jen | 7 Comments
Just a few thoughts on Beckham’s performance during the England v. France match today.
*He worked tirelessly on both offense and defense.
*With the exception of one or two, his crosses were spot on.
*He had a chance at the goal early on, sliding far post, that would have silenced his detractors.
*Regardless of the missed chance (and I’m [...]

I’ve been contemplating this while reviewing history’s 10 most terrifying contraceptives.
Do I go ahead and order Pay Per View of tomorrow’s France vs. England match? I think the answer is yes. And come to find out, I actually have a $10 credit on my satellite account, so the PPV fee will be even [...]

It’s a slow Easter weekend in MLS so I thought I’d regale you with a brief history of my Galaxy fan-ness (as opposed to finesse, of which I have none).
I was living in Pasadena, just two miles from the Rose Bowl, when MLS began. That first season I learned of the Galaxy’s existence because [...]
Beckham Still On The Roster
By: jen | 6 Comments
Fabio Capello retained Beckham for the 23 man squad set to face France next week. I can’t imagine he’ll be warming the bench for that game either. Although many in England surely laugh at the idea that the Galaxy is a respectable team on the world stage, I doubt that Capello would call [...]

I am outta here. Jen, our wonderful guest blogger, will be returning to shepherd you through the opening games of the season. (You have no idea how much it kills me that I won’t be here watching. But not enough to cancel my trip.)
Be sure to be extremely nice to [...]

I’m flying to London tomorrow, then to Paris next week. I’ve got my France-England tickets stored in an exceptionally safe place, along with our passports and boarding passes. You know. The really important stuff.
When I bought the tickets over a month ago, my expectation was that I’d just enjoy watching my [...]

I’m frantically running around trying to get ready for my flight to London tomorrow, but I wanted to get this up first. It’s an Andrea Canales interview with Carlos Ruiz.
Yes, Carlos Ruiz. My all-time favorite player.
Believe it or not, I am refraining on passing judgment on Carlos just yet. [...]
