But that photo was the last game. Today’s topic is today’s game. FC Dallas vs. LA Galaxy. Last time we met, we came away with a 5-1 win and [...]

The official Galaxy blog is listing this lineup:
————–Buddle—–Ruiz—————
Donovan—————————–Beckham
————-Vagenas—–Pires————–
Jazic——Vanney———Roberts——–Klein
——————-Cronin———————
Subs: Wicks, Dominguez, Franchino, Randolph, Tudela, Allen and Gordon.
We all knew Ruiz was going to start, right? And the new boy, Dominguez, is on the bench. I’m thinking this back line looks…old? (Except for Troy Roberts, of course.) I’d expect to see Dominguez subbed [...]

Abel Xavier Heads Out the Door

By: Laurie | Comments 26 Comments

Sigh.
We all knew this was coming, right?
I’ve been expecting this day with about the same emotions I felt when I was getting ready to get my wisdom teeth out. It had to be done, it was going to hurt, and I’d probably feel better once I recovered.
According to SoccerInsider, who know all, [...]

Chivas v. Galaxy, are you watching?

By: jen | Comments 47 Comments

It’s late for me, being in Virginia and all, and I manage to stay awake and alert and end up watching 13 minutes of WNBA.  Blech!
But here we are now with the pre-game show.  If you are watching, please chime in.
Looks like Franklin and Xavier are out.  Yikes!  I hope our offense can produce.

LA Galaxy Transfer Rumors, and What Would Have to Happen First

By: Laurie | Comments 20 Comments

It’s transfer time, and our defense is a sieve. So what’s standing in the way of our purchasing some really good defenders?
Two things: Money, and roster spots.

Halftime: NE Revs 2-0 Galaxy (OR: DAMN, Xavier Sucks)

By: Laurie | Comments 9 Comments

It’s halftime. We’re down by two. Both goals a result of Abel Xavier getting beat.
I’ve heard some transfer rumors that would bring in defenders.
I like Xavier on a personal level, but I really, really hope those rumors are true.
(If you’re watching the game, leave comments.)
