Never give up a point on the road.
Galaxy Coach and General Manager Bruce Arena can look at the statistics just like every other coach and fan in Major League Soccer and knows that success depends on scrapping for points on the road and stockpiling them at home. (Actually I’m pretty sure that this is the [...]

Haven’t we done this already?
For the third time since the start of the MLS season, the Galaxy will take on the Colorado Rapids. This will be the second MLS tilt with a US Open Cup match thrown in in the middle. So far the Galaxy is perfect. 0-2.
The first game, you will remember, was [...]

Due to a family emergency I will actually be in Los Angeles this week, but not writing about the Galaxy. Fortunately, we will have some free time while there so we can show the girls around our old stamping grounds. I wish the Galaxy had a home game this weekend because I would [...]

One thing to say, the Comcast Sports Net broadcasting team of John Schrader and Troy Dayak is professional but fairly low-rent. Lots of stats, not so many insights, and lots of platitidues. At least Shep Messing has an opinion about things on the field…
My post-game analysis is here.

This was the best game of the season from the Galaxy by far. For long stretches the midfield dominated possession, taking the game to the San Jose defense, resulting in 12 shots (four on goal) and three corners. The Galaxy’s make-shift frontline had consistent problems in the final thrid of the field, often failing to [...]

*rubbing my temples* I am sensing a win. Why? Because it’s about damn time!
No, no, that’s not the only reason.
The bad news? The Earthquakes have a very good midfield. Bobby Convey, Simon Elliot (effective when with the Galaxy), Arturo Alvarez, and Darren Huckerby (scary assists leader).
The good news? Their defense [...]

So I’ve been talking with the other MLS Offside bloggers about making wagers when the Galaxy plays their teams. Our traitor blogger Laurie at Seattle, and Dave at New York have already been at it. Evidence of said wager here.
Now I need your help. What kinds of “punishments” would you like to [...]

There is no better way to start off this post than letting SoCal’s dean of futbol reporters say a few words about the refereeing. Here’s Grahame Jones from Sunday’s Los Angeles Times.
But it was referee Tim Weyland’s performance that drew all the attention. Referees are meant to be invisible. That’s the sign of a well-officiated [...]

I don’t think the match between the Galaxy and Chivas USA is going to be that clear cut. The odds are in Chivas’ favor given their record (3-0) versus ours (0-1-1). But records aren’t always a clear indicator when these two teams meet.
Before the season began several MLS analysts expected Chivas to perform [...]

It’s Friday at the end of Spring Break, which means I’ve been alone with two young and nonstop-talking girls all week. Girls who like to goad each other.
So I’ll be back later this evening with a preview of our Chivas match. Because right now if I don’t get to the gym [...]
