I’ve Got Two Words: Galaxy vs. Dynamo Post-Game Analysis

By: NathanHJ | 5 Comments

And those words are: Pleasantly Surprised.
I watched this game twice, once in person (commenting from the stands on Jen’s pre-game posting) and once on the MLSLive.tv stream and both times I was impressed at how the Galaxy ended up playing their game and made the Dynamo adjust to them. How unusual! How pleasant!
From the [...]

Oh Yeah, the Galaxy Plays the Houston Dynamo Sunday

You know, after that other game I heard about. Something about Brazil being in a final . . .
Our Galaxy hosts the Houston Dynamo on Sunday — game time 7pm, shown on ESPN2 and Deportes.
The Dynamo sits atop the Western standings with 28 points, and whoops every Eastern team on points as well.
The Galaxy [...]

I just HAVE to share this photo that reader, elle, brought to my attention. It’s too, too funny.
And lately when I see these photos, taken at justherightmoment, I think of The Queen’s policy never to be photographed while eating.

I’ve Got One Word: Galaxy vs. Earthquakes Post-Game Analysis

By: NathanHJ | 5 Comments

And that word is: Punchless.
One shot on goal, seven shots overall, despite controlling the game for decent stretches over the course of the afternoon. Punchless. One shot on goal despite fielding an “offensive-minded” lineup designed to counter the improved San Jose Earthquake defense and attempt to victimize the leakiest defense in the league. If the [...]

Galaxy vs. Earthquakes Preview

Well, on paper we were supposed to win last week. This week we are almost guaranteed a win — on paper anyway.
San Jose is having an awful season. Add to that injuries to key starting players and our chances still look great without Landon and Eddie Lewis. I learned my lesson last [...]

Something for the Guys

Faithful reader and commenter, Glen, requested a few photos of Mrs. Landon Donovan, Rules of Engagement star Bianca Kajlich. And I said, why not? If Becks gets posted here in his skivvies, why not beautiful Bianca as well?
Here are several photos that run the gamut from sexy to girl-next-door. Needless to say, [...]

I’ve Got Three Words: Galaxy vs. RSL Post-Game Analysis

By: NathanHJ | 5 Comments

And those words are: That was disappointing.
I admit that I was suckered by the recent 10 game non-losing streak into believing that the technical deficiencies of the team could be compensated for by heart and determination. Even as I wrote about the mediocrity of the midfield, the ability to gain points on the road and [...]

Galaxy Should Drain Real Salt Lake

By: jen | 22 Comments

Are you watching? (FS-PT –TD 8:30 pm, DK)
“The past four meetings between Salt Lake and Los Angeles have ended in 2-2 draws,” says ESPN’s site. Methinks that won’t be the outcome this time.
So what if they have their very own branded jet, Real Salt Lake (3-6-3) can’t seem to catch a break on [...]
