O Canada! Beckham is on his way!

By: jen | May 13th, 2008

Our Galaxy will play the Vancouver Whitecaps Tuesday night, 9pm Eastern, in an exhibition match. This game is a rescheduling of the game scheduled for last season but postponed because of Beckham’s injuries.

I’ve poked around on cbcsports.ca to see if there will be a video of it and I can’t quite tell. If you know where it will be broadcast, please post and let us know. Meanwhile, I’ll be dusting off some more of my Canada jokes.

Gordo scores again!!
jen

Agreed Glen.
Glen

well I hate to see a loss of any kind, but it's good practice for some of our players. Plus we got to see wicks and why he should be our #1 GK but unfortunately reminded of how slow our defense is.
jen

Another great save.
Laurie

That was so a handball.
Glen

hand ball, what a blown call.
Glen

and really become a fan of franchino
Glen

I'm a fan of wicks when ever I see him play
jen

Ahhh, yes. Thank you. I still think he's taking a year off to return to the Sounders next year. I hope so. What a talent.
Laurie

Ty Harden.
Laurie

Boy was Franchino in the right place.
Glen

franchino saved that one!
jen

"Wiiiicks! Incredible!!!!"
jen

Hey Laurie? Who played center back with Xavier last year?
Laurie

Uh-oh. Beckham's on ice.
jen

I think they put Klein in. It would make sense since I see them moving him up to right half when Becks is gone.
Glen

what an opportunity from kleins cross
Laurie

I missed the substitution. Who's the new captain? And is there anybody on the field who's been with the team a full year?
Glen

Rudd has to be seeing something in the reserve matches that he doesn't like, I just can't understand what it would be.
jen

His ankle, that is.
jen

It looks like it's just bugging him, Laurie.
Glen

with the defense like we have, we need wicks between the sticks from here on out
jen

But don't you think Ruud has seen the same thing in the reserves games?
Laurie

My feed just stopped. Is Beckham okay?
jen

Okay I missed that. Who did they put in for Becks?
Bob

Steve Cronin, be afraid. Be very afraid...
I think his days may be numbered.
Laurie

Cronin's gotta be sweating right now
Glen

Rudd, are you watching what were watching :p
Glen

wow, almost went down another goal
jen

Yup, and without fouling the player in the box.

And there's another great save!
Glen

I like wicks, kept on it
jen

You . . . me . . . we're like *this*
Glen

bad back heal started that whole mess
Laurie

Would you STOP DOING THAT?!? ;-)
Laurie

DAMN. Another goal. Xavier got outrun again.
jen

Xavier couldn't keep pace. Grrrr.
Glen

damn,hate to admit it, it was a clean goal
Laurie

Wicks is also better about deciding which balls are his and letting the defense know about it.
Glen

it would get my attention :p

Rudd is doing a great job, but he must be seeing something we don't
jen

We need another female streaker to write "Play Wicks!" across her chest and run onto the field. Do you think THAT would get his attention?

Otherwise, I think Ruud is doing a GREAT job!!
jen

You know where you can see the skill difference? Watch how many touches the Whitecaps take before passing versus our guys. Our guys are doing two and three touches. The Whitecaps are messing around with it much more.
Glen

Jen, I don't know why Rudd doesn't see what everyone else see's in wicks...
jen

Jinx, you owe me a Coke! :)
Laurie

Jen, gmta. :-)
Laurie

Tudela's looking better second half.
jen

Wow, Tudela's got something to prove this half! It's nice to see him in good form.
Glen

I also like wicks, cronin lost his #1 position in my book :p
Laurie

Oh, man, if that goal hadn't been offside, it would have been some gorgeous work by Tudela and Jordan.
Glen

whitecaps are flying into every play.....
jen

Oooh, nice almost goal by Jordan!
Glen

damn, offsides. nice set up
jen

Goal aside, I just really like Josh Wicks. Can someone more knowledgeable than me explain why he isn't starting? I'm really missing it, and I feel stupid for not understanding.
jen

Lots of pushy-shovey when they're getting outplayed (Vancouver that is).
Rick

Laurie: How do you say it in French?
jen

I think he's contracted to play 60 minutes?
Laurie

Thanks, Rick. I could tell you how to say it in French. :-)
Lee

You guys have fun watching the second half. I gotta
split for my fencing practice.
Glen

at what minute do you think they'll pull beckham?
Glen

just got to see the goal that the whitecaps got, what a blunder.....
George

Yeah, Martin is Steve Nash's brother.
Rick

Within Sopcast go find or scroll down to "- Soccer-Lite TV [1] 31936. LA Galaxy @ VC Whitecaps"
Rick

Laurie: "Muchos problemas en la defensa del Galaxy"
George

If you're desperate you can listen to the game in Spanish on lagalaxy.com .
jen

Yup, the keeper had to commit and realized too late that he shouldn't have. Great goal for Gordon!
Laurie

No, I meant it was entirely legal, but he just kind of outleapt the keeper and knocked him out of the way as he was getting the ball. Like he did with Guzan.

Last year I never thought he played with head confidence, and now he's done this twice. It's a GOOD thing.
Glen

nice to see Gordo get another goal.
Lee

Nah, he held his position and the keeper was late getting
over. Looked pretty clean on the replays.
Laurie

Goal Gordo!!! That one was a lot like the one against Brad Guzan, where he just kind of legally took out the keeper.
Glen

Gordon!!!!11
Glen

mucho dangerous pass back from the x-man to wicks
Lee

Goooaaaallll. Beckham to Gordon.
Laurie

So let me get this straight. In defense we have Xavier, Vanney, Jazic and Roberts? No wonder we're having problems.
Glen

cronin should worry for his job!
Glen

isn't that steve nash's (NBA Suns) brother out there playing for the whitecaps
Laurie

We are getting off a lot of pretty long shots. Unfortunately none of them are going in.
Glen

nice shot from beckham, I agree wicks looks confident
Laurie

"Muchas problemas en la defensa de la Galaxy." Or something like that.

Hey! I understand Spanish! :-)
Laurie

Wicks sure looks more confident that Cronin.
Lee

Another good chance by Vancouver and a nice save by Wicks.
jen

Got it!! Thanks to you guys and my patient techy husband.
Glen

just missed!
Glen

nice shot from franchino
Lee

Xavier almost springs Jordon in for a goal. Only a nice
punch away by the keeper at the top of the box saved the
goal. Followed quickly by a 25 yard blast by Franchino
and another good save. Seeing some O now.
Glen

looks like they're starting to create some chances
Glen

downloaded sopcast, got the game
Lee

The goal was a horrible gaff by Josh Tudela, a giveaway
about 25 yards out that Wickes didn't have a chance on.
We're lucky it's not 2-0 or worse. Almost 9:00 in and
no offense at all.
Glen

maybe I'm glad the video isn't available in my area, already down a goal :(
Laurie

http://sopcast.org/ Download the software, then launch it and you'll see the game under "Live Channels."
Laurie

Three minutes in and we're down 0-1.
jen

"This video is not available in your area."
Laurie

And Wicks in in goal.
Laurie

The Spanish broadcast is available on Sopcast if you have the software installed.
Kent

If you have sopcast, you could try myp2p.eu and just follow the links to the Galaxy game.
Glen

it says video not available in my area (Arizona)
jen

Jess, I want to kiss you!! It looks like it's going to work out, too. Fingers crossed.
Jess

Live stream here...I think. It says live stream about half way down the page but when I click it goes to a tv schedule. Hopefully it works gametime.

Glen

here's the website for KWHY, it mentions live from Vancouver and if you click on the link it opens a small player, so how knows. worth a try

jen

I don't suppose KWHY will have live streaming on their site would they? I HATE not seeing games!
Sam

He just HAD to come to my city.
jd

kwhy in Los Angeles (in spanish)
