O Canada! Beckham is on his way!

canadaamericashat.jpgOur 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.
  • 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.
  • Ty Harden.
  • 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?
  • 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
  • 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?
  • 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.
  • 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
  • Would you STOP DOING THAT?!? ;-)
  • 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
  • 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! :)
  • Jen, gmta. :-)
  • 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
  • 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?
  • 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!
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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
  • 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
  • "Muchas problemas en la defensa de la Galaxy." Or something like that.

    Hey! I understand Spanish! :-)
  • 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 :(
  • http://sopcast.org/ Download the software, then launch it and you'll see the game under "Live Channels."
  • Three minutes in and we're down 0-1.
  • jen
    "This video is not available in your area."
  • And Wicks in in goal.
  • 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

    http://www.canal22.tv/deportes...
  • 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)
