About Your Blogger
Hey, I’m the New Kid
By: JustJack |Like Nathan and Jen, I’m helping Laurie phatten-up our fair blog’s sandbox. I just wanted to introduce myself before you get to read my first post. What a time to arrive, in the middle of the Shakeup of 2008 and the aftermath of last night’s hard fought…draw. I’m not getting much sleep, [...]
Intro And All That
By: NathanHJ |Before I do anything else on this blog, I’d like to take a minute to say hi and do a quick introduction.
A little while ago Laurie invited me to be a part of this blog, which I can only imagine is a bout of temporary insanity, but before she gets wise and boots me off [...]
Goodbye All
By: jen |My stint as guest blogger is over as I am heading out of town to see family tomorrow. I get back into town about July 10th so I’ll poke my head in here then, if not sooner. Laurie is almost finished with Euros and will be back doing the awesome job she does here.
I’ve loved [...]
Los Angeles Expatriates Unite!
By: jen |It’s a slow Easter weekend in MLS so I thought I’d regale you with a brief history of my Galaxy fan-ness (as opposed to finesse, of which I have none).
I was living in Pasadena, just two miles from the Rose Bowl, when MLS began. That first season I learned of the Galaxy’s existence because [...]
The Post in Which I Cheerfully Pimp for My Blog(s)
By: Laurie |Hey, Galaxy fans. I was kind of excited this morning to discover that this blog is up for the “Best Blogger” award over at SoccerLens.
Who knew that others find the same joy in groin injuries that I do?
My faith in humanity is restored.
Also, I think I am the [...]
Happy Birthday to Our Blog
By: Laurie |I was just checking old posts tonight and realized that today is the one year anniversary of the start of LA Galaxy Offside.
Think back a year. Beckham had just signed with MLS. He was benched at Real Madrid. He’d been dumped from the England NT. And we thought the [...]
Beckham Gets an Assist for England (and I’ll See You Monday)
By: Laurie |David Beckham played yesterday for England in a friendly against Austria and notched an assist. I want to say it was a free kick to Peter Crouch, but I’m having a heckuva time finding anything in the British press this morning. All anybody wants to talk about is how stupid it was for [...]
The Future of the LA Galaxy Offside
By: Laurie |A couple of weeks ago, reader CentralCoaster asked me this:
“Are you gonna ditch us once the Sounders join MLS?”
Fair question. If any of you have been around since the LA Galaxy Offside started up last January, you’ll remember that this blog began as an experiment: Could my French-football-loving self learn to love and [...]
Beckham “Unsure” Against the Revs
By: Laurie |Is David Beckham playing today? It’s not looking good.
After the DC game he said he was hoping to play an entire half against New England and a full game next weekend against New York. But, sadly, his ankle had other plans. It swelled up again after his eighteen minutes on [...]
Thanks to Readers of LA Galaxy Offside
By: Laurie |Okay, first thing? I promise not to go all Sally Field on you.
(You like me. You really like me.)
Oh. Wait. Sorry. Flashback. It was beyond my control.
What I really wanted to say was, thanks. Thanks to you, and thanks to Beckham. Thanks to Becks for [...]
