Caption This Photo

By: jen | Comments 16 Comments

When I first saw this photo I couldn’t stop laughing.  Maybe it’s my particularly strange funny bone.  Maybe it’s a more universal funny.  So take a stab at it and caption this photo.

When Ruud Played for Netherlands

By: Laurie | Comments 2 Comments

This is unrelated to tonight’s game, but I stumbled on this video while I was researching a “Classic Euro Moments” post for our Euro 2008 page. (If you’re a fan of the European game, please stop by and vote for the team you think will win this year.)
This video is about the Netherlands’ Euro [...]

By: Laurie | Comments 10 Comments

There are clips of the actual Beckham-on-Ellen show on YouTube, but I liked this better.
(P.S. I love Ellen.)

Congratulations, Landon, for Winning the Soccer Blogger’s Player of the Week Award!

By: Laurie | Comments 7 Comments

In case you weren’t paying attention earlier this week, Landon Donovan was named MLS Player of the Week by the North American Soccer Reporters. So congratulations, Landon!
But I think he deserves more.
In fact, I think North American Soccer Bloggers should start our own awards. Starting…now. And since there was no time [...]

And Now Something for Beckham Lovers

By: Laurie | Comments 4 Comments

More fun stuff from our commenters.
Yesterday we heard from the Beckham hater. Now the Beckham-lovers. (Or at least fans.) This one came to us via Diane, with a little help from Mag.
Best quote:
“I’d rather run out naked at Old Trafford than stand in front of [...]

The Beckham Children Learn Young How to Deal with Paparazzi

By: Laurie | Comments 11 Comments

I love children. Particularly precocious ones.
And I am sure the paparazzi completely deserved it.
As a mom, I’m quite impressed with his fine motor skills. Do you know how hard it is to do this when you’re three?

When Branding Runs Amok. OR: You, too, can own your own David Beckham Wastebasket!!

By: Laurie | Comments 12 Comments

I don’t know why I’ve never visited the “Home and Office” section of the MLS Gear store. But once I received the email with the direct link, I had to stop by. Because I just knew that it would be good.
And I was not disappointed.
Ladies and gentlemen, I would like you to [...]

The First Galaxy Limerick of 2008, Dedicated to Missed Opportunity

By: Laurie | Comments 11 Comments

After watching the Galaxy-San Jose game, I have been inspired to write my first Galaxy limerick of 2008.
No, don’t thank me. It’s what I do.
The Limerick Dedicated
to Alan Gordon’s Wayward Laces
The Galaxy send the ball through
And the players all know what to do
The HDC rocks
’cause the ball’s in the box
But [...]

Isn’t the Internet Wonderful?

By: Laurie | Comments 6 Comments

This has nothing to do with the Galaxy, but I thought it was funny.
Almost immediately after I posted my last post, comparing the Galaxy strategy to kids playing chess, it was picked up by at least six chess-related websites. With teensy little quirks and differences.
My original said:
I spent years teaching chess to small children.

Photo of the Day: Becks and the Kids

By: Laurie | Comments 7 Comments

I stole this photo from the Galaxy homepage. I thought it was so sweet it has replaced Zidane as my laptop wallpaper. (Yes, I liked it that much.)
From the look on Josh Tudela’s face, my guess would be that it’s after his goal.
