By: NathanHJ | Comments 7 Comments

And those words are: Western Conference Champions!
In another step in the worst-to-first journey that MLS Coach of the Year Bruce Arena has taken the team on, the Los Angeles Galaxy turned away a stiff challenge from the Houston Dynamo in 30 minutes of extra time with a 2-0 scoreline.

Galaxy vs. Chivas Playoff 2nd Leg Preview

In the future, I will, at a minimum, create posts where you all can share your own reactions and analyses, even if I [...]

And those words are: EPIC FAIL! Or maybe I’ve got five words: What the @#$%&! was that? 6-3? That’s a team record for goals allowed in a game. 4 FCD goals game after the 70th minute. Three came after the 81st minute. It was an unbelievable set of breakdowns across the [...]

I’ve Got Five Words: Galaxy vs Chivas USA Post-Game Analysis

By: NathanHJ | Comments 25 Comments

And those words are: That’s what I’m talking about!
Last week I was all about “No More Ties!”, not because i have a vendetta against neckwear (and a penchant for lame puns), but because winning teams know how to scratch out wins from adverse conditions at crunch time. The frustrating game in DC was the catalyst, [...]

I not going to do a real post-game analysis, just leave you with some thoughts and impressions and invite everyone to leave their own.

I’m warming up to the idea that you don’t have to be the best team in the league, just the best team in the stadium. Obviously [...]

And those words are: Don’t get cocky.
That’s 4 wins in a row for the Galaxy, which is not the longest win streak since 2006. (The dismal 2007 season featured a 5 game winning streak from September through October.) All of a sudden the team is tied for third [...]

Of Midfield Mediocrity and (lack of) Killer Mentality: LAG vs. FCD Post-Game Analysis

By: NathanHJ | Comments 14 Comments

I gave myself the better part of two days before committing this Galaxy-FCD postmortem to the foreverness of the internets because I wanted to get past the bitter taste of frustration lingering in my mouth after Saturday’s excursion to Frisco. I wanted to see if that would change what I had to say.
And because I [...]

Post-Game Analysis: Galaxy vs. Chivas

By: NathanHJ | Comments 12 Comments

There is no better way to start off this post than letting SoCal’s dean of futbol reporters say a few words about the refereeing. Here’s Grahame Jones from Sunday’s Los Angeles Times.
But it was referee Tim Weyland’s performance that drew all the attention. Referees are meant to be invisible. That’s the sign of a well-officiated [...]
