A Few Galaxy Odds and Ends

By: Laurie | August 23rd, 2007

First off, is anybody seeing anything about a Ty Harden injury? Lane posted in the comments that he’d read it, but I’m not finding it. This doesn’t mean it isn’t there — just that I may not have given google the correct magic words. But I’m hoping it’s wrong, because we’re running out of defenders. Or even midfielders who can pretend to be defenders.

Oh, and this doesn’t qualify as a separate item, but check out the photo of RBNY keeper Watereus, back in the day. So much pretty! Doesn’t he look as if he could be singing backup for Bon Jovi? (Thanks to Dave for the find.)

Third thing: Expect to see a lot of empty seats at the SuperLiga final. And it may not be lack of demand for a change. According to Billy Witz, SuperLiga

presents such a conflict with the first week of fall semester classes at Cal State Dominguez Hills, which shares its campus with the Home Depot Center, that the Galaxy have agreed to limit tickets sales to 12,500 – or less than half the stadium’s 27,000-seat capacity.

Yeesh, I’d be willing to take a couple of extra tickets off their hands. And I’ll promise to take a cab, too. (C’mon, Alexi. I won you the semifinal with my presence. You NEED me!)

Last thing: Tragedy of tragedies, Zidane will not be playing with Sydney FC in the Galaxy’s Australia friendly in November. You have No Idea how much this breaks my heart. Although to be honest with you, I’ve traveled to LA to see soccer, and I’ll soon be traveling to Paris to see soccer. I couldn’t quite figure out how I was going to get to Australia. So I guess this isn’t a bad thing on balance.

    And the transit options are rather bleak as well, especially travelling from the East Bloc (eastern Ventura County). My daughter’s coach is wealthy enough to afford tix and he missed the first half while on his four hour odessey to Carson’s HDC, with nearly an hour of that spent trying to park his car for $15. If he’d taken Metro he’d have spent nearly the same amount of time but then the return trip, the Metro stops running in two of legs of the journey after 10 pm so, what’s the point of Metro then, yeah? The Rose Bowl sucked as a futbol stadium but at least those of us on the north end could actually get there.

    Course none of this matters when our side can barely mount a competitive match with a satisfactory result, eh?
