Dallas-Galaxy Game online
By: Laurie | March 14th, 2008Reader George is reporting that this game is available online at lagalaxy.com. For free, no less. It’s at 7:30 Central, which makes it 5:30 Pacific. Let’s check it out together, shall we? This is a charity game, with proceeds scheduled to benefit UNICEF.
I’m reading that Carlos Ruiz did not make the trip due to a thigh injury, alas. I would have loved to see him square off against his old teammates.
Beckham is scheduled to play, though, which is a good thing. If you’ll remember, it was his absence in the Dallas game last year that led to this game. Dallas sold innumerable “Beckham packs” of tickets to get people to the game, and then he was injured and didn’t even make the trip. Which led to signs like this one. 
Which led to the scheduling of this charity game, with tickets available to last year’s “Beckham pack” ticketholders before anyone else.
Do you think MLS has learned its lesson?

They haven’t shown much evidence of having learned their lesson, but its a bit too late anyway. They mishandled last season so badly, and lied so transparently in order to make a dollar, that they’ve already alienated a lot of the people they SAID this great marketing launch was meant to turn into fans. Lalas himself has made it clear that the goal to make the Galaxy into a “$100 million revenue” team takes precedence over his lip service about building soccer in America. Big egos rarely shrink with age and that was a foolish ego trip to embark on.
If I hadn’t so recently seen Beckham in good form elsewhere, and hadn’t found this site to follow the Galaxy on, last season’s “spotlight” might have piqued my interest in soccer but I certainly would have been too disgusted by the quest for profit with no apparent regard for product to believe that the Galaxy/Beckham can actually produce.

Two Questions:
Is Donovan still injured?
and
Should we be concerned about Ruiz getting an injury?
