Day O’ Soccer!

By: jen | June 6th, 2009

Our Galaxy (1-1-9) takes on Toronto FC (4-4-4) on the road in a matinee match this afternoon. You can catch it on FoxSportsWest, or on Direct Kick if you’ve got it, at 1:00pm Pacific.

Next, head on over to ESPN or Galavision to watch the US Men’s National Team take on Honduras in Chicago at 5:00pm Pacific.

Both games are being broadcast in high-def. Ahhh, I can’t wait.

Hopefully the Galaxy will get on okay without Landon, and Buddle will be able to step up for a full 90, or at least 75.

Even more importantly, the USMNT needs to play exceedingly well and beat the crap out of Honduras after Wednesday’s mess in Costa Rica. It was bad. Like I could cry — bad. If Bradley is smart, he’ll play Torres for the full 90 — and if Torres and Donovan can connect well, they will create effective offense.

Post your match comments here in the comments section. I’ll be here for most of the Galaxy match but will be DVRing the US, Honduras, match.

Congrats on the win. (Seattle fan says: Sigh.)

Also, thought Galaxy fans would appreciate this. Greg Vanney was commentating ast night in the Chivas-Seattle game. In about the 70th, when Claudio Suarez was subbed in, Vanney says something like, "Claudio Suarez. Interesting choice. You're putting in somebody with huge amounts of experience, but you're sacrificing all of the speed at that centerback position."

And I'm thinking, "Yeah, who would know better?"

"Ref = dumb ass"
Bob, thanks for your contribution, you are free to go, bye.

Speaking of bad calls though, if I had missed that offside I think I wouldn't be reffing anymore.
Glen

what a great goal from Buddle and Gordon set it up, awesome! who knows maybe they can begin to work well together.
Glen

great victory on the road :)
Frank

finally! yes!

Ref = dumb ass

How can the refs miss that offsides??? It was only a matter of time with settling back on defense since Gordo's goal.
Glen

missed the last few minutes of the 1st half but it looks like we held our lead into the half.
Bob

Why does the camera look so out of focus? It looks so fuzzy. Plus the camera doesn't cover the bottom two corners.

Ricketts is a stud out there!!
Glen

nice save by ricketts, I like him
Glen

team looks good out there so far
Glen

damn, just turned the game on and seen we have a goal, excellent and by Gordon no less :)
George

Wow, line-up is so crappy. Should I bother watching?
Glen

is Eddie Lewis out for yellow card accumulations?
Glen

And for our beloved Galaxy, hopefully Buddle can play a good 60-70 min's out there, we need klein /Lewis putting some nice crosses in for Buddle. damn, were gonna miss Donovan out there creating some chances and Donovan/Buddle combo link up so well. if I remember correctly a couple key players from Toronto will be missing as well.
Glen

we for sure need a good showing (MNT), not just win by some sloppy play and put 1 or 2 away but I want to see some good soccer from our guys. Connecting well and looking dangerous for the entire 90. We have some very good players but I think some of Bradley's decisions are lacking on player placement. Torres was one of the few players showing something the last game and he pulls him out at halftime, what was he thinking. I want to see Adu, Torres and maybe Davies (please no attacks on other players) out there.
