Galaxy Head to Vancouver, BC
By: Laurie | November 6th, 2007You can tell I’m from Washington, because my headline says “Vancouver, BC.” Washingtonians are incapable of just saying “Vancouver.” This is because if we ever say just “Vancouver,” our listener will invariably respond, “You mean BC? Or Washington?” Because yes, there are two of them.
Don’t you just love how I fill your brains with useless and irrelevant facts? I just want you to be prepared next time you’re stuck with an idiot partner on bar trivia night.
But at any rate. The Galaxy have arrived in BC for tomorrow’s game with little fanfare. David Beckham got to the airport and was asked for his autograph only once. (How things can change in a few months.)
Taking a sidewalk exit after clearing Customs, Beckham walked past several Vancouver news media members without comment, stopping only to sign an autograph for 12-year-old Ian MacKay of Surrey. Beckham wrote to MacKay: “To Ian, Love D. Beckham. 23X,” signifying his jersey number.
“I was thrilled,” said MacKay. “I had come to the airport to meet my sister, Laura, who is arriving from England, but I heard that Beckham and the Galaxy were also arriving today, so I stuck around in the hope that I might meet David Beckham. To get his autograph is a big thrill.”
Did you know that Beckham never says no to an autograph request? I read that it was because when he was young, one of his idols (who he won’t name) wouldn’t give him an autograph and he still remembers it. I love that about him.
But anyhoo. The game is tomorrow. Tickets are still available. The Seattle Sounders have loaned the Vancouver Whitecaps two of their top players, Roger Levesque and Taylor Graham, which should make life interesting. If they’d tossed in striker Sebastien LeToux as well, I might have to give the advantage to the Whitecaps. Vancouver isn’t bad, though, so it should be a good game.
You have no idea how tempted I am to drive up.

Vancouver, WA is to Vancouver, BC
as Cairo, Georgia is to Cairo, Egypt.That is, if anyone says, “I’m going for a vacation to Cairo,” you don’t really have to ask, “Which one?”
Now you have a new useless fact.

According to a Yahoo article:
“Assistant Trevor James will serve as interim coach when the Galaxy plays friendlies in Vancouver, British Columbia, on Wednesday and Minneapolis on Sunday.”
