This team frustrates me a little like the USMNT. They have some really great players and some really great moments. But they lack some cohesion, confidence, and most important, consistency. This team is light years away from even last year’s squad. But I feel like they are still in the rebuilding process. I can live with Beckham for half a season, which is what we will get next year. And it seems like the back line is in decent shape. But I think we need a few more young and able midfielders and attackers. Guys like Montero. Especially if we lose Donovan (which I think is only 50/50 given how much MLS will want for him. Okay, maybe 60/40 he goes). It would take a great deal of luck to win the MLS Cup, because we are certainly far from the best team. But stranger things have certainly happened.

Service = series, as in first playoff series.

So. Well. Clearly the Galaxy’s problems scoring goals hasn’t gone away even with a week’s worth of rest. That layoff didn’t help Buddle or Franklin get any sharper.

On the other hand, the team kept the Dynamo off the boards as well.

So, clearly no one wants to win the West this week. Three teams sitting at 45 points with Chivas with a game in hand.

I honestly don’t see the Galaxy getting past the first service if they can’t score. One goal in two games at this point in the season is worrisome.

well we got a point and after the play from the 1st half that could be good but we really needed the 3 to sit on top of the western standings. the next game is at home against San Jose so hopefully we can finish out the season with a home win.

On replay looked to me like Big B put his foot back to stop the ball. Oduro wastrying to tap it behind him and tripped over the ball as it hit Berhalters heel. I don’t think he dove, but I don’t think there was a foul either.

Oduro should be embarrassed for his acting, what a dive!

David, look at the replay again. Oduro wasn’t even touched. He just plain threw himself through the air.
