Maybe not always freakishly skilled, but he has his moments. You guys give me such grief! :) I hope to have a San Jose pregame post up tomorrow. Thanks for the warning about our forwards. Ay yi yi.

The three players who reached the 100-cap mark at a younger age were South Korea's Cha Bum-Kun, who was 24, and Saudi Arabia's Sami Al-Jaber and Mohammed Al-Deayea, who both were 25."

Even so, I still don't feel that comfortable with him as a lone striker, or partnered with Jordan. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? How about LA’s striker situation for the SJ game:

Ruiz – Guatemala
Donovan – U.S.
Gordon – Suspended

Buddle went off with a contusion last game, but hopefully he’ll be able to play. Even so, I still don’t feel that comfortable with him as a lone striker, or partnered with Jordan. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

I think most of these ref's are crap. although this game wasn't too awfully bad from this ref, most games seem to go the other way with the US getting unfair calls.

Can somebody explain the red card given to Mastroeni? What did he do to get a second yellow? The ESPN announcers never gave an explanation. Do the ref's get evaluated? It sure seemed like a strange call. I just watched the game tonight. Can somebody explain the red card given to Mastroeni? What did he do to get a second yellow?

Hard match to watch because I am an Argentine fan plus the "local" boys are from my own continent and there were faces I've been wanting to see on the USMNT for a while and got to see them... but I found myself cheering the locals on full voiced. I was watching on DVR and it was late and my neighbor came down to see what all the commotion was about, he stayed and was impressed by what he saw. He kept saying, who's that London guy? Even if it was just the shoes, it was great stuff and I was proud to be a Galaxy fan and proud of Lando too. Of course, I was very happy with Danny Califf, a former Galaxian... a guy I used to howl at to no end at the Arroyo... he's come a very long way and I gave him a standing O.

I heard the yahoos on the 606 the other day belittling Landon and being generally negative. I don't get that, he choose not to play in Europe anymore, it was his choice and he was entitled to make. I'm just happy he's a Galaxy player, he gives 100%, i know he doesn't dive in to a lot of 50-50 balls but so what. In my opinion he is the best US born outfield player of all time.
