Heading to the HDC for the Open Cup?
By: jen | April 7th, 2009
We want you!
If you are attending the game tonight between the Galaxy and the Rapids we would love to have your comments on the game. The match is not being televised, so us lowly out-of-towners will be missing all the action.
Will Berhalter start in an attempt to solidify the defense before this weekend?
Will Donovan rest after 3 games in 8 days?
Is Buddle better?
Will Kirovski see any action?
What will the Galaxy do to neutralize Conor Casey?
If you are attending the game, please come back and offer your thoughts here in the comment section.

BS yellow card against Galaxy.

Nathan, come over to section 103 at the half and I will meet you up top with a ticket. I’ll be the one with a rose in my mouth. No, really, guy in a hooded Galaxy sweatshirt.

OK. I’m in a blue watch cap with binocs around my neck.

halftime.

A couple of decent chances for the galaxy. Franklin barely missed a tap in as it careened across the goal line. And just missed another tough one at close range.

Patterson off for Klein. Bowen off for Gordon.

Overall the quality of play was pretty ragged as you might expect from the B teams on the field.

Gordon scored a goal but called back on a terrible offside call.

Goal waved off for offsides. Disputable call, I’d like to say.

Berhalter off for Magee.

Game starting to get eye-bleedingly bad.

Klein nearly!!

And the game goes to overtime. The next 30 minutes are going to be frustrating. You would never know that the Galaxy are up a man.

Nobody can take a dreary and essentially meaningless game to penalties quite the way LA can.

Galaxy loses on PKs. 4-2. Burpo saves Magee and ummm, Klein?

For those following the real drama of the night, Nathan and I did manage to meet up. Sorry to keep you in suspense so long.
Oh, and we saw the game. That was the downside.Posted from

Looks like you had the running blog from a couple of guys
with better tech than I have but I’ll leave my impressions
of the game if only to get it out of my system.Overall, sad. Just plain sad. Up a man for damn near
100 minutes and we can’t seal the deal.In the credit where credits due department, Saunders
came up with a pair of very nice saves at the end
of the game to keep us from loosing earlier. How
pathetic is that?I thought Berhaulter looked pretty good. He kept a
back line of three rookies in good shape and provided
a leading force back there.Gonzalez made a few mistakes but in general contributed
more positive than negative. DeLaGarza looked much
better than a couple of weeks ago.Kyle Patterson is just a human turn over. Nuff Said.
Miglioranzi did not impress. Given his seniority we
must be paying him more than he seems to be worth.I really like Jordan’s hustle and work rate but he just
doesn’t have any flair with the ball. He had several
chances he didn’t make anything of and provided the best
save of the night for Colorado when he took a blast from
Gordon in the chest to prevent a goal. He also couldn’t
get a break from the Ref. The Colorado defensemen just
pushed him around all night.Tristan Bowen was sort of neutral but, heck, he’s just
17 and I think this was his first time in a Galaxy
uniform.Gordon came on in the 60th minute and has some good
chances but he still has a first touch of stone. Klein
also came on in the 60th and provided some good service
but that’s about it.I don’t think I have anything to say about the other
players, McGee, Tudela, Marshall or Kirovski.Posted from

I liked our defense way better tonight. I don’t want to see Sanneh on the pitch anymore.I’d much rather have Marshall in there. We played really well but we just couldn’t finish.
There were many shots but not many of them were on target. We had a couple good ones on target but Burpo got them. Alan Gordon had a goal and then there was a BS offsides called on it.
We can not go to PKs while we still have Saunders. He is pure garbage… and then a little worse than that on PKs. Saunders did have one really amazing save though.

Thank you for your thoughts guys! I’ve got a good picture of the game now.
Nathan and David — cool! Is this our first ever lagalaxy@theoffside meet up? I can just see you two next to each other in the second half texting to the blog. You guys rock!

Thank you for this, David. I would have had a hard time sleeping otherwise.

Now if the defense can hold w/ Berhalter, Marshall, Gonzalez (hey, did Franklin play??)…now if the D can hold, maybe get a healthy Ricketts back in the net (no one really knows about that card yet), and then get service from Beckham to Donovan and Buddle w/ Eddie Lewis and Klein filling in the gaps, we could actually have something…someday…maybe…;-)

Franklin was playing at Right Mid if I recall correctly. I made a mistake up there when I said we played really well. I meant to say we played much better. There was more passing and a lot less wild balls over the top from the back.
