Hello! Fantastic web site, I really like your writing style. Very distinctive and concise. I don’t have time to read everything right now, I found your site while I was looking for something else on Fox News but I have bookmarked the home page and will return very soon to see the latest. I am so admiring of Sarah Palin for what she is standing up for. I thought she did really great on Oprah’s show. Did you see it? What did you think? Please visit my web site at http://www.msfrw.com. It has some articles about Sarah that I think you might find interesting. Thank you again for a really nice web site. Keep up the great work!

Rusty, I didn’t mean he shouldn’t play defense. I meant he shouldn’t be dropping way back to the defensive thrid to collect passes and then start attacks. It pulls him way too far back to paloy to his strengths, which are those killer shorter passes into space that spring Donovan or a nice cross onto the head of Gordon.

By all means, play defense, but just because you aren’t getting good passes after the defense has turned to offense, don’t drop farther adn farther back. Get some patience and stay in position. The ball will come. The team will remember the best passer of the ball in MLS is on the field.

I have to disagree with you about Beckham playing defense. Frankly, I like seeing him play both sides of the game. It shows his personnel commitment to the team, which I don’t think he can show enough of at this stage. Besides, given his deadly longballs, our transition becomes that much more lethal. Just think of the Beckham-Donovan-Gordon goal against AC Milan. Very few MLS teams can compete against that kind of a threat.

Come on RalphyBoy, you and I both know that if Eskandariam and Buddle were both healthy, then neither Gordon or Kirovski would be starting. Just look at the game against Red Bull a month ago. In my book that makes them second string.

Having said that, I’m developing a soft spot for Gordon and love his work rate and his arial dimension.

2nd string offense? Interesting, since those 2 second stringers were involved with landon on both goals….how about a little support for everyone on the field working their arses off while “he who shall not be named” spends more time walking around, arguing calls etc. I dont care if he stays or goes, just play the fricking game when your standing on the pitch, get on with it!

I have been expecting Becks to announce at the end of the year that he will play full seasons for Milan and half seasons for the Galaxy. This quote at least cinches the first part of that equation (or if you believe conspiracies, lays the publicity groundwork for making the transition):

“Beckham knows well that if he doesn’t return to a big European championship in December he’ll have no chance for the World Cup,” Capello was quoted as saying by Monday’s La
Gazzetta dello Sport.

It is definitely a team effort and Beckham alone does nothing. My point is that his addition seems to have sparked something. We proved last year that there has to be something there to spark for him to matter. Last year, adding Becks was like throwing a match on a log. It burned a bit (the log here being Donovan). This year we actually have kindling and could dtart a blaze with the Becks fire. All credit to the coaches and players though for building the firepit.

I see a TEAM playing well and I could care less if it’s Beckham or Birchall on the pitch. Beckham has been here for just the last 3 games and a few of you are giving him all the credit for all the hard work the coaching staff and all the players have put in since day one of the season. Don’t lose your focus on admiring one guy for something the entire TEAM has done. Idol worship is for sycophants and children.
