NE 1-0 Galaxy

I couldn’t see the game (at a wedding, then sitting in a ferry line for 2 1/2 hours trying to get home), but let’s see if I can get this right anyway:

We played poorly. David Beckham didn’t play. We lost.

What an odd sense of déjà vu I am feeling right now. I feel like I’m in the movie “Groundhog Day,” reliving the same event over and over and over again. Except in the movie didn’t the guy learn from each time he lived the same event and go on to improve his life?

What was different about this game relative to all the others? Let’s see… Abel Xavier is out with tendinitis. (I knew it was only a matter of time. He hasn’t looked himself the past two games. Anybody know which tendon we’re talking about?) Mike Randolph filled in.

On the positive side, just by looking at the numbers, it looks like the team is taking more shots — 13 vs. 17 for NE. And four were on goal, vs. six for NE. So that’s something. Right?

*Sigh.* Are we writing off the playoffs yet, or should we allow ourselves to hope for another week or two?

Los Angeles Galaxy — Joe Cannon, Chris Klein, Ty Harden, Mike Randolph, Ante Jazic, Quavas Kirk (Gavin Glinton 46), Kevin Harmse, Peter Vagenas, Edson Buddle, Landon Donovan, Carlos Pavon (Alan Gordon 66).
Substitutes Not Used: Mike Caso, Steve Cronin, Josh Tudela, Kyle Veris
