Oh Yeah, the Galaxy Plays the Houston Dynamo Sunday
By: jen | June 27th, 2009
You know, after that other game I heard about. Something about Brazil being in a final . . .
Our Galaxy hosts the Houston Dynamo on Sunday — game time 7pm, shown on ESPN2 and Deportes.
The Dynamo sits atop the Western standings with 28 points, and whoops every Eastern team on points as well.
The Galaxy are in a bit of a slump, having lost their last two matches. They are clearly missing Landon Donovan’s presence.
But don’t assume the game is lost just yet. Houston is missing two of their top starters to injuries suffered last week: Defenders Wade Garrett, and Craig Waibel. In addition, they are without Ricardo Clark who is in the Confederations Cup Final against Brazil with Landon Donovan.
With it being a home game, and Houston being without three key players, we should be competitive.

Starting lineup:
Buddle – Gordon
Lewis – Magee – Miglioranzi – Kirovski
Dunivant – Berhalter – Gonzalez – DelagarzaAwesome. Kirovski’s starting with Magee and Gordon. It’s an offensive juggernaut.
Well, it’s offensive anyway.

The HDC is playing a bunch of Michael Jackson hits in the time before tha game. Nice touch.

I still don’t get starting Magee, Miglioranzi, and Kirovski, but leaving Klein on the bunch. I know he is a good sub, but I’d rather see him start and help power them forward and come off later, hopefully with a lead to defend.

Landon Donovan is now my favorite player in the world.
As for the Galaxy, Houston seems better than them in practically every position.

Looks like the groubds crew gave the oitch a Brazilian. In the hair sense not the futbol sense.

Lewis and Berhalter are having a disastrous first 15 minutes…

Alan Gordon can’t score with his feet. Wide open look and he blsts wide.

And the Lewis redeems himself with a cracking assist to Duni!

You know you’re in desperate shape when your left back is scoring your goals. But beggars can’t be choosers and if Dunivant is willing to chip it in, I’ll take it.

Who sucked all the life out of the game?

Wow. So that was not the domination-fest I expected from the Dynamo. Both teams looked like they were running at half-speed.
Alan Gordon having a typical Alan Gordon game. Don’t paly the ball to his feetM just feed him crosses in the box.
Magee actually doing a few good things, but not enough not conistently enough.
Kirovski completely pointless in this game. Just put in Klein already.
Backline getting it done. Berhalter settled down, delagarza shutting down Ashe, and Dunivant had the goal. Gonzalez a monster in the air and all over the middle of the pitch.
Buddle getting frustrated with lack of good pases to him, but he’s also tried to be fancy a couple of times when a simple pass would have done the trick.
Need to get him more involved or the Dynamo is going to eventually put one past Ricketts.

Please put in Klein. Please.

Uh oh. Gonzalez injured. Sanneh in.

Hate to see Omar go out. Our central D now has a combined age of what, 72? And yes, please get Klein in there already!

What a play! AJ slides in and alights with the ball. Crosses it out to Lewis who drops it back in to Buddle, whose header goes just wide. Finally some style and excitement.

How much do we miss Landon right now?

Like the deserts miss the rain.
But right now I miss Klein. Remember when he used to play for the Galaxy?!

Yes! Klein. Finally.

Kinda ugly win but I will take it.

I cannot believe that we escaped with a victory tonight. Defense was tough all night, even after Gonzalez came out. Still have q’s about the offense but it was enough tobight.
Houston looked gassed. Did they have a midweek game?

good win and a tough one at that. damn, got pretty scrappy out there. Ricketts came up with some outstanding saves to keep the 3 points. would have liked to see Jordon get that goal at the end.

it will sure be nice to get Donovan back to setup some passing to Buddle and to have another offensive weapon.

Dear Galaxy, I love you for not allowing Houston to get any more points.

Just some thoughts from Section 131 last night…
Gordon trying to score on a breakaway = slow & comedic.
Line for the pregame $1 beer = slow & not comedic.
Seeing Klein come in finally = AWESOME.
Michael Jackson songs on the PA = AWESOME.
The dance crew pre-game (did anyone else think they looked like they were wearing black leggings with big white adult diapers) = NOT AWESOME.Great win, Galaxy! What’s our record with Donovan @ the Confeds Cup? 2W-2L? I’ll take that!!!

New book on Beckham. You can read an excerpt at the link below. Makes me nervous about his return.
