So, why do we have Joe Cannon instead of Hartman? It must be so we have a goalkeeper that falls into goals with the ball.

I think its a conspiracy. We have Hartman for how many years and then we get this want-to-be just when Beckham arrives. I think the league wants Beckham to go around the league and get the attendance figures up but the home team has to win so that the fans will come back. Cannon must be in on it.

Mag, Chris Albright is the Galaxy’s starting rightback. He’s out for…oh, I’m thinking four months(?) with a torn hamstring. When healthy he’s a semi-regular on the USMNT.

What’s funny is that, when healthy, he’s always criticized. But he’s definitely a REAL rightback, as opposed to a makeshift rightback, which is what we have when he’s out.

Honesty compels me to fix one part of the record: Dan Loney deserves the credit (or blame) for the Beckham drinking game….which, it should be noted, can be expanded easily.

Ah, gotcha — thanks Laurie. Perhaps Yallop thought Jazic was someone else?

People who is Albright,and why everyone talk about him so much?

Martha, you’re right about Jazic. My amazement was that they would sub in a forward for a leftback-filling-in-at-center. This sent a midfielder (Harmse) back to the backline, and I think it moved Donovan, too, back to holding midfielder(?!?)… And yet we still had our two original forwards, so we’ve now apparently got a forward in the midfield instead of Donovan… And that’s where it all starts getting fuzzy. And the Nyquil didn’t help.

Yeah I think Jazic had a “severe ankle sprain.”

It may have been a different guy, but wasn’t Ante Jazic carted off on a stretcher? I think that was a substitution about which there was very little choice.

And I’m biased, but I think that before Randolph resorted to just shoving Dane whenever he came at him, he was just getting used every time Richards had the ball. The little man was great last night.
