Galaxy vs. Crew on Audio. Because Visuals Might Make People Care or Something

By: Laurie | April 23rd, 2007

If you’re spinning through the channels tomorrow night looking for the Columbus Crew – LA Galaxy US Open Cup qualifier, well, just keep spinning. Because you’re not going to find it. Unless you’re in Columbus (or willing to travel there,) you’re not seeing this game. As far as I can tell, the only place it’s available is audio only on LAGalaxy.com

Granted, it’s not a league game. It’s not even an actual US Cup game. (Gone are the days when all MLS teams qualified automatically. Now the bottom teams from last season need to go through qualifiers. And that would include…? Oh, yeah, us. So this game is to see if we’re even actually good enough to play with the big boys this year. How humiliating.)

The only thing more humiliating would be to lose. Which is a possibility. The Crew aren’t doing that great this year — they currently have three points from three draws in three games. That’s not stellar, but it’s still better than we’re doing.

Still, though, you’d think there’d be video available somewhere. If not on TV, then on broadband. I’d even be happy to watch without commentary, so they could save on commentator salaries. (I’d be even happier to watch without commentary if the other option were Eric Wynalda. But I digress.)

But anyhow… Tuesday, Crew vs. Galaxy. 4:30 PST. LAGalaxy.com. Let’s cross our fingers, turn on our audio, and hope for the best. (And hope that this game doesn’t affect our performance against a rather smokin’ hot Chivas team on Saturday. Because we really need that win.)

Ian, I've just written a post on this and I feel much better now!

Once again, shock and awe, the audio stream of this game on LAGalaxy.com isn't working. The time I've spent not taking MLSNet seriously is certainly coming to a middle.

I hope you are right Lane. And yes, you are right about LA never winning at Crew Stadium. Let's hope today is the day we break that curse.

BTW, you gotta love the way I spelled convinced in my last post - coniveced. LOL! I was in a hurry damn it! LOL!

I wouldn't worry about Chivas. To me, they didn't look all that great vs. RSL. RSL was just that bad. There's no way the Galaxy give Chivas that much space in midfield - and leave people totally - TOTALLY - unmarked in the defensive third. I mean, the RSL guys were running into each other.

I'm actually more worried about the Crew. If my memory serves me correctly, LA has never one at Crew stadium. Or least they haven't in the past few years.

Kenny, it's funny. Until you mentioned it, I hadn't realized how much despair had crept into this post. *Sigh*

I'm agreeing with you about the lineup. There's a lot of talent on the team, but it hasn't been harnessed in the right way yet. Tomorrow, right?
Kenny

How sad it truly is that your faith waivers in the Galaxy, espeacially because you are not the only one!

I think we may pull a last minute win against the Crew, but...
I am still not coniveced that we have the best team on the field. Findley has to start, and Cobi has be utilized as a super sub.

And after watching the Sh!tvas play RSL, I am getting a sick feeling that I may be feeling like crap at around 9:30 Pacific Time at the Home Depot Center this Saturday. Our boys better win!
