Next Leg of the US Open Cup: Galaxy Host RBNY on May 8
By: Laurie | April 26th, 2007This week, Columbus. Tomorrow, the World!!
Well, not the world, exactly. More like New York. And not tomorrow. How about May 8 instead? May 8 at 7:30 at the Home Depot Center. That’s where the Galaxy will have their next opportunity to prove that they have what it takes in the US Open Cup.
Seriously, this one worries me. I just watched my first RBNY game of the year tonight. They’re not unbeatable, but they’re definitely strong. As our RBNY Offside says, “Rather than bringing in star names, Bruce has remained true to form by recruiting a combination of experience and youthful promise.” And they do have a strong team, particularly defensively. They seem to be great at holding off the opposing team until they can get that one great strike.
On the other hand, we have a couple of star names, but one won’t show till July. And in the meantime… Well, it’s a home game. We have that in our favor, for starters. And we have a combination of experience and youthful promise too, right? I mean, we range from Cobi Jones (36) to Quavas Kirk (19 two weeks ago.) How much more range can you have? And I’m a little more comfortable after watching the game tonight, because RBNY is not unbeatable or perfect. But we’re definitely going to have to muster up some more offensive power if we don’t want our US Open Cup dreams ground to dust beneath those Red Bull-powered cleats. Know what I’m sayin’?
The Galaxy can do this, but it won’t be easy.
