Note to all you new Galaxy “fans”

By: Laurie | July 22nd, 2007

Dear new Galaxy fans:

We are so glad you stopped by to enjoy our beautiful game. We hope you learn to love our players (and we do have some nice ones in addition to Beckham), as well as the flow and movement and excitement of the game. Maybe someday you’ll even love it as much as we do.

However:

If you are one of the people who requires that ESPN cut away from the action (!!!!) to do interviews with idiotic ditzes like Jennifer Love-Hewitt, who has never been to a soccer game before, or self-important nimrods like Arnold Schwarzenegger…

Well, we don’t need you. Go home. Watch American Idol reruns.

And a huge thanks to Drew Carey, who does actually love soccer, for essentially telling the stupid twit interviewing him to go back to the game because he himself gets pissed when they miss a goal to do stupid interviews.

Amen, Drew. Amen.

    Wait, there was a match being played? I was too busy looking for Tom Cruise to notice.

    I appreciate Drew Carey’s soccer fandom, but the rest of the celebrity crap is over done.

    Did you see the guns on Bonnie Bernstein? I wouldn’t call her a twit to her face? She made Ahnold look flaco.

    As I said, Tina, if you thought that was bad, you haven’t seen the rest of the season.

    Call me naive, but I have hope. I truly do.

    are they really that bad? i hear they lost against a really crappy pub team.

    alright. i’ll watch a couple more L.A. galaxy games, see how “great” they play, maybe there just going through a bad spell, i’ll ignore the fact that they are second to last in the MLS west conference standings.

    but i most give you credit, its great that you still have faith in your time, i give you kudo’s for that. :]

    “are they really that bad?”

    It’s a lot more complicated than a simple good/bad thing.

    This is a team which has not played together. Ever. Literally. (Beckham did light training on his own this week, but hasn’t even scrimmaged with the team.) Four other players have been here less than two months. A number of others are new this year. It’s very difficult to develop cohesion when you have no idea who your teammates are or how they play.

    And to that the trading frenzy of the past two months, where nobody knew whether or not they’d be around the next day, and the unbelievable media circus that’s surrounded Beckham’s arrival and has sucked in everybody else on the team… Honestly, if they weren’t struggling they would be inhuman.

    I do think we’re going to miss the playoffs this year. There is just not the time to knit as a group, and the schedule congestion for the rest of the season is unbelievable. (I may be wrong. I’d be thrilled to be wrong.)

    But I’m proud of them for making it this far, and I have high hopes for next year.

    Other great ESPN moment of the night occurred after the game. The ESPN sports ticker at the bottom of the screen at one point scrolled across “Chelsea 1 Galaxy 0 in Beckham’s debut…Beckham did not score”.

    I kid you not. Classic talk down to the masses moment in broadcasting.
