		<description>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 &quot;Chelsea 1 Galaxy 0 in Beckham&#039;s debut...Beckham did not score&quot;. 

I kid you not.  Classic talk down to the masses moment in broadcasting.</description>

		<description>&quot;are they really that bad?&quot;

It&#039;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&#039;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&#039;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&#039;d be around the next day, and the unbelievable media circus that&#039;s surrounded Beckham&#039;s arrival and has sucked in everybody else on the team...  Honestly, if they weren&#039;t struggling they would be inhuman.  

I do think we&#039;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&#039;d be thrilled to be wrong.)  

But I&#039;m proud of them for making it this far, and I have high hopes for next year.</description>

		<description>are they really that bad? i hear they lost against a really crappy pub team. 

alright. i&#039;ll watch a couple more L.A. galaxy games, see how &quot;great&quot; they play, maybe there just going through a bad spell,  i&#039;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&#039;s for that. :]</description>

		<description>As I said, Tina, if you thought that was bad, you haven&#039;t seen the rest of the season.  

Call me naive, but I have hope.  I truly do.</description>
