It’s a Funny Ol’ Game…

I have to laugh sometimes at how people jump from one extreme to another. We seem to have become a bi-polar society or something—not that I’m an expert on the topic or anything. The American soccer fan is a prime example of this.

Forget all this Beckham-mania. How ’bout Fish? Not only did he score all 3 in the win the other night…look at the run he made to be there to finish the third one. That’s not the Fish we’ve seen the last couple of seasons.

OK, it was a preseason friendly against a make-shift team from China…but I still love the effort Fish gave on that goal.

Well, it seems a few things have happened in the last few days. Guess I should catch up a bit.
The big news, for LA fans, is that Fish will be returning. LA fans are split by this move. They either love or hate it. I’m in the camp that believes no one is going to want to face the three-headed monster of Becks, Donovan and Fish. Of course, that assumes they aren’t injured and Fish doesn’t keep tripping over the lines marking the penalty area. …

Nine Games!!!!???? Ok, now I could see if he kicked someone else that nine games might be needed.  But this was Ruiz!!!  Oh well, Clark still had a good season.

The PA played that tune by the 80’s Bay Area Wimp Rockers at Half-time of the match Saturday night in San Jose, but it could have been more for the visitors than the home side. The Journey tune seemed to spur on the Galaxy more than the Quakes. Ya gotta love it.
Ok, I know the Smurfans will come back with comments similar to Dominic Kinnear’s

“One team wanted to play tonight, and the other team wanted to get out of here with a result,” Kinnear said Saturday night at Spartan Stadium …

I didn’t watch the game on Sunday, but it seems Carlos Ruiz was a no show. However, on Thursday he was in Dallas opening a new Hooters restaurant. Mmmm…as usual, there’s something Fishy going on here.
What’s the current odds he won’t be in MLS next season?
Article says he’s tired of all the travel involved in MLS play…of course, if he’s in Guatemala right now, there’s even more travel he’s had. Must be nice to have all those frequent flyer miles.

Yes, it’s been a while since I last posted on here. My life has taken a few unexpected turns which has led me to move halfway cross the country and away from LA. But if you’re reading this, I doubt you care about me so I’ll just promise now that the new MLS season has started to be more vigilant with my posts.
So, here are a few recent observations of mine:

The whole Landon Donovan to LA deal seems a bit strange any way you look at it. The AEG spin …

We’ve started the second season of two-leg playoffs in MLS and the complaining about lack of home field advantage has returned.  The primary argument is that the new format doesn’t give the team with the better regular season record a real advantage.  True, that the way it was designed.  Yes, it does make the fact that teams have played 30 matches to weed out 2 teams only to play a two-leg playoff with no advantage for the team who’d preformed better.  Columbus who hasn’t lost a match in over half …
