After Wednesday’s Pan Pacific matches in Hawaii, every report and commentary, weather traditional media or blogger, wrote off LA and were ready to give Houston the title. I can’t wait to see what they are writing today.
You can’t judge a team my only one match. Comparing the over all results, LA were the second best team on the islands…they only lost by one goal to Osaka while Houston were stuffed 6-1!!! Of course, there’s a long way to go this season. Who knows what the heck is gonna happen.
Bottom line …

I love the British ‘Chicken Little’ syndrome. I mean, everything that is a change may as well be the start of Armageddon. I read the news this morning about the EPL looking to play games overseas with a bit of a smirk on my face. I already knew what my friends in the UK were thinking. It wasn’t long before I got emails and messages on Facebook about how awful this is, how it’s the beginning of the end. How the Yanks are ruining the sport (well, the NFL did …

In 2000 Ipswich finally reached the EPL via the playoffs after several years heartbreak. They did this under the guidance of George Burley who’d been in charge at Portman Road for over five years and a squad of players who reminded fairly much the same season-to-season by selling only a couple of players to bigger clubs (like Keiron Dyer to Newcastle) to insure the bills get paid. Their first season back in the EPL Ipswich finished fifth and qualified for the UEFA Cup. This again was done with much the …

Enough already! I’m sorry, but if I read or hear one more person complain about the MLS Playoff format…well, I don’t know what I’m going to do but I’m tired of it already.
This is Year 12, and for twelve years people have complained about the format and that we have playoffs at all. Get over it people.
If the owners wanted the top teams to win through to the finals, they would probably just do away with the first round….actually not a bad idea, but it won’t happen. Besides, everyone …

Another meaningless mid-season payday for LA.
The whoring of the team is going to cost them by the playoffs. it’s all well and good that LAG and AEG are raking in the money needed to sign Beckham…however, what good is it if the team misses the playoffs again?
So, for the 1,638th time, put a team on the field which will win consistently, and the fans will show up. How much longer until AEG have gone to this well too many times?

I’m thinking there was more going on during the match that we’ll never hear about.

..for these international money making tours?
Yeah, I’ve been pretty critical of how LA Galaxy whored their match with Real Madrid. However, I’m not the only one being critical.
Things didn’t go as smooth as everyone had hoped in Asia. It wasn’t that long ago that most people there acted like everyone in LA did. Now FIFA is saying these tours are a bad thing. Here’s a shocker, it seems big Euro teams doing these whirlwind tours are taking money out of the pockets of the local clubs. though I’m sure AEG …

What is it about the news today that the planned MLS All-Star game against Real Madrid so amusing? Certainly, it could have been a great event for ABC to broadcast. However, I do not think Don Garber and co really thought things through very well. When MLS first announced the match up, it was due to take place in June. With Real Madrid possibly being involved, the date of the match was moved to go up against the ChampionsWorld Series which involved just about every other major team in Europe …

YAWN….
Maybe it’s just me, but for some reason I just couldn’t get excited about any of the games on offer this weekend.
Yeah, ABC had the MLS All-Star Game in DC, but so what? Watching a bunch of guys who, for the most part, have never played on the same team together knock the ball around for an hour and a half. Sorry, but for a “showcase” event, I find it very difficult to care.
Of course, I could switch to Fox Sports World and watch some ChampionsWorld Series matches. But …
