Don Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 i cant see DCU faring much better sunday afternoon facing Real. if i was Soehn i wouldnt keep the starters in for more than a half, if even that. after that grueling match in El Salvador im sure the legs are worn out, and this is a great game to rest Moreno and Gomez for the majority of this match. also, if they even want a chance vs Real, they gotta play 4 in the back.

Saturn Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I'm going to be pissed as hell if Soehn plays the starters more than a couple minutes to break a sweat. Last thing we need to do is tire them out when we have a so many upcoming games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last thing we need to do is tire them out when we have a so many upcoming games.lol. You know that they're gonna play a half at least, just to save face because the reserve team's probably gonna get ran off the field. I will say this, I didn't expect TFC to get beat THAT badly. Of course nobody had them winning the friendly, but nobody had them losing by 4 goals. On a couple of those goals, it was basically pure class and the TFC players standing around looking at CR7 & Co. like "What the hell are we supposed to do about THAT?!"Impressive showing by Real Madrid. They're definitely looking ready for La Liga. TFC's first team, on the other hand, looked tired from their trip to Puerto Rico earlier and were just like "Can we get back to league play please?"

TFoA Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Galaxy pick up a big win tonight in New England, 2-1, with New England's 1 coming on a PK with about 7 minutes left in the game. Landon Donovan's thoughts on this?"It's unfortunate we gave up the penalty because I don't really think they deserved to score."Greatness.With the win, the Galaxy (as of right now) are in 2nd place in the west with 31 points, 2 points ahead of Seattle with 29 who plays RSL. So yeah, go RSL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just hoping they don't and see it only as some extra cash and practice for the reserves. We have played enough international games over the years that this shouldn't be anything else but that.

BrySmalls Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 A Beckham-less L.A. Galaxy soundly beat the Chicago Fire last night 2-0 at Toyota Park. The Man of the Match was Mike Magee who had a goal and assisted on Landon Donovan's 10th goal of the year. From what I've seen, much to my chagrin, the Galaxy are legit and will definitely be an obstacle to overcome in the playoffs. I am stoked to be going to the L.A. Galaxy - DC United clash on Saturday!

TFoA Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I think most of that was due to the Fire currently spinning their wheels in the mud as a team. IIRC, last week they had a locker room fight, and most of their crucial defense & midfield has been absolutely decimated by defense. So as much as I'd like to say that the Galaxy were really impressive, it was more of them not giving the Fire a chance to revitalize themselves. Still a solid win, & Donovan continues to play some excellent football in the MLS.Hopefully it continues with a similarly-struggling DC United side. Beckham will be back and sending beautiful passes to the strikers, and hopefully Buddle & "The Price is Right" Eskandarian can return as well. Once this team can field a full-strength attack, they're going to be scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
