My captain scored 4! (Red hair and freckles...He's under 5 feet and weighs 110 soaking wet, but he's a Laser Guided Missle!...I call him Money jr. now) and 3 different players scored the rest..it was an Awesome display.
We have mercy rule..gag...You can't be up by more than 5 goals. If you win by more than 5 points you get Points deducted from your standings. I know......LIBERAL WEAKNESS.
For Example...last year my team the 'Blackhawks' 12 year/olds. That team only lost 1 game out of 10 during the regular season. One of those games we were up Big...5-0...so what we have to do is basically play Keep away from the other team.
The other teams coach started telling his players to let us score...As to inflict the penalty in standings on us.
I don't like it, but the 'Mercy Rule' only works if the other coach doesn't GIVE UP.
The game quickly disintegrated into 'Unwatchable'....And...I was about to go 'Pop' the other coach...breathe.
So...that's the reason the other team scored 5 yesterday... otherwise we controlled the whole game..excellent.
Hey Obama?..We need to know where you stand on the 'Mercy rule'?
Speaking of controlling a game...the Galaxy is in bad shape.
They tied Real salt lake but if not for Edson Buddle..RSL made them look silly. RSL just couldn't get the biscuit in the basket. Hockey reference for Saracuda!
As for the Galaxy...They just recently fired their coach.
Enter Bruce Arena. Arena's time with the NY Red Bulls was largely seen as a failure. But few US soccer coaches can stack up to Bruce. He won five national championships at Virginia and two MLS Cups as D.C. United's coach, then led the U.S. team to the 2002 World Cup quarterfinals. Arena has spent the past nine months in his home in Virginia, wondering when the opportunity would come for him to overcome the only coaching failures of his career...the first-round exit in the 2006 World Cup and his inability to win a playoff game with the Red Bulls.
The Los Angeles Galaxy team is on the verge of a meltdown. The international player deadline has passed and the MLS trade deadline is only a month away. Beckham and Landon Donovan are crippled. Looks like an early exit.
Can Arena handle the circus like atmosphere that David Beckham's presence brings to the Galaxy?
Can he persuade Landon Donovan to stay in the MLS and help him turn things around? We'll see next year.
The 'Other One' snubs stadium full of kids.
Cal state Dominguez Hills...great campus and One of the Best logos ever.
Home Depot center looked like a psychedelic soup of the Ugliest soccer uni's ever. Just my opinion...but whoever designed the Uni's and their color schemes for this year should be fired immediately.
Lots of teams like mine got a terrific deal on tickets to the Game. The plan was the Teams where going to down to field and do the High five line for the Galaxy coming out of the tunnel.
BUT...Only one parent allowed...and No cameras on the field...DOH
AND....Beckham was a no show...Donovan...no show. I don't need pics of Buddle..he's pretty good though.
So the kids were stoked to be out on the field...but the 'Other One' was nowhere to be found.
Hey Obama...maybe he just Voted Present...
Here's a view from the Hot dog stand...
Left towards the Boxes...
Right towards the Bleachers...Those upper bleachers are made of Metal...when the people in the bleachers get excited they start Stomping on the metal...Oh man...sounds like a Train on steroids...and if you are standing beneath those seats, maybe trying to buy a beer or a $90.00 jersey...you must plug your ears.
They had a beautiful version of the National Anthem and baby fireworks...
And here's one at night during the Game...
I hope Arena can help the Galaxy...should be fun to watch them......next year.
can you do cycling?
