Doubt Chelsea go want to beat them bad.

Is true the Galaxy is a mickey mouse team? ;D (owned by Disney)

-
Mourinho said they made an agreement of no aggresion if Beckham plays and they would let him play and do his thing. I guess they gonna make him score too.

Beckham is the focus in a Galaxy v Chelsea game and he is not even the best player on the field.

Me to I just really want to see the match. To see how Essien and Drogba and dem looking in the preseason. If Donovan and Becks decide to make a contribution that would be decent too.
-
best case scenario....Galaxy win, becks score and get man of DE match...MLS get much needed promotion which will be great for DE league....Trinis could get more contracts...
It eh go hurt Chelsea cause Dem could still go on and win DE EL,champions league and FA cup and nobody go remember this preseason game...
-
Hate to ruin this eh ....but beckham have a damaged angle ent

And now they interviewing the hollywood waggonists. Jennifer Love-Hewitt saying how excited she is about soccer, but this is the first live game she ever watch.

I take it that you don't watch too much TV...because that has been an Adidas theme for the entire year now...Gilbert Arenas and Tim Duncan (among others) has a similar spot, stickman figure giving first person narration of his life.

One commentator said there should be no offsides in this game and tommy smith replied ''WHAT'' in ah sarcastic way then the commentator replied ''just kidding''in an embarrased tone. ;D

What harm has American 'hype' done? MLS is well on it's way to recouping it's investment, via ticket sales, television contracts and sale of apparel...there's no such thing as bad publicity and in marketing publicity means $$
Now...onto your other points. You tuned in to see Chelsea, but the bulk of talk in the thread has little to do with Chelsea, and a lot to do (negatively so) with Beckham, MLS and the LA Galaxy. Reminds me of Statler and Waldorf, the two old muppets in the balcony, who for all the world can't understand why they come to see the Muppet Show...but they show up anyways to criticize.
The forest actually is the sport of football/soccer...and it's growth in the last great football frontier.

dat jackass name is eric wynalda
The absolute worst part about having to watch football in America.
-
Wynalda is not the same man who say If Sancho hair wasn't long, then Crouch wouldn't be able to pull it.
This ass also says quite often that he doesn't like refs and he really does think there shouldn't be offside.

He actually said something to the effect that if you step on the pitch with dreadlocks then you kinda have to accept getting your hair pulled as being part of the game....
An even worse comment.
thus far Chelsea suffering from a critical lack of finishing despite dominating play.

yes i came to watch the game and chelsea play and therein lie meh issue. i watching football all meh life and not even when maradona or pele etc have been playing has there been more hype opver one player over the rest of the team. what about the game....they even seem to be forgettign that they tryign to make the game mor epopular..u think by having jennifer love hewit go to watch football or half ah dem poeple there actuallyc are bout the sport???
if the stadium was full ah mexcians i woulda say well yes.... but its all botu beckham nto football. let them do they do,
dat kinda hting...could only do so much. it go benefit the youths but them and all go miss de important issue about it in my opnion.
only time i see mor einterest in a player is when tendulkar playing in india and maybe lara in trini.
let them play they soccer yes...de rest ah de world will fight up with de football
-
The Governator looking rell old and like he doing that face lift thing, he say he use to play football when he was small, can you imagine that?
-
Kalou purgin and Xavier only collecting bullet in front of the goal. The man like he in the way of every shot.

Watching sports in the US and watching sport elsewhere in the world is not the same...US execs market the respective sport not as a 'game'...which is what you want, but rather as an experience. While I don't agree with it (I can do without the requisite shots of Jack Nicholson, and Denzel and Spike et al) but the idea is that this is a hip or happening event that people should want to experience first hand. The sport is paramount, but you have to bear in mind that soccer is being marketed to an audience that's largely unfamiliar with it...so their initial interest in the sport would be minimal...the hope is to seed that and watch it grow. Your petulant dismissal of "soccer" vs football notwithstanding.

i know viewing sports in the US different. Hence ah suffering here and dat has been meh gripe from de begining. dais all. i more feeling sorry for becks actually, but dais me. He dealing witht he most fickle socitey in d e world.
yes petulance is the luxury of youth(in my case relative youth ;D)
-
My wife who is an american say. "I feeling shame"
I asked she why? She say "we ain't have nobody good so we have to buy one". This coming from a none fan eh.
-
This game playing really slow. The game against the Korean team was way faster than this snooze. I hope Chelsea up the tempo in the second1/2 and put in about 3. Their is a chasm in the technical and tactic level of Chelsea to the Galaxy team.
Or yes Landon on the field too.

You make some legitimate points here. The American marketing machine is running at full stem in this game. As a football fan however, it is really disgusting to see one player touted above the actual event in such a brazen way. There are at least 4 world class players on Chelsea who seem be getting only "honourable mentions" in this game.
Beckham take off he left boot, they talk bout that
Beckham crouches over, the talk bout that
Beckham shouts 'foul' from de bench, they talk bout that
Beckham stands up, they get excited.
Stueps
Football is theatre on the field, not off it.

I can't disagree with anything that you said...but the fact that this is Beckham's first game, that there was so much hype over his signing...and for how much he signed...Americans are tuned in to see the hype. Some preseason game featuring a bunch of guys whose names they can't pronounced is peripheral. To be fair they are giving little capsules on some of the bigger names (Drogba, Terry, Cech have all been featured already).
I see your location says Trincity...it unfortunate that this is the only feed international audiences have available, because this game isn't being geared towards the international audience, thus your disappointment.

Becks boots looking best

Ah heard another one say today "soccer is ah ceecee sport" :cursing:
Man on here say baseball is not ah 'manly sport'...next one call it rounders. Ignorance isn't limited to any one side or the other.

The reason this game on ESPN is not because of Chelsea...its because of Becks...ESPN wanted to broadcast this game because of him..all the hype is about him...the few Americans who tune in to watch ESPN and did not change the channel is because dey want to see Becks..NOT Chelsea!
-
I have tuh admit...something surreal about seeing Beck in that Galaxy uniform.
Other observations:
Maria Shriver is god-awful ugly.
K.G. at a football game???
Xavier is playing like a man possessed along the Galaxy backline.

I was considering getting it, but I already have the Germany shirt and find they too similar. I also not feeling de 'Bayern Munich' collar....but who knows, I might still cop a Becks shirt after all de talk.
-
You see the media circle around that lil boy pre-kick-off? That's pure nonsense, i don't care about the grand scheme for him and all that but him on the bench with other players and every body circle him taking pics can't be good for the other players' morale.

Stars turn out to welcome Beckhams
http://msn.foxsports.com/soccer/story/7050800

Associated Press, Updated 3 hours ago
LOS ANGELES (AP) - David Beckham attracted Hollywood stars Sunday the same way he draws defenders on the soccer field.
In large numbers.
A glittery array of Oscar winners and entertainment world luminaries turned out for what was billed as an official welcome-to-Los Angeles party for the international soccer icon and his wife, pop singer Victoria.
With Tom Cruise and Will Smith playing co-hosts for the invitation-only bash at the Museum of Contemporary Art's Geffen Contemporary gallery, the guest list was long and deep.
Director Ron Howard and producer Brian Grazer were among the first to arrive. Brooke Shields was there.
"Desperate Housewives" star Eva Longoria popped in, followed by "American Idol" creator Simon Fuller, who managed the Spice Girls pop group that launched Victoria Beckham to fame.
Wesley Snipes and Quincy Jones came to welcome the soccer star, as did Bruce Willis, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher. Vivica Fox showed up too.
Others expected to drop in ranged from George Clooney to Oprah Winfrey to Steven Spielberg.
The Beckhams arrived with Cruise, accompanied by wife Katie Holmes, and Smith, with his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.
Cruise flew in for the bash from Germany, where he is shooting his newest film.
For the British Beckhams, it was a taste of classic Hollywood. A red carpet was rolled out at the entrance. A small army of police patrolled streets for blocks. There were limousines and TV cameras by the dozen. Helicopters thumped overhead.
Inside, the warehouse-like venue was transformed with couches, elaborate lighting and floral arrangements into a glittery nightclub. Music blared.
If Beckham was embarrassed by deafening cheers from fans at his sold-out debut Saturday as a Los Angeles Galaxy player, he must have been dumbfounded by the profusion of celebrity sparkle at the party.

Just some observstions:
Posh Beckham is get on like she is the queen or something wit she skrawny backside, Becks go have nuff ting to look at now that he in the states
LA Galaxy were outclassed by Chelsea, who were playing in second gear and still rusty up front.
Xavier was the best thing on the field for Galaxy
Donovan was bearly noticeable save for the one header he got
Becks did not really make a difference- Chelsea still dominated
Americans think he is the Maradonna of his time and that he will score many goals- yeaah right
The media hype was a overbearing
Much respect to Beckham I think he is a great player but I feel it was a mistake to come to Galaxy, he should have gone back to the premiere League
-
Somehow, "the potential to earn $250 million" and "mistake" just doh belong in the same thought. Becks in he 30s.

besides it too damn hot for that now anyway.
-
Anyone heard Murinho comments on FSC post game interview? The man said that Becks not playing with high class players, so he will have to adjust, and that his team mates will learn a lot.
-
At least, if Becks hold true to his word, and becomes "just one of the guys" with his teammates, then even de lil youth who making $17K go get invite (at Beck's house) to events with attendees like Eva Longoria, the Cruises, the Pitts, etc. He probably woulda never get dem chances w/o Becks. Just one ah de perks.

...and dai'z precisely what Becks say he intend.
I have tuh laff too at some of these men who say Becks make ah mistake coming here. Men like they forget 6 months ago everybody in England was writing him off? From a footballing standpoint you can't compare playing in MLS to playing in Liverpool or ManU...both of whom had interests, but we don't know what they were offering relative to the $32mil MLS was throwing his way...with a potential to earn up to 6 X that amount when all is said and done.

de ting in your avatar also coasting a wicked top, and certainly not too hot for that now anyway... ;D

Money talks!

At age 32, Beck made the right move. Can he bring LA from the cellar?? That!! I am am not sure about.

Ent!!!!!!!!
Some of dem same men on here, will uproot dey family and move all de way across de country for ah meager 10% pay-raise. And when Becks do it... (for... how much millions again???) men question dat.
Men does forget, after all, football, while is ah game and hobby to us, is business for dem pros. Dat is de man wuk. De man accept ah job way paying him better then he woulda get anyway else. I bet yuh, is nuff other men jealous of Becks contract right now. Yuh know, when I see de reception Becks get before, during and after de game, I was asking myself, I wonder what Terry, Drogba, Lampard, Scheva, and all dem Chelsea big stars thinking? Even if only for de moment.

I think a healthy Becks, Donovan and Pavon(along with the supporting cast) can mash up the MLS.
-
Well Galaxy will be in DC Aug 9 to play DC UNITED so I will try to head out there and watch the Becks live
-
I didn't read through every single post but anybody think that the fact tha Chelsea didn't absolutely blow out LA (true outplay and 1st game blah, blah blah...) and Everton 2-0 to RSL tell us that the MLS not that bad after all? Probably a lil notch above English Championship?

I did not watch the RSL game, ,but the game with L.A, Chelsea was strolling in around and not doing much, while L.A was out of breath a lot. The majority of Chelsea ball possession was in the attacking 1/3 just playing the ball around.
There was no comparison between the 2 team. The game against the Korean team Chelsea playued much faster and more attacking. That last game they looked like they just wanted it to be over with. Men pulling out of tackles and not contesting 50/50 balls, in an effort (I believe) to not get injured.

Is like comparing barbadine and grugru bef.....It was not even close.... De Galaxy coulda easily collect 6, just imagine Chelsea was doing dey best Barcelona impersonations and one touching de ball up de middle of de park.

Dude Galaxy held their ground but it was only because Chelsea was in second gear. I doubt the result would be the same if you were to catch them mid season, Donovan was tie up like a market crab and Essien was a general in the back, they were playing passing games with Glalaxy for most of the evening
-
I caught most of this game and thankfully I didn't have to subject myself to Wynalda and company. Whatever the state of the American game, the state of the commentary is piss poor. A better model simply has to be found if only involving better analysis.
Who knows? Maybe they did a survey and found that this meets public satisfaction? I doubt it seriously. Anyhow, at the end of the day, the model is targeted to Middle America and not me ... not much different from the evolution of CNN.
Anyone heard Murinho comments on FSC post game interview? The man said that Becks not playing with high class players, so he will have to adjust, and that his team mates will learn a lot.
I didn't catch Mourinho's post-game comments, but Diego Balado (Telefutura) suggested that Mourinho showed a lack of respect for the Galaxy (based on the substitutions). One probably didn't have to look that far beyond his facial expressions to conclude as much. Anyway, Jose certainly seemed contemptuous of the officiating as well.
***
Abel Xavier ... journeyman player ... another player that can teach the so-called youths ... Wonder how much he's earning with the Galaxy?
Landon D? ... somehow reminds me of Tony Meola ... the strange case of a man honoured in his own land but not abroad.
