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...

This is ridiculous.

It have a cartoon/stick man story of he life narrated by him. (I swear he talk bout crying 50 times in the pre-show)

Say what the hype making meh laugh.

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.

isnt the forest the game of football??? i see hwo american media hype has done more damagae than good. at the end of de day beckham might suffer

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.

Bitter · « **Reply #41 on:** July 21, 2007, 07:42:00 PM »

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.

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.

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.

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.
