Went by the Galaxy game last Friday.
They played the Houston Dynamo it what happened to be the MLS Western Conference Finals.
A little hooliganism before the game
My boy Phillip got us tickets directly behind the Galaxy bench.
I need to get a new zoom lens
In the middle of the first half most of the lights in Home Depot Center shut off sort of abruptly. Twenty minutes later the PA announcer apologized, someone flipped the switch back on and everyone went back to playing soccer. (Yay!)
Until the second half when it happened again.
This is Beckham during the second blackout thinking to himself and wondering how he ended up playing in this Mickey Mouse soccer league in the first place. (Oh that's right - the $500 gazillion dollar contract)
Of course it's soccer so after 90 minutes of regulation, and 40 minutes of unexplained blackouts, no one had scored any goals.
When are they going to make the size of the goals bigger? When? Seriously. Just widen the goal by 2 feet on each side and see how it turns out. What's the worst that could happen - too many goals scored?
The way it is now, two of the best teams in the league cannot score a single goal within regulation. If too many goals was the biggest problem in soccer I think it'd be ok. They could always revert back to the super-boring-current version of soccer later. I wish they'd try to do something to make it watchable, even for just a week.
And people wonder why soccer isn't popular in America.
Anyway, after regulation they played two 15-minute overtime periods. No one scored in either of those so everyone decided to pack in it, go home and dismantle the MLS altogether.
Just kidding - the Galaxy won 2 - 0 in extra time. Good luck to them as they'll play for the MLS Championship next week (in what will probably end up being another thrilling 0 - 0 tie. Don't forget to set your Tivo's.)
