MLS All-Stars Beat Chelsea

The MLS All-Stars played very well, passing crisply and working on defense and offense. Del Rosario put on a variable clinic and was all over the place up front.

Our own Chris Albright almost scored and did a fantastic job on the pitch.

This was a honorable win for the US players and shows the world that we're going to continue to build championship teams year after year. I predict that the US Soccer National Team will retain its top 5 FIFA ranking and will go to the semi-finals in 2010 in South Africa.

As for Chelsea, watch out for ManUtd this season!

Galaxy 2, Roma FC 0

Even better than I predicted yesterday, the Galaxy played pretty well last night. They actually should have had two more goals, but who's counting. The Riot Squad was out in full force, dogging the three Dallas fans. Oops, sorry, four Dallas fans. One was with me - just educating him on how loosing feels.

Cobi played pretty good at left-back and Kirk's goal was fabulous. Herc was not aggressive and seems to continue to be off his game (all year). I see Kirk and Donovan up front here pretty soon.

It just so happened that a two good friends of mine came to the game last night. One happens to be from Texas and needless to say, he didn't like the outcome or the pain from getting brandined LA on his backside!

Go Galaxy!

Galaxy vs. Roma FC

Well the starting line up has been set and the game is hours away as the LA Galaxy take on USASA amateurs Roma FC of Dallas, TX in the 2006 Lamar Hunt Open Cup.

Donovan, and Strugis not scheduled to play and Cobi is supposed to play left-back, yes left-back, tonight. Though we expect the Galaxy to win, anything can happen as we've seen LAG play down to other team's level. What's the score going to be? I predict 1-0 LAG.

In case you need a little review of the open cup, here it is:

The Open Cup, the U.S. Soccer Federation's national championship, is an annual competition open to all amateur and professional soccer teams affiliated with the USSF. The U.S. Open Cup dates back to 1914 when the Brooklyn Field Club won the first national title by defeating the Brooklyn Celtics in Pawtucket, R.I. It was first named the National Challenge Cup and run by the United States Football Association, and was on England's Football Association Cup." In 1999, the U.S. competition was named to honor soccer pioneer Lamar Hunt. Last year, the LA Galaxy won the US Open Cup and the MLS Championship.
