It's "Fight Night" at the Home Depot Center

Chivas USA defeats the Los Angeles Galaxy 3-0

Sorry for the late post everyone, but I guess I'm still not over the pain of last week's loss to Chivas USA (0-3). In fact, the whole night was full of pain.

It's becoming habit that the Home Depot Center is putting cars where ever possible. I had a preferred parking pass and after taking 40 minutes to get off the freeway off ramp to the stadium entrance, they closed the yellow gates (where preferred parking enters) saying it was full and made the line of cars, led by me, go park in BFE for the same price!

After sitting down at the 38th minute of the first half at a 0-0 tie I had high hopes. Then, a little fight broke out (photo above) with Beckham. It was nice to see David get a little scrappy. Shows that he can hang here in LA and wear that blue Crypt captain's band proudly.

Then, the second half began. I don't get the substitutions coach Yallop is made. Moving Xavier up to leave unskilled defenders in the back (Veris among others) cost us the game. It was THE WORST defensive playing I've seen by the LAG. It sucked.

If this wasn't enough, we (the fans) sat on the sidelines and watched Beckham in serious pain play all 90 minutes. It came down to the fact that David would kick the ball away from himself just to be taken out of play so he could rest.

Lalas and AEG need to rethink the money machine they call David Beckham and start considering Beckham the player and the team.
