MLS Roundup: I have no idea what I'm talking about —
Unprofessional Foul
I was all ready to write a witty post about how terrible the Galaxy are going to be this year, in the wake of their 4-nil beating at the hands of Colorado Rapids. But then Goldenballs and Landycakes spoiled my fun by scoring two nifty goals last night against the back-from-the-dead San Jose Earthquakes and ex-manager/scapegoat Frank Yallop. Meanwhile, any praise that the Revolution ...

WVHooligan - Soccer Blog
Let’s just say that the double hitter on ESPN2 works for me. I loved having two games last night, even if I missed part of it all while I was driving home from work. To some last night there were two surprising results. A Chicago blowout and a Galaxy club that actually showed up to play.
Chicago 4 - 0 New England: I will start with the Chicago game first. As you all saw, I kept a ...
David Beckham fires LA Galaxy to first win of season —
Soccerlens.com
David Beckham scored his the first goal and set Landon Donovan (who set Becks up for the first one) up for another as LA Galaxy win 2-0 against the San Jose Earthquakes . I don’t care what the match was like. I don’t particularly care about the LA Galaxy either.
All I care is that Beckham scores - and without being presumptious, that’s a view many other non-American ...

Primetime MLS Preview —
WVHooligan - Soccer Blog
The first primetime night on ESPN2 for the MLS in this new season. I love the idea of a double-hitter on the Deuce. Looks like ESPN is taking a better interest in the game this season, for one they answered most of our prayers about getting a new broadcast group. I’m sure the main duo (JP Dellacamera and John Harkes) will do the first contest of the night on the east coast and the ...

A very interesting opening weekend for the MLS. A number of clubs won big, four others tied their games, and for some reason New York and San Jose sat at home.
Here’s a bit of what we do know:
KC looks solid and their new digs work for me…
New England looks very strong (but please don’t call it a revenge game anymore…I need to stop that as well)

Remember all the talk about whether David Beckham and Landon Donovan could play together? Landycakes was going to be jealous of Becks’ celebrity and there was going to be an almighty battle for both set pieces and the captain’s armband.
But last night against San Jose Earthquakes it all went very smoothly. First Donovan put Beckham [...]
Goldenballs Nets First MLS Goal —
Intentional Foul
The David Beckham investment looks like it finally paid for the Los Angles Galaxy last night as Becks netted his first goal as an MLS player. I suppose another golden iPod is in order . The goal came courtesy of a nifty Landon Donovan pass that found a wide-open Beckham with only the San Jose goalie to beat.
And he did.
Considering the off-the-charts hype surrounding ...
