MLS Match Night: Your Running Commentary

the atmosphere in Portland is fantastic! what a place to play a soccer game!
Galaxy DPs drop five goals on Timbers in 5-3 shootout at Jeld-Wen Field
Saturday night's match didn't start out the way the LA Galaxy would have wanted, but the rest of the night could not have gone much better. The Galaxy shook off an early Kris Boyd goal by rattling off four unanswered goals in just nine minutes on their way to a 5-3 victory over the Portland ...
disagree on the defense.
in fact last year's Galaxy team, arguably the best MLS team ever, won WITH defense! Everything you cliam is missing from the league defensively was actually on full display all last year to win the MLS Cup!
what's amazing is how Arena has adjusted to this year's team, its strengths and weaknesses, as opposed to last year's, and the Galaxy are playing some incredibly entertaining games right now with goals galore, win or lose

nice ball by LD to find him in all that acreage and unlock the space for whatever first touch and then the classic Beckham upper 90
Must-See Goal: David Beckham
with no Omar, why play a formation that requires Boyens or Meyer to take the field? neither deserve the pitch at this point, sorry
Juninho has not played well, so challenge him this game w/Becks out, and start Sarvas and Stephens in there with him too.
must get the best players on the field without fail whatever that formation is
Beckham out for Galaxy's match against Sporting KC
BY ADAM SERRANO If the Los Angeles Galaxy are to end Sporting Kansas City's unbeaten run on Saturday, they'll have to do so without midfielder David Beckham. The Galaxy confirmed on Friday that Beckham did not make the trip to Kansas City due to back spasms. During training on Thursday, head ...
what??? disagree
JoeW has the answer
What should Vancouver do with Salgado?
Omar Salgado is stuck. There's no other way to describe the situation in which the first overall pick in the 2011 MLS SuperDraft currently finds himself. After the Vancouver Whitecaps acquired all sorts of attacking talent during the offseason to add to an already full stable -- bringing in...
then loan him out somewhere that fits his progression...simple answer

maybe play him more directly into the 6 even? AZ is troubled with linking the middle to final 3rd, so bypass it once or twice?

not bad from Tim today, nothing great either. Good on Coyle for mixing things up imo; he came up with a twist today and it wasn't too bad, but his team is pretty bad however.
Tim Ream is better going forward than defending, no way around that to me. And that's pretty scary from a defensive player imo. Wonder if Coyle has made that determination too?

OK, thanks. He's looked OK there so far, but his positioning seems suspect at times already, would you agree?

interesting move from Coyle. I wonder why
Don't know the Bolton team well enough, but are they so stacked at CB? I thought that's why Bolton brought him over, to help fill a hole at that position. Or is there something that has happened at DMid for that team recently? Or has Coyle simply made a decision with regards to Tim and his best place on the filed for him?

Magee had the season of his career last year out there on the left, developed chemistry with David and got on the end of numerous Beckham benders for goals
Mike and Marcelo will compliment each other nicely, along with Juninho and David and Landon and Michael....... :)

wrong. Michael barely put a foot wrong. I just rewatched the match. You should too.
Who was your Man of the Match vs. Italy?
photo by Bernd Feil/ISIphotos.com The U.S. men's national team earned a historic result on Wednesday, defeating Italy for the first time in 11 tries. The 1-0 result in Genoa was a hard-earned one for U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann and his team, but one in which a handful of American players ...
True. And @ the WC did so by overcoming 2 honest goals disallowed; Mexico had one dishonest goal allowed against them vs. Argentina and promprly cracked in half
some just have to revise history so it fits into their ideas
