Galaxy stink up another one

The Galaxy lost today to Toronto FC today at the Home Depot Center by a score of 3-2. Losing at home is one thing. Losing at home to a second-year team that won only 6 of 30 games last year is pathetic.

Last year the Galaxy won only 9 games and their star signing, David Beckham, appeared in only a few games before being injured for the rest of the season.

So after a disastrous season like last year, you'd think they make some major changes in the team. Welp, they didn't, and it's showing.

Ok, they made some changes. They picked up Carlos Ruiz, who's 4 years past his prime. And they got a new coach, Ruud Gullit, one of the best players of the late 80's-early 90's.

But their biggest change was getting rid of Chris Albright, one of the best American defenders in the game. I don't know how they thought he was expendable. He had been with the Galaxy for 6 years and he was one of the most talented defenders in the MLS.

Well they got rid of them, and it's obvious they are missing him. The problem for the Galaxy lies in their defense, or lack thereof. The Galaxy's "star" player is Abel Xavier, who at age 35, should be playing on a 30-and-over men's league team in Oxnard, Ca. Xavier, who was kicked out of soccer for a year in England for testing positive for ANABOLIC STEROIDS, needs to be released, and quick. Unfortunately I couldn't find any video of Xavier getting beat for a goal, but trust me, it happens all the time.

The Galaxy have a goalscorer in Landon Donovan. They have a playmaker in David Beckham (even tho he plays on the right side, I'm going to label him as a playmaker for the Galaxy's sake). They need a defense and a holding midfielder, and they will be fine.

So until that happens, I am going to remain a Chivas USA fan. They are a much better team, with a proven coach (Preki), goalscorer (Razov), playmaking midfielder (Kljestan), defensive midfielder (Marsch), defender (Bornstein), and goalie (Guzan). They are stacked, and they are the best team in L.A.

But if you add in Posh Spice...well then I guess I prefer the Galaxy.
