The Los Angeles Galaxy are back to a familiar position, on the losing side of the score sheet. I haven’t been able to watch the Galaxy vs FC Seoul yet but I have it on the DVR. Alan Gordon is a guy that I have criticized a lot but he got the go ahead goal for the Galaxy on a David Beckham free kick that came to him behind the defense. Ten minutes after the Galaxy took the lead Celestine Babayaro committed a foul in the area giving FC Seoul a penalty kick which was converted successfully. The game stayed this way through the 90 minutes which then led to a shoot out.
Based only on what I read the FC Seoul keeper must be the man of the match. David Beckham converted the first PK but after that Carlos Ruiz, Peter Vagenas, Chris Klein and Greg Vanney all had their shots saved according to what I read. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen one keeper make 4 saves in a shootout and I’m kinda worried that I won’t be able to. I read that FSC didn’t show the shootout, didn’t even mention it. Most of the TV audience thought the game ended a draw. I hope to watch the game tonight.

Yet again we see LA Galaxy lose. I am actually starting to feel very very sorry for David Beckham. He should have stuck with Real Madrid
Galaxy losing – its a tradition they started before old Golden Balls came to LA.
By the way – why do you feel very very sorry for David Beckham? If winning is all that was important to him, do you think he really would have joined the Galaxy? He’d be in Houston, New England or DC.
He probably has everything anyone could dream of – besides regularly getting into the win column – but the season hasn’t really started yet.
