    Their marketing team won 2 trophies?

    But really, that's embarrassing. Out of all of the peoples names that had to misspell, they picked the absolute worst person's name to misspell. I bet whoever made the mistake gets fired and then subsequently offered a job with the Galaxy marketing team.

    Didn't know where to put this, but I saw a link to an amateur team in Santa Monica (although I'm not sure it exists anymore)

    Check out their badge!

    Good artists borrow. Great artists steal … and then there’s this.

    Hey, we've really made it when local amateur teams are badly photoshopping the Galaxy crest and not a Barca or Man U one.

    I am quite appreciative for the invitation to attend the Galaxy practice today. That is a good STM benefit. Doesn't pull in new fans, but definitely rewards current ones. More than one days notice would be cool next time, however.

    Did you go?

    How much did it resemble Gorman directing the Colonial Marines in Aliens?

    From the RSL game:

    Onalfo: "Try to catch Joao Plata in an offside trap"
    JVD: "What's that... try to do what..."
    Onalfo: "T-try to catch...J-joao Pedro...erm Plata..."
    N. Smith: "Aaaarghh!! They're coming out of the walls!!!!"
    Alessandrini: "Dammit Onalfo!!! Get them out of there!!"
    Diop: "It's time to rock and ro.... oh crap, it went past me again..."

    Unfortunately, I couldn't make it.

    As far as Curt's practice, I'm sure, to quote Bruce, they "do the same shit as everyone else."

    As @Berks alluded to earlier: this is how far the Galaxy have fallen, Mendiola & Mcierney are the cavalry.

    So following on from the discussion on this thread in early June, did Man United fire you and do you now work for the Galaxy?

    Gargs, don't know if you still read "your" thread, but if you do, you are one lucky SOB to have gotten out in time.

    This is more about the value of these friendlies and how they "market" the team and league than the game itself, so I'm linking my piece on the Man United game here instead of the match thread:

    (Also, there's more chance of you seeing it here than in the dying embers of that thread :p )

    With LAFC on the horizon, we need to ditch Onalfo and show some chops as a big club.

    We're currently looking like our aspirations have been scaled back, while an ambitious alternative enters the market.

    While I do agree, all I see so far from the Other LA Team (eight months before debut) is:

    92 owners
    Some nice swag
    One director/scout/GM
    A couple guys on USL contracts
    A hole in the ground

    Hmmm. Maybe they aren't so far behind LAG, after all...

    I'd still take their bench over ours.

    Funny, but after my lamenting MLS ditching MLB/BAM for its digital services provider, Disney has just bought a majority stake in BAM and will be MLS’ streaming provider moving forward … though I think that was largely known. Just funny how some things come full circle.

    I miss the days when the strongest reaction to this kind of announcement was criticism of the chosen font.
