    Fantastic questions/comments in tonight's Fox Football Fone-In sitting in for Steven Cohen. Incase you are not watching, Alexi Lalas is the guest.

    Yeah, he really started off slowly and then turned up the heat.

    What did Keith say? What was the LA clown's reply?

    One question I remember was the lingering issue of David Beckham being invited by Steven and Nick on FFF---this has been asked before and Alexi's response was he tries as best as he can to make sure David appears on appropriate shows like 60 Minutes for example. Something to that effect. Ofcourse, his whole deal is to eventually attract new fans, raise the awareness of the sport etc. which I think is fair.

    However, I also agree with Keith when he said to him, if David is here in America to raise the awareness of the sport, it wouldn't hurt to show up in shows like FFF. He has nothing against him appearing in shows like 60 Minutes, it's when he shows up at Snoop Dog's show that he has to question why he couldn't visit a little show like FFS. Ofcourse, not the exact same words but you get the idea.

    remember, costigan said on his blog that we shouldnt have gotten a team without a stadium, so as much as i admire him for ripping galexi, he's not a friend to us either, guys.

    here's his blog where he trashes us: Keith costigan's blog

    I found it ironic that the sign above Lalas said "Chivas USA".

    "Hey Lalas, the nile is a river in Egypt!"

    As a Galaxy fan who hates Lalas, I was very impressed with the hard hitting questions.

    As for questioning your return. It sounds like he has the interest of the league in mind in only awarding teams that are financially viable. Doesn't sound like he knew about the deep pockets of the ownership group in San Jose or how far along the stadium deal was at the time.

    Agreed-Costigan held Alexi Lalas accountable yesterday. Gist of it was

    -How can you call the Galaxy a superclub when the Galaxy haven't made the playoffs the last two years? BS answer.

    -Doesn't calling the Galaxy a superclub set up false expectations from fans?

    -How can you call the Galaxy a superclub when they can't beat Chivas USA in their own stadium?

    -There's rumors that Lalas and Ruud Gullit do not get along. Any truth?

    Fun stuff.

    I expect Lalas will be working on his resume soon.

    I think there's a misinterpretation going on here. The Galaxy aren't a SUPERCLUB... they are a SUPPER CLUB. Just look at that big restaurant at the south end of the HDC. I'm certain that's what Lexi is meaning to say. But I'll go easy on Lalas because, ever since he's turned into a suit, his brain has been taken over by corporate worms inside his head. It's tragic:(.

    As a Quakes fan, it's very difficult for me to consider the end of his Galactic reign. He's been a woonderfuuuul GM for us Quakes fans!

    It'd be a shame to see a competent GM in LA again.

    Long may Alexi Lalas reign!

    I have to agree, any talk of Galexi's demise as GM of Scum is a major concern for Quakes fans. Long live Galexi! Not to mention the pure comedic entertainment value this bozo brings to MLS.

    No. LA and AEG want to keep him around so he can continue to do the excellent job of management that he has always done for them. May they continue with gAlexi for another twenty years.

    He was in New York, too, but Lalas' destiny was in Los Angeles, the land of plastic surgery and unreasonable expectations...
