    Newtex, kat_antilles and myself were at the Mezz in the blueroom watchin the game. It would have been better had some guy not come into the room totally drunk and puked on one of the couches and the floor. :(

    As far as the game goes, I'm surprised LA hung as long as they did, though Pachuca clearly had trouble finishing. When Landon came up to do his PK, all three of us thought that he'd hit that PK, but Landon choked :D

    Congrats Pachuca

    I agree with everything said here. I think I froze for a minute when Klein hit that goal though thinking "did he actually score?"

    I still wish Donovan hit that PK though. And that's probably the last time you'll ever hear me say that about the Galaxy

    If Beckham is indeed out for 4-6 weeks (and honestly, I think that's the best case scenario) he should be benched for the rest of the season. The Galaxy have nothing to play for so there is no reason for him to come back for the last 2 or 3 games just to see if LA can beat RSL for 12th.

    You must tell me which couch so I know which one to avoid.

    It's the black one.

    You should probably just avoid sitting in there all together.





















    More room for me. Puke? Ha!

    just a quick note. my dad could of gave a rat's ass about MLS awhile back, but now that we have a team he's a HUGE Dynamo fan and is becoming more knowledgeable about MLS style of play and teams. he was even smart enough to turn down the tickets to last weeks game cuz as he explain it: #1"everyone's hurt, is that why you are offering me the tickets?" and #2 "why do i want to go see Colombus?"

    anyways, he called me this morning after staying up to 1am last night to watch the game and offered these gems. translated and paraphrased:

    on the Landon PK miss - "it couldn't of happened to a better person. if he would of made it we would have to seen his stupid grin all over Univision for a whole week".

    on Joe Cannon - "forget Beckham, that's your team MVP for the entire year. he deserves a trophy for having to play behind that defense".

    If the room is set up normal again, it'd be the couch on the front right with the puke towards the left hand side.

    So what's in bold....yeah....it was all chunky and liquidy and what not....:p

    It was great when Pachuca made their 4th PK, we started shoutin and people outside the blueroom were lookin at us like we're crazy.

    And I gotta agree with *rey*'s dad...I'm so glad that he missed that PK...just says a lot right there. His chance to steal back some of the spotlight and he f's that up. Go fig.

    Btw, trivia here, when was the last time Donovan missed a PK in league play? Nat play?

    So the thing that bothered me about the PKs was how both keepers came so far off the line before the ball was kicked. It actually looked like Cannon was playing it pretty honestly for the first couple of kicks, but Calero was coming so far off his line and getting away with it that Cannon started doing it. It looked like the ref might have said something to Cannon after one of them, but both Calero and Cannon continued to do it and never got called for it.

    I know that this rule is not usually enforced, but Calero was really taking it to an extreme and he got a tremendous advantage on it when he would step up two steps and then had a much short distance to the side to cover. That's how he made the saves he made so easily. Calero did the same thing against Houston, but it didn't really help him as he wasn't guessing right on the kicks.

    Cannon would come off his line so early that the person taking the PK knew which way he was going to dive before they kicked it.
