RFK Stadium friendly: Bolivia-Guatemala, Wednesday, 8 p.m. (Carlos Ruiz was on the Guatemala roster unveiled Monday, but the Galaxy has decided not to release him.) Link:http://blog.washingtonpost.com/soccerinsider/ It seems that nobody is going to get any breaks from this whole dilema _________________________________________________________________ Scenario: Edson Buddle: "I need to score this Thursday", "I need to score this Thursday!" Landon Donovan: "I dont want to go to Europe!, I dont want to go to Europe!! Uncle Phil is mad at me and I need to score this Thursday, cause I dont want to go to Europe!!" Carlos Ruiz: Well, I guess I dont have to worry about scoring this Thursday since I will be at RFK playing against Bolivia. I will just take this call-up slip to Alexi and I'll be set to go. (singing and whistling while walking to Lalas office) Lalas: (In restroom barfing and drinking Mylanta mixed with Olive oil, Alka-Seltzer and a bit of lime juice) As he starts lighting up a candle with the Virgen de Guadalupe image, so he doesnt get fired, he hears a door bell. Lalas: Tim?, Phil?, I cant talk to any of you as I am talking to Manchester United, according to MLS rumors, Cristiano Ronaldo wants to come to MLS, preferably the Galaxy, so let me do my job. In addition, right this minute, I am proposing a deal that would send Peter Vagenas, Steve Cronin and Greg Vanney to the Red Devils for Wayne Rooney and some money. Sorry Phil or Tim that I cannot let you in or open the door. Carlos Ruiz: Hey Pendejo! its me Carlos Ruiz, open thee door cerote! Lalas: OMG! Carlos, I am so glad its you, but hurry! come in!, as I dont want to be bitten by a mosquito and catch the west nile virus. You know Carlos, we are close to many dirty ponds and the insects could reach my office. Carlos Ruiz: Well, Lalas, I am here just to tell you that I wont play this Thursday because I will be off to RFK, and here is my trip slip to prove it, my mommy said I could go, but I need you to sign it inorder to make it official. Lalas: you cannot go! Carlos Ruiz: Como que no! Pinche Guero, come M!ierda cerote, How come? its me country, me country! I am not US, I am Guatemala, they play I go! ME CONTRY!! ME CONTRY!! Lalas: Reception, please call ICE as we might lose another player. Carlos Ruiz: Ok, I stay. Lalas: If I go down, You go down with me!! I brought you in and I will take you out. Now get out of my office, as mosquitos with westnile viruses can attack me any minute. Get out!! Door bell rings again Lalas: Tim?, Phil?
LoL. The Guate press was pretty pissed about this but they'll get over it. Guatemala won 3-0 today by the way.
