    A good but short article on the San Jose/ galaxative game with quotes about the rip-off finish.

    While I expect to be in the minority, I think we should stop whining about the "no call".

    We should be ashamed about the fact that we couldn't score a single goal with Lalas and Hendrickson both out of the game.

    That's two games in a row against LA that we have been shut out. We started our best forwards and they didn't get the job done. When you can't score a single goal, you deserve to lose (IMHO).

    Jeff,

    I agree and disagree. It is now time to move on. As fans we have a right to disagree with a call and thats our perogative. Thats sport, thats why its an addictive drug to me, no matter how hard it kicks you, you bounce back for more!!

    As far as not scoring. I agree that we didn't get the job done. However, where I disagree with is the fact that its hard enough to score away from home, but, when the home comes out as negatively as they did ( I still can't believe Galaxy fans are saying WE played for a draw), and we were trying not lose also it makes it difficult. If LA had opened up, I think we would have had a lot more chances. The game reminded me more of an English relegation clash rather than of a championship decider!!

    If you thought it was bad on Saturday wait until next week when LA just need a draw, sit back and pray because itss going to be a long night, but, I do believe that we are good enough to break them down..and then all hek will break loose!!

    The Galaxy and their fans can have the win. The only thing we can all hope for is the Ref's Assistant gets a demerit for his missed call. He blew the call, but the result stands.

    Just focus on the league game this weekend and get the win. It's easy and it can be done. Lalas and Hendrickson played in the July 7 game when the Quakes won, and despite them being tough to play against, the lads can still get the win with them in the lineup. Just 1 goal more than the Galaxy and the lead after 90 minutes, and the Quakes can get the last laugh on LA.

    Cheers!
