the announcer was pretty awful though but it is nice having options to watch games you wouldn't be able to watch otherwise, or delayed.

the Robbie Keane presser was pretty good, can't wait till tomorrow.

slightly off topic when Lieweekly, was thanking Uncle Phil he mentioned that him and the missus were at odds over another team in the area. I wonder what that was about and if it had to do with the Kings or an NFL team, anybody have a clue.

I really hate TV rights. Sitting down to watch the Fire playing Toronto. Not on MLS Direct Kick tonight, but is playing on CSNC (Comcast Chicago), which is fine, since I picked up the Sports Pack as well, for FSC mainly. But it is blacked out. What the hell? It's not on the ESPNs, it isn't on FSC or +...WHY THE HELL IS IT BEING BLACKED OUT?! Something to do with pro games not being able to be broadcast outside their market? Why offer me non-local sports stations if I can't watch the freaking games on those stations?

Sorry, frustrating.

I notice this with Center Ice too. I just don't know why every televised game is not automatically linked into Direct Kick/Center Ice. Grrrrrrr......

Is it? Gah, thought I checked EVERYTHING. Thanks Dawdler. All so needlessly complicated.

Worth the wait, wasn't it?

There were times in the first have that the Galaxy looked incredibly good. But ya gotta give the Smurfs credit, they didn't quit, and they pressed the Galaxy hard. But Mike Magee OWNS SJ, so it was no surprise that his goal clinched the game. LOL

BTW, the Angel City Brigade put together the funniest supporters group bit ever last night. Welcome to Facebook - Log In, Sign Up or Learn More

lots of irish flags around the hdc...

I had to watch this game on tv. What I liked about Keane is...not only was he working hard, but when someone didn't make the correct run or get him the ball quick enough and in space, he was talking and yelling about it. Even after the sub out he was talking to everyone from the bench.

Those fox sports announcers are hilarious. You'd think the galaxy are now better than manchester united and barcelona combined.

Galaxy clinched the playoffs last night.

For about 20 minutes, some pretty darn good soccer.

Cardozo - I don't remember him being that good on his feet. He's got a really soft touch and was controlling balls in the air in seamless fashion. Liked it.

Charlie Davies gets the hat trick against the Goats tonight. Maybe now he'll get a look from Klinsmann... Lord knows we need a striker who can score
