and decided to take in an MLS game - Galaxy Vs Houston Dynamo, based on your declaration in the Beckham/Donovan thread that the lower EPL clubs are comparable to the teams in the MLS.
So I parted with my 60 dollars to take in this top of the table clash.
How I ended up laughing heartily to myself: I've watched some crappy games of football in my life, but TOP OF THE MLS Houston versus GALAXY took the biscuit
What a truly tepid game of football - never have I seen a game so totally lacking in quality and skill. I desperately wanted to enjoy this game (after the amount of money I spent), but ended up more interested in the small pocket of Galaxy "ultras" (Known as the LA Riot Squad) who stopped singing after 15 minutes of the game and seemed more interested in the hot dog vendor.
So you think Galaxy play BETTER without Beckham? I don't think a team could have played any worse.
Awful awful stuff. The best thing about the game was the weather, and the amount of free stuff the promoters throw at you. Half time entertainment was pretty good too, those Californian cheerleaders are easy on the eye.
So anyway Puro, you big fucko: thanks to you I spent 60 dollars of my hard earned cash watching a complete DUD of a game. You or your NY-Miami connection OWE me, but I'll call it quits as you've managed to make me laugh many many times with your shite "insightful" declarations.
this one being the funniest:

"WOW! such a rich club being led to the ground by Harry Redknapp. Big mistake firing Juande Ramos. Spurs should've just get rid of the trash Woodgate, Bentley, Modric etc instead of firing one of the best coaches around. In Perú a while back, a very good coach was having a hell of a time with Sporting Cristal. He told the management to rescind the contract of FIVE players immediately or it was himself leaving.
The board let the players go, and Sporting Cristal became champs. "Puro! who was the coach" I hear you...his name Paulo Autuori. He also won Copa Libertadores with Sao Paulo, and also beating Liverpool for the World Club Cup.
Huge mistake firing Juande Ramos. Dirty Harry was, is, and will always be just a fucking fireman, a midtable (at best) coach. When the rah rah stuff is done, Harry's gone too.
Be careful with Spurs. A team in big trouble now. The Carling Cup was their last chance for any sign of progress, something to look forward to for next season, something to build on as in UEFA Cup. However, that's gone now. All of a sudden the future looks very bleak for them Spurs. I wouldn't want to be a Spurs player. It's the pits for them now. "
Yeah, MASSIVE mistake by us firing Ramos - we only ended up gaining the fifth highest number of points in the whole league (behind the top 4) under Harry Redknapp
Modric - what trash.
And yes, we ended up in so much trouble. Our future is really bleak
Puro - what a guy. What legend. What a fuckwit
