And mine got cut off too: the rest:
And yes, the LD situation is annoying. He is my favorite US player for his skill, eloquence, and his admittance of the fact that he was originally a jerk when he first came on the scene - he's mature and humble now. I just want him to succeed since he's our one star and he seems like a decent dude. Helps that he's adorable too.
I read LA Galaxy boards too (LD got me to watch MLS, and that's even more shocking since I'm a Northern Californian, I feel like I'm committing treason by supporting LA, especially as a Giants baseball fan), and it's amusing to me how much crap he gets. Uh, he's basically your entire passing system minus the occasional goal from Buddle. Expectations are so high on 1 player. I support MLS too - it's been a pleasant surprise, but you are 100% right.
Well, there's my rant too! If we can watch a game together that would indeed be fun! We should keep one another posted.
Nice to "meet" you!
