Galaxy Outplay City, Lose on PK’s; Sir Alex Says Soccer in US is Growing

Jonas Brock — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 19:00:55 +0000

After a 1-1 tie and an exciting round of penalties, the Galaxy lost to Manchester City, bringing them to a record of 0-2 in the World Football Challenge. In no way shape or form was this a bad result for the Galaxy who put out a half-hearted line up in front of what most seemingly will be Manchester City’s starting 11. Throughout the first half City controlled the majority of the possession as David Beckham played much of the half along with his back four giving him the chance to spread balls from the back. This gave Spaniard David Silva all the room he could have wished for in the midfield, where City controlled much of the game. It took 20 minutes for City to put away a goal, as Italian forward Mario Balotelli slotted away a penalty after Englishman Micah Richards was fouled in the box.

It was only ten minutes later that the troubled Italian created some controversy, as he could have easily put away a second goal, instead showboating and not scoring. That was all manager Roberto Mancini had to see in order for him to take him out for English midfielder and former Aston Villa player James Milner. Balotelli seemed outraged claiming he thought he was offside; it is hard to believe seeing the track record this young, controversial striker has.

City controlled much of the half, but failed to really make any clear attempts on goal. It was the second part of the game that really impressed me, as well as many Galaxy and City fans alike. The Galaxy came out playing pretty much their second team, but for one reason or another, City could not get anything going against them. There was no fluidity to City’s game, as the Galaxy put a higher pressure on City’s defense and midfield. It was fun to watch a bunch of young guys go up against the richest team in the world and keep up. And just eight minutes into the half, Mike Magee scored what could be the tournament’s best goal as he volleyed a shot from outside about 20 yards that dipped over England No. 1, Joe Hart. A goal much deserved from a Galaxy team putting in 110 percent effort.

Galaxy Set to Partake in the World Football Challenge

Jonas Brock — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 07:15:34 +0000

With the MLS season in full swing, the Los Angeles Galaxy are sitting atop of the Western Conference with a respectable 39 points through 21 games, 4 points ahead of second place, the Seattle Sounders whom they face on Wednesday in the U.S. Open Cup. To give an example on how grueling a soccer season can be on players, the Galaxy will be playing four games in the next 11 days. To make matters a bit tougher on the Galaxians, two of those games will come against top European sides, Manchester City and Real Madrid. Both of those games coming in the World Football Challenge, a tournament held in America and Canada which will bring together MLS sides such as the Galaxy, the Chicago Fire and the Vancouver Whitecaps with some of the best European teams namely, Manchester City and United, Real Madrid, Juventus, and Barcelona. Club America and Chivas De Guadalajara will also be included from the Mexican Primera.

Many of the Galaxy players will have been used to playing huge clubs like these seeing that they played Real Madrid last year and Barcelona two years ago, both of those games coming in front of sold out crowds at the Rose Bowl. This year the Madrid game will be played at the Coliseum while the City game will be played at the Home Depot Center. Many say that although these teams may bring their huge name, they may not bring their star players. This is completely wrong. When Madrid was here last year, they showcased all their huge players, even though most of them played for only a half, fans got to see Ronaldo, Ramos, Marcelo, Benzema, Casillas, etc.
