LA Galaxy Fosters International Goodwill by Losing

By: Laurie | November 27th, 2007

In case you haven’t been paying attention (and if you haven’t…well, what’s wrong with you?), David Beckham’s LA Galaxy have been globetrotting MLS ambassadors lately, spreading MLS cheer and happiness across multiple countries.

How have they done this? Well, so far, by getting a nil-nil draw against USL side Vancouver Whitecaps. Then by barely beating the USL’s Minnesota Thunder on penalties. And now by losing to Australia’s Sydney FC, 3-5. Next up? New Zealand.

I’m quite certain these results have nothing to do with the Galaxy, y’know, sucking. Or anything. It’s all part of a political strategy aimed at improving the US’s image in the world. Nothing like whomping David Beckham to improve international relations, eh? Well done, David.

And even better, Beckham scored off one of his trademark free kicks. Beckham scores, the Galaxy loses. And Australia is loving the US today.

George W? You can send your thank you card care of Galaxy GM Alexi Lalas.

Well, at least I didn't have to send the St. Bernard, chocolate, and brandy too far...from YOUR OTHER BLOG!

As long as we're here, though, doesn't it continue to give you the creeps that Lalas is running around the world giving speeches on how brilliant he was to hire David Beckham, and ignoring the fact that his teams still sucks. Has he no shame, of course he doesn't. But what about all the nitwits lapping up his every word? Yeah, $$$ guys, might not have caught the match.

Hope the boys are having some down under fun.
