Coyote Ugly


Have you ever woken up on a beautiful Sunday morning with a sinking feeling in your gut? Then you look around and realize the ugliest girl in the bar from last night is sleeping next to you. And you are left to wonder what happened to her hot girlfriend that had that little wiggle in her walk, that you were hitting on and it was going so good. Well that must be how David Beckham and the rest of the Galaxy players are feeling today.

After the game, Ruud Gullit tried to spin it in the glass is half full direction. "If I look back at the beginning of the season that normally we lost these games in the last minute," The coach says with a smirk on his face. "In a way we gave the goals away" Very astute coach. I can't help but wonder if that is what he told his team in the locker room. Personally I can think of a few more colorful words I would use to describe the meltdown.

Come to find out more bad news, which usually happens in these morning after situations, that Beckham took a little knock on the foot in training this week and was not at 100%. That comes as a relief because after last night I thought he was just washed up. Turns out to just be a bum wheel. As for that dreadful miss at the end of the match, Becks says "I'm disappointed not to finish the game off there. I felt personally the ground gave way" Really David "disappointed" is how you feel when you have a clear shot at goal and completely shank it into the Stadium Club restaurant. Well I guess I too am "disappointed".

Donovan and Buddle played well but each left at least one on the table. The midfield that controlled the tempo in the first half was badly out played in the second, with Alvaro Pires disappearing for long stretches of play.

The Galaxy have yet to conquer the elusive hot chick with the winning record and instead end up with the coyote ugly results. And we the fans are left to chew our arms off.
