Let me reiterate… I am a USMNT and Galaxy supporter. As such I have very easily identified enemies in life, the Mexican National Team and Chivas USA, both of which can be further identified by the smell of chicken feed and the wearing of ponchos.
So with those factors in mind I have this to say to all my fellow supporters, “This one is on me.”
It’s my fault for not seeing it earlier. Mexico is my sworn enemy in terms of soccer. I should have been more vigilant… I let my love of your fine food and sexy talk show hosts cloud my vision of your far more dastardly plot. You, Mexico, are a wily foe.
Looking back it all started 2004 when we foolishly opened our doors to your club team CD Chivas and allowed them to 
spawn within our borders. We laughed with sardonic joy as your team faltered both on the field and at the gates. You allowed us a false sense of security with your crowds of 15 people in bolos and ranchero hats. We had nothing to fear. Or so we thought.
Mexico has quite simply infiltrated us to the highest levels. They recruited a folically challenged American coach into their ranks, brain washed him and sent him on up the ladder. They then managed to get two American players onto our national team, one armed with a detestable porn mustache not fit for Ron Jeremy to issue rides upon, the other masked with a Jewish name that put us all at ease.
Yesterday’s game against the Netherlands is just the latest evidence of this. Jonathon Bornstein single handedly lost this game for the US. The guy got continually torched on his side of the defense, gives up a stupid penalty, almost gets called for a second and what does fellow Chiva-ite Bob Bradley do? He moves him to central defence. What kind of south of the border logic is this?
In it’s simplest form Bornstein and Kljestan represent the largest crutches of Bob Bradley’s pool. His loyalties to them are now eclipsing his objectivity. At this point you would expect an assisant coach to step in and give the guy a nudge in the right direction. Oh wait, who are the assistant coaches? Mike Sorber (former Mexican club player) and Jesse Marsch (former Chivas USA player). Is there no escape from this paradigm?
Now, 6 years later their plan is almost complete. Bob Bradley, Sacha Kljestan and Jonathon Bornstein have been infected. They are suffering from a disease called Chivarrhea. And if we don’t act now our entire national team could soon fall prey. Who will stand beside me in this race against time?
Random Thoughts:
- If I were the MLS players I would totally keep playing possum in terms of the strike. Look at what they have as a bargaining chip? Nothing. But I think I may have found a way for them to gain one. Keep playing lads. Keep playing all the way to till half way through the season. Then one week before the All-Star game, which will likely feature a big name team coming here for big time dollars, walk your asses out onto the street. The All Star game is not merely a game, it represents business relations between huge corporations that own these teams. You think Manchster United’s Glazers don’t potentially have non-soccer business ties with LA Galaxy owners AEG? So bide your time boys, hit them where it hurts.
- If you haven’t read my interview with the makers of the Pelada documentary over on our sister site 10Shirt.net, get yourselves over there and do so.
- Over/Under on how many minutes into his first 2010 appearance with the Galaxy that Dema Kovalenko fouls someone. I say 14 minutes. Over or Under?
- Was bummed to see Julian Valentine go to Tampa Bay. Never thought the kid really got a shot with LA.
- #1 team that needed to make a big move this offseason and hasn’t? New England Revolution. This is a team that just lost Steve Ralston, could conceivably be without Taylor Twellman, and is banking far too much on Shalrie Joseph. Where are the goals going to come from this year? I love me some Steve Nicol but the dude needs to pull the trigger on something soon if they want to be relevant this year.
