Galaxy Done
Quotable:
"At least since I've been here, it seems like in every game within 15 minutes, the other team has two or three or four chances," Eddie Lewis told MLSnet.com. "Whether the other team scores or not is different every game, but the amount of chances that we allow early on in games, is almost suicidal."
"There were segments in the first half where we were just physically manhandled," Galaxy coach Bruce Arena told MLSnet.com. "It wasn't as much about the soccer as it was about running harder, competing better. ... They were more alert, more physical, more aggressive."
BTW, if you were unlucky enough to watch the game, was that not one of the most uncomfortable in-game interviews (with Pete Vagenas) you've ever seen? And the quality of some of the questions didn't help.
Sample (paraphrased) question: "Do you you think there will be a lot of changes for the Galaxy next year?"
Paraphrased answer: Um, yeah."
Ya think?

HAHA can u find the video of Pete?
Nick replies: Hmmm, probably not (the interview went on and on and on - and I bet Pete thought so, too). But I'll check around.
