They're Partying in Santa Monica, Weeping in San Pedro
At least I'm guessing that's the case given the two communities are the epicenters of the English and Croatian ex-pat communities respectively in Southern California after England 's 5-1 win over Croatia today that earned them a World Cup berth.
All is not lost for the Croats, however, and England can help by beating Ukraine next month.
The Galaxy's David Beckham played the irrelevant final 10 minutes in this one.
Meanwhile, U.S. striker Jozy Altidore is getting amped for T&T. He just tweeted:
Walking into the locker room, its gametime baby. MUST get 3 points. Hit yall up after the game

A native of England, he began writing about soccer in the mid-1980s and in 2000 permanently exchanged a seat in the stands for one in the press box. He lives six miles from Carson's Home Depot Center, home of the Los Angeles Galaxy, Chivas USA and the training headquarters for U.S. Soccer and is married to a long-suffering soccer widow.

OK Nickster here's one you can use, Golden Balls quoted on the BBC website regarding a rumour that he is going to play for Notts County in English League Two (which stands for two (or mavbe too) below MLS standard). County is now run by former England and Mexico Manager Sven Yawn Ericsson, and player managed by Sol Campbell.
"Ha ha! No. I haven't spoken to Sven for a while!"
Maybe he's been talking to Sol!!!
Proud to be an England supporter for once, God Bless the Queen, Rule Britannia and all that.
