The (Sexy?) SuperClásico
By: Richard | April 11th, 2009While searching for footage from last year’s SuperClásico, I came across this rather unfortunate mash-up. Just a year later, it’s hard not to find this clip incredibly dated, and i’m not just referring to the soundtrack. The year was 2008, and the run-up to the SuperClásico could not have been much different. The Galaxy were grabbing all the headlines both on and off the field. At Galaxy games, it was not unusual to overhear fans debate the merits of even having a “2nd” team sharing the stadium. The game gave us some of the most questionable defense you will ever see at a professional level. The kind of display MLS haters save on their DVR’s, waiting for a chance to publicly flog the league. I won’t even get into Landycake’s “WTF was he thinking??” hand ball. Quite frankly, this was a game to forget.
A year later, and it looks as if the tables have turned. It would seem, metaphorically speaking, that Chivas USA have indeed brought the “sexy back” to their game. As a reformed Galaxy fan, my old team looks more like a cast-aside ex: pretty face (Arena), savvy personality, sharp dresser, but alas not much going on upstairs. The Chivas on the contrary, are looking like the kind of beautiful, reliable, put-together partner I could see myself settling down with.
LandyCakes, no doubt suffering separation anxiety from a certain set-up man, pinned Chivas’ extraordinary start on “getting a little bit of luck.”
Looking less attractive every day.
