5-1, my boys (minus gordon)

what up peeps! i. loved. that. game. (except not getting to see gordon, my fellow OSU alum. he was back in la with an injury from a practice session. DUDE!)

got back from frisco a while ago but i had to take a shower and relax a little. it was FREAKIN 93 degrees today (but thankfully there were periodic breezes to bring relief). needless to say we were all sweaty. plus we were sitting below & to the left of guardia roja, so i also had to get the confetti out of my bra. yup, even got caught in a few streamers too! totally awesome atmosphere. as the game was getting ready to start, david was @ midfield on our side. many fans (including myself) shouted & cheered for him. he flashed his oh-so-sexy smile at us. in fact, i had the pleasure of seeing him smile several times as the galaxy stunned the hoops in the first half. an fc dallas fan across the aisle from me was so upset he was intensely shouting that he should get his money back because of fc’s poor performance. i sat there pretty smugly and said to mere, “not me. i’m getting my money’s worth!” and whaddya know, edson with his hat trick?! sweet! and…i know cronin (goalkeeper) makes galaxy fans nervous, but i have to give him credit for some saves in the first half, especially the one in the 16th-some-odd minute…he was “big” there. 2nd half…well, i wasn’t as closely tuned-in due to my being on my celebratory 3rd beer & having fun with friends. however, things got exciting real fast when becks got taken down. becks lunged toward the culprit, fc's bench was up and getting in the mix. galaxy's bench got up. coaches were in between players. A-C-T-I-O-N!!! hoops people booed & became hostile when serioux was sent off. whatever. as david waved…buh-bye.

na, na, na, na…hey, hey, hey…goodbye.

so, here are the pics i said i'd post. almost wasn't gonna have any to share. you see, i got "red carded" (sent off) myself...by the security guard at the gate. apparently, the lens that i had on my camera was too much for pizza hut park to handle (has to be less than 5 inches). *totally* pissed off, i had to walk my camera back to my car. luckily mere had her shorter lens with her, so her camera captured these shots:

becks and klein warming up

this landon picture is for tay tay!

the inferno-one of fc dallas' supporter groups

guardia roja (another supporter group). they were right above us and on the side. these guys play samba beats on drums and other instruments, cheer, blow horns and throw heaps of confetti. it was awesome being in a very lively section!

did i mention that they also threw *many* rolls of streamers? yes folks, this was our section.

the boys celebrating their first goal (it was by klein). oh, and some more streamers...

it's nice to know that if all of david's millions were to disappear, he still looks gorgeous while picking up trash. not many people can pull that off you know...

monica, me and mere during half time

becks' trademark kick

and there he goes with his sexy way of clapping @ the end of the match {whoops, some drool just hit the keyboard}
