So what can we expect to hear after Saturday's Chelsea vs. LA game? Here's what I am guessing: Chelsea wins big Chelsea supporters: "As expected" Galaxy supporters: "It will take a while for the team to mesh. We sent a strong message" A close game either way Chelsea supporters: "Everyone stayed healthy. The main goal was to promote football in the US" Galaxy supporters: "MLS is now at a new level" Galaxy wins big Chelsea supporters: "It's only a friendly. The boys were tired from all the travel and LA distractions" Galaxy supporters: "It's a new day for soccer" I personally expect Chelsea to win by 2 goals and expect to hear comments about earning respect.
Who cares as long as Galaxy pocket the money and become another beneficiary of what I call the Beckham economics.
