I thought it was a very exciting match. The players played very loose, letting some exciting passes and strikes fly. I personally thought the MLS all-stars dominated the game, but what does that really mean? They are an all-star team in mid-season form and West Ham is a 10th place EPL team in training camp. Good event overall though.

By the way, West Ham was sooooooo much better and a credit to this event than Chelsea was two years ago. Despite MLS only winning that game 1-0 Chelsea was dominated, playing at half speed and more concerned about hitting the town or the local bakery in some cases than taking a good account of themselves.

Tonight West Ham was a credit to football and it was an outstanding match, where the English team that was invited actually performed like they wanted to be over here.

M2FC,

Grow up. I’m not a racist for calling the way that West Ham plays ‘vanilla.’ Hopefully you’re joking.

Cheers,
The Gaffer

What was the topper for me was this following will Spuds break top 4.

and nice that you insinuate that there would be fan violence.

just bad cliches which are just wrong.

West Ham has always played the ENGLISH game of attacking football. LFC plays god knows, Spanish bull ole’s …

but whatever, if you wanna go through life hating the English way of play, maybe you should change the name of our blog, yeah?

Blanco getting the MVP , thank god the game was in Canada.

That #$%@@%@#!

Blanco is now and will forever be the enemy of fans of the US National Team. I’m glad he’s done well in Chicago and brought new fans to the league. He benefited today from playing with Beckham, S. Joseph and J. Toja, one gifted footballer, one tough as nails and tactically savvy holding player, and one very technical left footed midfielder. Blanco can be brilliant but just don’t expect more Americans to like him even though we are greatful he’s come to MLS.

I can still see that golden goal he scored to beat us in Azteca in the 1999 Confederations Cup semifinals. We were playing for PKs hoping for Friedel to save us there and we got burned. Brad got way off his line and Blanco in a cheeky fashion chipped it over him for the “golden goal” . We were eliminated and the enemy beat Brazil in the final.

I hate that bastard, Blanco.

Well, it was a great show and entertaining game. Maybe not great technical football, but with a MLS win and Blanco getting the MVP award, it was brilliant for me.

Racist Gaffer!!!!!
I’m intrigued by this match but it’s hard to get excited. West Ham is one of the most vanilla football clubs in the Premier League. The club has few players that spark a lot of emotion other than Dean Ashton. Then there’s boring old manager Alan Curbishley.

VANILLA.. you racist
