The stat has been repeated all week. The Galaxy are winless with giving up the first goal, and winless when trailing at half time.
They haven’t done much to try and change that fact. After a 12’ goal by Davy Arnaud of Kansas City, the Galaxy have managed a whopping total of 0 shots on goal. The Galaxy are leading the Wizards in attempts, 4 – 3, continuing another trend of dominating possession but having nothing to show for it.
Neither keeper has a save, with KC’s lone goal to only shot on goal. As one writer quipped to me during the cookie dash, their keeper could have been checking his facebook status on his iPhone and had the same result.
The Galaxy have had all the Corner attempts, 6 to Kansas City’s 0, while Kansas City has been fouling like a forgotten egg, 9 fouls to he Galaxy’s 5.
Edson Buddle hasn’t had a shot, while Mike Magee managed one. The Galaxy’s best attempt was a shot from Birchall outside the box that sailed high.
Now, onto the second half.

I have to say this
the current half is infinitely more interesting than the first, even if Kansas City seems vulnerable to the expeliarmus charm, keeps flopping all over the place.

Birchall!
The boy sure ate his Wheaties today, with two shots on goal, all of them strong. He just needs to place it better

Great save Rickets!
once again, he has to come out and stop the play ’cause of a goof in the back

Yellow card
given to Chris Birchall, Ryan Smith is walking, but very slowly

And Kansas City
sneaks in a second goal, the goal is given to Jimmy Conrad, a defender. Things are going south, quickly

I’d say it’s closer to 18-19k in total butts in seats
