Robbie Keane

Henry on a yellow. Believe he misses the second leg.

Robbie lasts 82 minutes, not bad!

**geysir** · 31/10/2011, 9:28 AM

I suppose the result doesn't matter but I'm curious all the same.

1-0 to LA. Good to see Robbie get so much game time with another one to come on Thursday, so should be getting back into the swing of it by the end of next week.

Also it was cold and windy yesterday down there in Jersey and it will be a nice warm up (Cold up?) for Estonia.
Golden Balls was complaining about how stupid playoffs are. Do not think he will be back with LA next year.

Second leg of the LA-NY playoff tonight at 8pm PST(3am GMT). Should LA win, they'll play at home on Sunday, lose and they're done for the year.

LA Galaxy 2-1 up with 15 minutes left (3-1 on aggregate). No goals for Keane so far but he had a couple of chances in the first half and hit the post with one.

If LA finish this off then they play a semi-final at home on Sunday against Real Salt Lake. Hopefully that gives Robbie enough time to catch a Sunday night flight back to Dublin.

Pardon my ignorance, but what the hell are New York doing in the Western Conference? Should they not be in the Eastern Conference?

They're Americans, they can do what they want......even move cities.

Its the nature of the playoff system, top 10(top 3 from each conference plus remaining 4 wildcard teams) qualify. New York finished 10th, a wildcard position. The seeding of the wildcards meant that New York, an eastern team went into the western side of the draw. Similiarly, Colorado Rapids could of won the Eastern Conference.

Starting in the offensive line for the Galaxy against Real Salt Lake (KO 2am). Surely worm or someone else across the atlantic will be watching. I'm off to bed.

I'll be watching Joe. Will post up an update at the end of the game.

I am offended, I may have low standards but I won't be wasting my time watching that ****. In fact I'd rather watch Ryman League. My only hopes are that Keane (and Chris Birchall who will be playing for T&T) come through it without injury if they play.

**Colbert Report** · 07/11/2011, 1:19 AM

Keane gets injured not five seconds into the match!

**Colbert Report** · 07/11/2011, 1:28 AM

ESPN's keys to the game: (I swear I'm not making this up)

LA: Attack the backline
RSL: Possession in the midfield

**Charlie Darwin** · 07/11/2011, 1:44 AM

LA got a soft penalty which Landon Donovan scored. 1-1 now - dreadful defending from a corner within a minute of going ahead.

**Colbert Report** · 07/11/2011, 1:51 AM

Keano hits the post in the 32nd minute off a rebound from a corner

**Charlie Darwin** · 07/11/2011, 1:52 AM

Great effort, very unlucky. He's now hit the post in all three play-off games without scoring. Let's hope that figure doesn't become four on Friday.

**Colbert Report** · 07/11/2011, 2:02 AM

Curls one wide in the 42nd minute, created something from nothing, nutmegged his marker. Commentators going on about how he's looking stronger every game he plays, and how he deserves a goal with how he's played so far tonight.
