I Say Tomato, You Say Major League Soccer

They call themselves The L.A. Riot Squad,
and tonight, for one night only, I’ve been offered honorary membership.
No Lakers or Dodgers for these sports fans.
Nor for them The Clippers nor The Angels neither.
No, their undying allegiance goes instead
to the team known locally as The Goatbusters.
A team who’s mascot is an extraterrestrial goalkeeping
frog, capable of stopping shots travelling at the speed of light.
There is a large sign erected next to their enclosure at the
far end of the Home Depot Center stadium at CSU Dominguez Hills.
The words on the sign read thus; "Attention:
Los Angeles Galaxy supporters in section 138
will be standing and chanting through out [sic]
the match. Consider yourself warned!"
Judging from tonight’s performance, the arrival of
Brand Beckham and that cultured right foot, can’t come soon enough.
