LA Galaxy v New York City FC Preseason

Posted on by teresamunoz91

I have been an LA Galaxy fan since mid 2010/early 2011. A few years ago, I even had the season tickets. But once I started working, I could no longer go to games because I was always working weekends. Last year, in 2017, I only went to two or three games. Now that I left my supermarket job, my weekends are free! So I plan to go to a lot more games this year. My friend Gio gave me a ticket to LA Galaxy’s preaseason game against New York City FC (NYCFC) over the weekend. She said it was my birthday present.

Earlier in the day, I went for a 17 mile run. I was exhausted when I got home and wanted to stay in bed all day. I was almost going to miss this game, but I forced myself to go. I am so glad I did. It was a good game! LA Galaxy won 3-0. However, since this was their first game together, with so many new players, they were rusty. But they defended well and had a few shots on goal. They had a lot of things they ned to work on, but I am hopeful that they have a better season than last year!

2014 in review

Posted on by teresamunoz91

2014 was a good year for me, well most of it anyways. I would have to say that January through October was good for me 😃 November and December, not so much. What are some major things that hastened in 2014? Here are just a few things that happened last year.

  1. Ayanna Sophia Faith was born.She was born in February 2014 and is such a cute little sister.Definitely one of the best things that happened in 2014.
  2. I finally transferred to an university, Cal State University Los Angeles, aka Cal State L.A.. I was going to Rio Hondo for many years. It took me a while but I finally transferred to a 4 year school.
  3. I went with my sister to the Mall of America with my 16 year old sister. One of my favorite weekend trips. I had wanted to go there for more than 15 years!
  4. Celebrated my one year anniversary with my boyfriend.
  5. Moved out of my home that I had lived in for 7/8 years.
  6. I also got to see Real Madrid play in person for the fourth year in a row! Went to see them with my boyfriend at the Dodger Stadium. We also watched Juventus, LA Galaxy, and Everton. I got to see Fernando Llorente and Claudio Marchisio in person!
  7. One bad thing that happened last year was that Xabi Alonso left Real Madrid. Going to miss him a lot, he was one of my favorite Madrid players!.

2012 Football/Soccer Memories

Posted on by teresamunoz91

2012 was a great year when it came to football/soccer! I went to two different states- Arizona and Oregon (Portland)- yes, just to watch a match! I also got to see my favorite club play in person (for the second time) Real Madrid and I got to see Tottenham Spurs. Oh, and LA Galaxy won the MLS Cup for the second year in a row 🙂

Arizona

In January, a week before my 21st birthday, I went with the Ameircan Outlaws to Arizona on a bus. For those who don’t know, the American Outlaws are the USMNT’s supporter group. Anywyas, the bus ride was about 12 hours, of course we stopped to get something to eat. I didn’t know anyone on the bus, but I ran into some people I knew when I was in Arizona. I also met a few people there, who I’ve kept in touch with via twitter. The match I went to watch was USA v Venezuela. The US ended up winning that match 1-0. That lone goal was scored in the 90th minute, well in stoppage time.

Portland

The next trip for me was to Portland, Oregon. Before making this trip, I really had no interest in ever visiting Portland. After all, the only thing I knew about Portland was the fact that they had a very popular donut shop called Voodoo Donuts. Once I was there, however, I think it’s safe to say I fell in love with the city!

First Match of the Season

Posted on by teresamunoz91

On Tuesday, I went to the LA Galaxy v Tijuana Xolos preseason friendly. What a match! LA Galaxy won 6-2. Yes, Tijuana was using their reserves (their senior/first team was playing in a Copa Libertadores) but in the second half, when LA scored 4 goals, they were also using their reserve team.

I went to the game with my sister Angelina, as a birthday present. She turns 7 on Saturday. I also went with my grandpa, who said this was his first real live football match ever! I’m so glad I’ve been able to take so many people to their first live football match (my mom, stepdad, 3 sisters, brother, and now my grandpa. Oh also, my friend from tennis) Next person-my grandma lol Well, we were surrounded by Tijuana fans, of course

When they played both national anthems, me and my sister were the only ones who sang the Star Spangled Banner. When they introduced the players, we weren’t alone in shouting the last names of the players, there was about 4 people who yelled their names behind us. Of course every time LA scored, and we had to say their names, only like 5 of us were shouting their names haha but it was fun.

The one thing that wasn’t super fun was the weather! It doesn’t rain often here in California, but when it does, it pours! First half wasn’t so bad, second half however, omg! It started pouring and it even hailed a little bit. It was windy, so that didn’t help. We were freezing out there! Despite all this, I enjoyed the game. But then again, who wouldn’t enjoy seeing their team win 6-2, even under all the circumstances? haha Too bad this might be my last LA Galaxy game for a long time! Maybe even until Portland game in July.

LA Galaxy- Spurs game

Posted on by teresamunoz91

                        As most of you might know by now, I’m a Manchester City fan.This doesn’t mean that I don’t enjoy watching other EPL teams every now and then. One of those teams is Tottenham Hotspur aka Spurs.

                 My favorite Spurs player is Gareth Bale. I’ve heard/read some of the things people have said about him, they say he’s a diver, he lied about being injured to get out of the Olympics( maybe he was

just upset about David Beckham not being called up, so he was protesting! lol kidding of course) and I’ve seen people make fun of his appearance. But IDC because I think he’s a great player and very

adorable with his rosy cheeks and his new haircut =P lol

                    Well, it was awesome getting to see Bale play (in person). It was also cool to see Walker (he’s so fast!)and OMG, I got to see AVB!!! AHH, he’s seriously the most attractive football manager! lol The game was pretty good, I got to see Bale score a goal 🙂 and guess who score for LA Galaxy? Lopes! hahaha yes, I’m serious =P lol The game ended in a 1-1 draw, I’m pretty happy I went to that game.
