I wish I could care about the Pan-Pacific Championship going on in Hawaii, but I just can't. Another attempt by MLS/SUM to allow its clubs to "measure themselves against foreign competition" (without having to leave the country) is really nothing more than a pre-season tournament. And for one of the teams, it's just another game to play after getting knocked out in the end-of-season playoffs. Aloha stadium is too big and the playing surface is not at all conducive to soccer, not to mention the football lines. Perhaps we know two things from these matches: Houston still have a strong squad despite the loss of some key personnel; the Galaxy still have a lot of work to do. But didn't we know that already?
Maybe the WAGs can take advantage of the PPC to get some great deals at the Saturday flea market in front of the stadium.
It's called a swap meet on the Island.

What about Beckham and his 2 assists? Just kidding, I agree that this is not so good.
I posted a link to your article at my new soccer community SoccerP.com.
Thanks,
