“The buildup of steam under pressure…”

By Jay Hipps · August 11, 2008

We have some news out of Los Angeles but first, we want to take a moment to salute the gang over at Mythbusters, the Discovery Channel hit that’s filmed locally over at M5 Industries, a visual effects house in San Francisco.

What does this have to do with soccer? Imagine, if you will, that the L.A. Galaxy is a tiny red house. Then, watch the following. As the narrator says, “the buildup of steam under pressure can cause many things to go off.”


There. Now, with that introduction, we can properly share the news that Alexi Lalas and Ruud Gullit are no longer employed by the Galaxy. To continue with our analogy, a review of the Galaxy’s press release reveals that the role of the water heater was played by AEG president Tim Leiweke.

“Look at the house!” “What house? I don’t see a house!”

The news is sure to come as a disappointment to Earthquakes fans, who undoubtedly had hoped that Lalas and Gullit would remain at the team’s helm for the foreseeable future.

Have any thoughts on the move? Feel free to leave a comment below.

    Somehow that experiment should have involved a toilet.

    too funny. whoever is in charge (meaning Lieweke’s boss) is clearly not paying attention. he must be the very definition of brown-nosing yes man to have kept his job this long. they can keep firing coaches and GM’s as often as they like as far as I’m concerned! :D
