And, ladies and gents, we have our first real goal of the year frontrunner. Seattle's own Fredy Montero makes a flash appearance with a thunderclap from on high to set the final score at 2-0 in a tone-setting win over the Galaxy. Watching this game tonight made me wonder whether Bruce Arena conceded defeat before the opening whistle blew.

Here's another week of former SKC Wizards updates. First, came word last week that Craig Rocastle will not be playing for the Missouri Comets. Instead he has moved to Greece where he's joined his former club, Thrasyvoulos Fylis FC, who is currently at the bottom of the second division in Greece. In other news, Ryan Smith has come out with his side of what happened when he left KC.

And I'm not talking about Beckham's 2-year $15 million contract.

I'm talking about Omar Gonzalez. Last month Omar pulled out of the national team training camp for a very exciting loan move to Nurnberg. His very first day there he suffered a season ending injury at the hands well, feet of his USMNT teammate Timmy Chandler.

Another week of former Wizards updates, and another week of Herculez Gomez scoring a goal. Tonight he scored twice against Toronto in the CONCACAF Champion's League. Here's the rest of this week's update.

Another week of former SKC Wizards updates, some extra news this week as well. By now you've heard about Craig Rocastle signing with the Missouri Comets, but there's other news as well. Eddie Johnson's club career continues to spiral down for him, as he's already out at Puebla in Mexico. Apparently the forward failed his physical and was not fit and was released basically 2 days after showing up in Mexico.

Another week of Sporting KC Wizards updates. As mentioned yesterday, 8 former players are up for the US Soccer Hall of Fame.

Also, Neal Kitson is on the move, joining Northampton Town of the Football League 2.

Here's another former SKC Wizards update. The MLS season is getting closer. Some of the names in the unknown category will probably start to jump onto teams here in the near future. Here's the rest of the update.

Davy Arnaud - Montreal - Season is over.

The MLS season is getting closer, and we're approaching the end of the former SKC Wizards season. Some former are still on trial with different teams, including Scott Sealy who looks set to sign with Dallas. In other news, former player, Scott Lorenz, will be playing in Florida this year with the Fort Lauderdale Strikers, who had former players Aaron Hohlbein and Abe Thompson on the team last year.

Preseason is all about learning and both the Los Angeles Galaxy and Chivas USA felt that a great deal was learned in their preseason scrimmage on Thursday as the Galaxy defeated Chivas, 3-2

Starting a primarily reserve team lineup, the Galaxy jumped out to a three goal lead in the first half goals.

Another week of former Wizards updates. Eddie Johnson did sign with MLS, he ended up going to Montreal, but the Impact traded him to Seattle for Mike Fucito and Lamar Neagle. Another former Wizard has a new club as well, as Rauwshan McKenzie has officially signed with Chivas USA after being on trial with them all of preseason.

Here is this week's former SKC Wizards update. A week from now, the new season for former SKC Wizards will start with MLS teams kicking off in the CCL. Plenty of former Wizards are working to get contracts, JT Murray is currently on trial with LA, Stephane Auvray is on trial with Columbus, and Scott Sealy looks set to sign with Dallas.

A new former SKC Wizards season has started with the start of the MLS season. Some quick stats, Kevin Hartman led all players in games played in all competitions, and minutes played with 45 games and 4050 minutes. Herculez Gomez led in league games with 37. Gomez also led in league goals scored with 14 in the past year.

This week's former SKC Wizards update is out. Herculez Gomez just continues to score goals, scoring two in the past week. In other news, Carlos Marinelli is looking for a new club. According to this article, Marinelli apparently is back in the US for some reason. So it'll be interesting to see if he turns up with a US club.

Another week of former SKC Wizards updates. Congrats to Davy Arnaud for scoring the first goal in the history of the Montreal Impact in MLS play. Also congrats to Daneil Cyrus on being called up by the Trinidad U23 team for Olympic qualifying this weekend. Here's the rest of this week's update.

CARSON, Calif. --The professional career of Los Angeles Galaxy Homegrown product Jose Villarreal may not have begun as he would have liked, but after recovering from an knee injury cut his preseason short, the 18-year-old midfielder is eager to make an impact with the defending MLS Cup champions.

Davy Arnaud - Montreal - No game this week.

CARSON, Calif. --Pat Noonan scored in stoppage time to help the Los Angeles Galaxy steal a late point from FC Dallas in a 1-1 draw at Home Depot Center on Saturday night.

Shea converted a penalty kick in the 61st minute after Galaxy back-up goalkeeper Bill Guadette brought down forward Blas Perez in the box a the Panamanian drove towards goal after a defensive miscue by the Galaxy's David Junior Lopes.

Down by one goal heading into stoppage time, another loss filled with missed opportunities and defensive mistakes seemed likely for the Los Angeles Galaxy on Saturday night.

Turns out all they needed was one chance.

In a wild match at the Home Depot Center, it was the battle-tested veteran Pat Noonan that played the role of hero for the Galaxy, as his goal in the 92nd minute helped LA avert what would've been another head-scratching loss, and instead, the Galaxy come out of Saturday's match with FC Dallas with a point courtesy of a 1-1 draw.

Another week of former SKC Wizards updates. Two new former players are on the list Michal Mravec is playing in the Dutch second division, while Milos Stojcev is playing for FC Akzhayik, the league leaders in Kazakhstan. In fact, Stojcev scored on the weekend. Also active this week, was Yura Movsisyan, who scored 3 goals in two games this week.

Nagging injuries, travel, and a Saturday fixture with NY Red Bulls meant that David Beckham and Robbie Keane would not be participating in tonight's match in against the Sounders in Seattle. Galaxy would start Adam Cristman & Chad Barrett up front to match the physicality of Jeff Parke and Jhon Kennedy Hurtado.

While the LA Galaxy didn't send their big names, in some ways that complicates the approach to the game. As Sigi Schmid pointed out in post game comments, the Seattle Sounders don't know what Sean Franklin as a midfielder is, or how Adam Cristman plays, or who is Brian Gaul. Now Seattle knows. They know that the lineup that the Galaxy put forward is beatable.

Nick Rimando has come to Real Salt Lake's rescue countless times over his tenure with the club, but RSL will have to do without their steady goalkeeper Wednesday night.

Rimando suffered a shoulder injury during RSL's 2-1 victory over the New England Revolution Saturday night, and he did not travel with the club for its mid-week match against the Chicago Fire at Toyota Park.

This week's former SKC Wizards update is available for you. The European leagues are starting to wind down for the year, while the US leagues are really kicking into gear. In indoor news, two former players were called up to the US Futsal national team. Boris Pardo, currently of the Missouri Comets, and Pat Healey were both called in for a camp as they prepare for the CONCACAF Fustal championships.

Another week of former SKC Wizards updates. The foreign leagues are starting to wind down for the season at this point. Here's the full update.
