It's likely been a wild year for Tristan Bowen. At one point he was the Major League Soccer's first academy player to sign a professional contract and up until this season he had shown a lot of promise. He had two goals and two assists in 10 starts, but more relevantly looked consistently dangerous and appeared to be a forward of the future.

David Beckham is once again earning a great deal of frequent flyer miles and it may finally be catching up to the LA Galaxy midfielder.

Beckham was back in his native England on Sunday and Monday on official duty with the London Olympic Committee.

2009 Korean K-League champions Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors Football Club is gearing up for the 2011 domestic and AFC Champions League seasons following its third place league finish in 2010. The team has been in the news lately for signing China international Huang Bowen and has now launched its 2011 hummel home outield player and goalkeeper kits.

Today before the team's intersquad scrimmage (where Korede Aiyegbusi (blue) and Kei Kamara (orange) scored the two goals as the Blue team went 1-0-1, Orange went 1-1, and Yellow went 0-1-1), the team put out the names of some of the trialists in camp who had previously been hidden under the name Trialist 1-6.

Chivas USA's YouTube channel has put up several videos of their preseason camp up in the Central Coast.

I've embedded a couple below, including a chat with veteran defender Jimmy Conrad and some words from former Galaxy striker Tristan Bowen of Van Nuys.

When Major League Soccer opened up shop back in 1996 it was mostly to create and sustain this division one league that would help the US National Team to grow and get better in every single match they perform in as well as all the clubs to do well.

It is, perhaps, a bit unseemly to post twice in such quick succession. But there are a few juicy tidbits worth mentioning today.

First, Curt Onalfo, formerly coach at DC, has joined the Galaxy as an assistant coach, taking Cobi Jones' place. Arena now has two assistants who have each had their own MLS team.

Author Douglas Adams wrote about how things got started by saying: "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."

I suppose it follows logically from such a start that our Galaxy would stumble their way into a new season.

The Los Angeles Galaxy has signed the second Homegrown Player in team history, coming to terms with 16-year-old forward Jack McBean, sources told SBI on Tuesday.

The Newport Beach native is a 6-foot target striker who has spent time with the U.S. Under-17 national team, having joined the Under-17 national team Residency Program in Bradenton, Florida.

It seems that everything is changing and everything remains the same. Last year the Galaxy had a fairly solid back line, an unsettled midfield, and a shaky strike force.
