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.
By Andrew Villegas The problem with the MLS expansion draft candy dish is that you have to wade
through a hundred stale Tootsie Rolls (some of which cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, go
figure) to get to that proverbial Snickers bar. This is the worst kept secret in American soccer.

Remember Chinatown? It is a great movie about water rights, land development, and conspiracy,
starring a young Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway. There is an iconic, incest revealing scene in
which Nicholson is trying to determine Dunaway's relationship to this girl. He keeps slapping her
and with each slap she switches from "my sister" to "my daughter.

We always miss players when they are away, but we could have won the game at the end of the

The only one good thing about tonight is that we lost these games at home last
year.
Juninho battles Shalrie Joseph in the Galaxy's 1-0 win at New England on May 28th.
Three games in eight days has become almost routine for the Los Angeles Galaxy
this season, and for a few other teams as well, as the schedule makes room for not on the US Open
Cup, and the CONCACAF Champions League, but also the CONCACAF Championship, the Gold Cup with the
winner getting a slot in the FIFA Confederations Cup in 2013 in Brazil.
There isn't going to be very much that's pretty about today's clash between New York Red Bulls
and the Los Angeles Galaxy. The Galaxy are not yet last year's fluid ball-handling team and are
still experiencing drop-offs in the defensive end and the offensive third. New York had the best
midfield unit in the league when you combine talent with their ability to work with one
another.

I know this is Friday morning, a time for looking ahead to the next game, not looking back at
the previous one, but we never got a review of the FC Dallas match up due to a combination of lame
amateur blogging and really heinous back-end problems with the blogging software.
Today's match-up between the Galaxy and the expansion Portland Timbers is a tale of four teams
and the question is which two are going to show up.
On the one hand we have an expansion franchise (though not completely new the Timbers have
played quality futbol as part of the old USL-1 and other domestic leagues for years) which got a
point out of its first four games and then exploded at home for six points and seven gols.
Chad Barrett scores his first gol for the Galaxy after astrally projecting his spirit into
Chicago's attack causing open gol misses while he pounded his chance home.
It took until the (league-most) seventh game played but at Toyota Park in Bridgeview, IL, the LA
Galaxy finally got a second gol from a striker, finally got more than one gol in a game, and
finally got the full three points from a game in this 4800-mile road trip.
Edson. Edson. Come back.
Edson Buddle, How Do I Miss Thee?
How do I miss thee? Let me count the ways
I miss thee to the depth and breadth and height
Chad Barrett's shots do miss with all his might.
The ends of Becks' crosses very well placed
I miss thee as you did speedily race.
The Galaxy celebrates Mike Magee's 12th minute gol against DC United
Okay, let's just get this out of the way at the top: Charlie Davies dove like a
scuba professional searching for treasure in the Caribbean. He dove like the snout of a pig into
the muck of the forest on the search for truffles.
That's an aspirational headline, not an outright prediction. But, having hedged my professional
prognostication reputation with that disclaimer, let's just put it right out there: despite the
rigors of cross-country travel and lurking parity, the Los Angeles Galaxy is the better team in
each of the three match-ups that start tonight with the contest at RFK Stadium against DC United
(then Toronto FC and Chicago Fire).

One week to go.
One week to MLS First Kick 2011 and the opening of a do-or-die season for the Los Angeles
Galaxy. I recently wrote that 2011 was Bruce Arena's MLS Cup or Bust season.
But of all the teams that could be considered contenders for MLS Cup at this point, you have to
like the Galaxy to bring it all home.
Galaxy players in training at ASU earlier this month (from The Bleacher Report)
The 2011 MLS season, the 16th edition since play began in 1996, starts in one month.
No matter how you look at the off-season moves that Arena and crew made, there can be only one
conclusion: Bruce Arena sees this year as the year he brings the Cup back to Los Angeles.

Is it too early to peg Darlington Nagbe as the MLS rookie of the year favorite?
The Portland Timbers midfielder-forward showed a glimpse of the lofty potential that made him
the No. 2 pick in January's SuperDraft, scoring the equalizer during his side's first exhibition
as an MLS club, a 1-1 draw Friday with the Ventura County Fusion in Ventura, Calif.
The light of heaven shined upon us today and the Galaxy twitterverse burst forth with joy. We
have been sent our Angel.
The Galaxy announced today that they have signed Juan Pablo Angel to a multi-year contract as
the team's third DP (Becks and Landycakes being the other two). The big question now is whether our
Angel can earn his wings.
