How about them Wizards?
Anyway, the injury of Sean Franklin means the Galaxy have had to scramble to replace him. He's been
their most consistent defender, rookie or no.
So who replaces him? Greg Vanney or Troy Roberts? The short answer is that both players are in the
starting lineup.
Galaxy: Cronie, Kleiny, Troy, Vanney, Ante, Ely, Becks, Pete, Willie, Eddie, LD
Chivas USA: Guzano, Talley, Shavar, Jonny, 'Tiba, Sach, Jesse, Nags, Panchito, 'Te.
Once again Chivas USA were prematurely knocked out of the Open Cup by the Seattle Sounders.
Not surprisingly, only six starters were included in the line up. Not sure if Preki thought the
first team needed a rest.
Is this a bad thing? Should we go after every tournament? Something should be said for fixture
congestion.
Given the focus that this blog has given to United's roster this year, I thought it would be
appropriate to base our Mid-Season Review specifically on the roster moves that the team has made.
In part 1, we will look at United's acquisitions, meaning the players that the team added since the
end of last season that they didn't have to give up anything for.
