I don’t have much except to note that Eddie Lewis is expected to play. (I love this picture of Lewis and his family. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.) The game can be seen on HDNet and FSN-PT at 7:30 EST, Saturday afternoon/evening.
I’m excited to see the line-up and find out if Arena [...]

The Drop Kick Seen ‘Round the World
By: jen | 2 Comments
It was a toss up whether I would post this here or at my floundering Beckham blog — and I decided it was better suited to the Beckham blog, so go take a look.
And remember, the Beckham blog needs a new writer. I have found that I am more interesting in writing Galaxy-related posts here [...]

Gash in his head and all.
Ruiz will go to Toronto — probably cleats up after watching last night’s game.
Lewis is a great acquisition, especially having played for Bruce Arena for many years already. That will make the transition to the team go more quickly and effectively.
I don’t have news on the financial aspect of [...]

Anyone else?
I’m looking forward to seeing Eddie Lewis in a Galaxy uniform. Even on the left midfield he’s going to help calm the flow through the midfield down while making smart and timely passes.
And if Pando tackles Donovan again . . . I don’t want him or Lewis injured please.
And what’s with the lighting? [...]
Category: Player NewsVermes Initially Offered GM Job
By: jen | 3 Comments
Kansas City’s Peter Vermes was offered the GM position before Bruce Arena, but turned it down.
Interesting.
Arena wasn’t AEG’s first choice.
From the Kansas City Star:
“A week ago (Tuesday), AEG asked for permission to speak to me,” Vermes said. “Our ownership group (OnGoal LLC) … granted that permission.
“I got a call, and they offered me the job. [...]

So I guess the one way to ensure that there are no power struggles at the top is to make sure that there is only one holder of power. Right?
At least that’s apparently what AEG is hoping for.
Bruce Arena was installed today not just as the expected coach, but as [...]

Soccer by Ives is reporting that Bruce Arena gets his official introduction today as Galaxy coach today at 11:00. And he’s bringing Dave Sarachan with him as his assistant.
What does this mean for Cobi? I have no clue, aside from Ives’ assertion that “Cobi Jones is expected to remain on the Galaxy [...]

For anyone who might have missed the game (or overindulged in intoxicating beverages and missed key portions of the game, like, say, Alan Gordon’s stoppage time goal), here are the highlights.
Watching this, I was struck by the fact that these were four quality goals. (And Nurse is a huge acquisition for Chivas.) [...]

I’m still sort of recovering from last nights match. Hopefully someone will put up a post-mortem, but not likely not me; I’m still too raw from it all.
The day before yesterday, well the night really, I couldn’t sleep, I was thinking that this is the kind of Corporate Hood think that really [...]
Hey, I’m the New Kid

Like Nathan and Jen, I’m helping Laurie phatten-up our fair blog’s sandbox. I just wanted to introduce myself before you get to read my first post. What a time to arrive, in the middle of the Shakeup of 2008 and the aftermath of last night’s hard fought…draw. I’m not getting much sleep, [...]
