Our very own, freakishly skilled, Landon Donovan received his 100th cap for the USMNT yesterday at Giants Stadium against #1 in the world ranked Argentina. Although it’s arguable that it’s easier to reach 100 caps when playing for the US (where the competition for caps has been weaker than for other world teams, like [...]

Not a bad outing overall. Wicks was fantastic in goal. How I’d love to see him start an MLS game!

The Galaxy to do Battle with the Axis of Evil?
By: Laurie | 5 Comments
Do we want to paint this in deep, dark philosophical terms, or is it just another high-profile Galaxy friendly?
Whatever. Our boys are apparently going to play Iran in May. (Despite previous Galaxy front office protestations to the contrary.)
