By: NathanHJ | 6 Comments
I’ve got two words for you in the aftermath of the Galaxy’s second victory of the year, on the road in Toronto.
And those words are: Edson Buddle.
Two appearances in the last two games, both with less than 30 minutes to go in the match and two goals displaying heads-up play and clinical finishing. In [...]

No, Really. I Swear.

Everyone’s favorite biggest star in the world of futbol, David Beckham has finally, officially, completed the switch to AC Milan, ending the soap opera in which millions of electrons were killed to provide up-to-the second speculation, rumor, and (mis)information. As about a trillion futbol and so-called news sites are reporting, Becks, AEG, AC Milan, the [...]
Beckham Completes AC Milan Switch
By: NathanHJ | 26 Comments
So.
After three years (including the 2009 season) David Beckham leaves the Galaxy and MLS for the greener pastures of AC Milan and Serie A. As numerous sources are reporting (but my favorite is the crusty reportage coming from LA Times futbol guru Grahame Jones – see today’s story here, which has lots of details, along [...]

(Quick edit to add that the Galaxy rejected a $10 million offer today, 2/7/09)
Well, kids, it looks like we are going from rumor to reality in the Becks-to-AC Milan sweepstakes. David Beckham has now said publicly that he wants to stay at AC Milan and has directed his lawyers to work out a deal between [...]
Day After Thoughts On Galaxy Changes
By: NathanHJ | 17 Comments
Now that it is The Day After, I have a few thoughts on what just happened.
Alexi Lalas‘ firing was at least a year too late and was a laughably inept hire in the first place. Lalas was good at many things, like being a salesman extraordinaire, doing color commentary, creating funny ESPN Sportscenter promotional spots, [...]

Updates at bottom.
So the hammer comes down.
The Los Angeles Times, in a story by Grahame Jones, reports that AEG has axed BOTH Alexi Lalas and Ruud Gullit in a meeting held today.
Jones reports,
In a pair of sweeping changes brought about by a Major League Soccer season in meltdown, the Los Angeles Galaxy today removed [...]
From Rumor To Reality: Gibbs to Galaxy
By: NathanHJ | 15 Comments
Or so says Ives in this post.
I’m on record in the comments of my last SBI Supporter’s View saying that I wouldn’t have used the allocation for Cory Gibbs due to his injury history and cost against the salary cap (not like I actually know what that is, of course). But I am not [...]

Sam, commenting in this post, reprints portions of an SI.com article from Jonah Freedman, which goes in-depth on some of the goings-on in the wake of the recent miserable performance of the Los Angeles Galaxy on the field. I figured this kind of this deserves its own posting.
Here’s how the article starts:
