Galaxy’s New Goalkeeper, Lance Friesz

By: Laurie | March 29th, 2007

I read this last week and forgot to write about it. Sorry, Lance! From the Galaxy Website:

The Galaxy have signed goalkeeper Lance Friesz from the University of San Diego, and placed him on their Developmental Roster. Friesz, a native of Laguna Niguel, Calif., was acquired by the club off waivers on Monday. The 23-year old appeared in and started 76 games for the Toreros in his four years with the program, recording a 37-25-13 record while posting 21 shutouts from 2003-2006. As a freshman in 2003, he was named to the All-West Coast Conference Second Team after posting a 12-4-4 record with a 0.76 goals against average, helping USD reach the Second Round of the NCAA Tournament.

Lance is apparently taking the place of our dear, departed SuperDraft pick Tally Hall, who left the US for the greener pastures of Denmark. (Hmm… Do they really have green pastures in Denmark at this time of year? Must research this.)

I don’t know a lot about Lance, actually. His LA Galaxy Roster Page reads:
name: Lance Friesz
position: GK
height:
weight:0

Weight zero, eh? Do you think Posh is in awe or what?

(Okay, okay, making Posh anorexia jokes is in poor taste. But since when has that ever stopped me?)

Wait, here we go. His college player bio. Which lists him at a healthy 6′3″ and 190. This is kind of a relief, because I was a little worried about how a vapor could stop shots.

But at any rate. Welcome, Lance!

Kenny, it is my goal in life to put odd visuals in my readers' heads. Truly, it's what I live for.

David, it is apparently your writer's life goal also.

Connor, yes, it's true, I'm a HORRIBLE person who is going to hell. :-)

Talking about Posh, this came up at IMDB.com and I thought you would get a kick out of it:

Magazine Editors Urge Beckham To Get a Bra

The editors of American magazine Us Weekly have pleaded with ex-Spice Girl Victoria Beckham to cover up when she becomes a Los Angeles resident this summer because they're sick of seeing her nipples. The magazine chiefs have penned a letter to Beckham, formerly known as Posh Spice, asking her to wear bras - and posted it on their website. They write, "There is nothing Posh about forgetting to wear a bra when gallivanting about in thin T-shirts, as you've unfortunately been known to do. It is obvious to us that the bra may be a foreign concept to you - much like American football, or the good sense to avoid Tom Cruise - so allow us to explain: You're a 32-year-old woman with perky breasts that apparently like to breathe. Keep shunning that bra and in five years you'll end up with pendulums hanging off your clavicle that hubby David Beckham might mistake for soccer ball bags."
