Laurent Merlin (aka The French Guy) Is Playing WHERE?!?

merlin-chivas.jpgTake a good look at this photo and tell me: What TF is wrong with this picture?

Does this look like our French guy, Laurent Merlin? Certainly does to me!

BUT. Does this look like the Galaxy green and gold?!?!

Uhh… Not so much.

So somebody please tell me: What the hell is our French guy, Laurent Merlin, doing playing for freakin’ Chivas USA?!!? My last Merlin article, showing Merlin in green and gold, was dated 3/2. Today is 3/4. Two days, and it’s all gone to hell.

Since the Galaxy website is, as usual, telling us nothing, let’s visit the Chivas’ website, shall we? Okay… Let’s see… What do we have…

Lineups:
Chivas USA (4-4-2): Sam Reynolds (Kenny Schoeni 46) – Éder Robles, Carlos Borja (Desmond Brooks 46), Carlos Llamosa (Cameron Dunn 34), Lyle Martin (Andy O’Shea 46) – Erasmo Solórzano, Jesse Marsch (Mohammed Sethi 46), Juan Cobián (Rodrigo López 46), Amado Guevara (Carlos Borja 58) – Matt Taylor (Hamilton 46), Laurent Merlin.

So there you go. It’s official. Not a Gal, maybe a Chiva. (And can somebody tell me what the hell a “Chiva” is?”)

Sigh. Color me officially disgusted with the Galaxy management.

    Just read the LA Times article on Chivas, was quite impressed with their philosophy. Should make great games. Do Galaxy fans really hate Chivas? I'm already SO bad at hating rival teams and hear I am already fond of my newest sides' local one!
  • Didn't see that one coming...

    If you switch teams I'm coming with you :).
