Well, at Least the Galaxy Reserves Won

I love reading the lineup for Galaxy Reserves games. It’s like a Who’s Who of people I’ve never heard of.

(And I’ll give you just a second to think about that comment.)

Actually, it’s more like a Who’s Who of people I’ve never heard of, plus Developmental Players and a couple of first teamers.

Los Angeles Galaxy – Lance Friesz, Ian Russell (Steve Cronin 83′), Kyle Veris, Andy O’Shay, Gordon Kljestan, Taylor Canel, Josh Tudela, Wilmer Lopez (Robbie Findley 67′), Mike Randolph, Santino Quaranta ©, Mike Casso.

Yes, the copyright sign after Santino’s name came directly from the Galaxy website. I have no idea why it’s there, but I think if I could just smoke enough Herbalife I could determine the deeper meaning behind it.

But anyhoo. Unlike the sad game the night before, the Galaxy beat the Revs Reserves 2-1. Santino Quaranta, mister Copyright himself, was the man of the match, scoring both goals. The first on a PK, the second:

A quick outlet pass from Friesz found Casso wide on the left near the midfield stripe. Casso pushed forward and chipped a pass over the Revolution backline for Quaranta who fired a right-footed shot that beat New England ‘keeper Brad Knighton high at the right post, putting the Galaxy in front 2-1.

Scoring Summary:
LA – Santino Quaranta (Penalty Kick) 33′
NE – Pat Noonan (Willie Sims) 44′
LA – Santino Quaranta (Mike Casso, Lance Friesz) 59′

(And is anybody else looking at that photo above and thinking we should give Santino a faux-hawk?)
