Well, at Least the Galaxy Reserves Won

By: Laurie | May 15th, 2007

quaranta.jpgI 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?)

    Bob, I think I read a BigSoccer post that said yes, but don’t quote me.

    After further research, I’m guessing no. There’s a former Cal State Dominguez Hills player by this name who last played for them in 2005. My guess would be that it’s THIS Wilmer Lopez who’s playing for the Galaxy Reserves and not the Costa Rican.
