THE BOTTOM LINE The Road Ahead For Los Angeles. With Los Angeles Galaxy out of the CONCACAF Champions League tournament for this spell, there is the question of what should the team focus on next? There is a very dynamic way to answer it. Should they focus on the short term or long term? There’s a very simple answer. They should focus long term. Bruce Arena knows the trouble spots for the team since he has had to deal with them and it cost the team a chance to move on in CCL play. If [..] > read more

AROUND MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER Several sports outlets have started putting up previews on their sites. I did happen to read one on Fox Sports (free plug) about my MLS team, the Los Angeles Galaxy. I had to agree with it. A team such as LA doing what they did and haven’t come apart after the MLS Cup last November is amazing.

THE BOTTOM LINE Since my last post I’ve been thinking of what the next blog would contain. What better way to really kick off the season (which is less than two weeks away) than talking about the Faces of Major League Soccer. When I say faces I specifically mean the men you think about when you think of a specific team. Not every team has one. That’s something that very unique to America.

Juninho whom was on loan to LA last season will be returning to the club for yet another loan spell.

AROUND MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER Announced Monday, LA Galaxy midfielder, Chris Birchall announced via Twitter that he would not be returning to Los Angeles in 2012. This comes as a shock to most as he was an integral part of the team last season but with the roster at a league high of 34 players a cut helps out the team (as much as losing a quality player hurts). Last week the rumors were swirling that former LA Galaxy striker Edson Buddle would be making his return to the club. The LA Galaxy b [..] > read more

Events this week have really stirred the pot as far as violence and its impact in sports. This past week we saw something pretty much unheard of in sports. We saw a riot with police not able to gain any control. It was surreal to hear about. In the wake of the fiasco (putting it lightly) in Egypt that saw at least 75 dead and over 1000 injured, the debate has been sparked about soccer being full of violent fans. This is very much a double-edged sword. Yes, some fans can be violent and have [..] > read more
