Hitchhikers Guide to the L.A. Galaxy





It’s Friday! Woot woot! Even better, it’s the Friday before The Galaxy take on Real Madrid at the Rose Bowl. I’m really excited; it’s been a busy week in the world of Soccer so let’s get right to the tweets.


@Ryan_Weiss: “Sad to see an era come to an end” RT @LAGalaxy “legend Clint Mathis will retire after Saturdays match against @RealMadrid http://bit.ly/bExGvT

Clint Mathis is set to retire after Saturday’s match against @RealMadrid, a perfect game to say goodbye. No disrespect to the HDC, but the Rose Bowl full of fans is a great way to say goodbye. I’m hoping Mathis finds the net Saturday and puts an exclamation point at the end of his career. Good luck Clint!!! Go get yours.

@Edge4L: My dad been telling me about this been all over Spanish Radio RT @mlsrumors Landon Donovan to CF Monterrey?

I’m not sure what’s funnier about this tweet, the fact the rumor only lasted about 3 hours or that black strip on @Edge4L’s avatar that’s been plaguing people on twitter. This rumor came straight from CF Monterrey by publicly expressing an interest in Donovan on their website, but that’s about as far as it went. This might become more realistic in the offseason, but seems unlikely.

@GarMar88: Although #LAGalaxy won't advance in #CCL, we won 2-1.We put an end to our budding losing streak but we still have to get it together. :/

Bittersweet was the feeling most Galaxy fans felt after Wednesday’s win over The Islanders. Sure, we played a great game, but being eliminated from the CCL fotruly sucks. At least we got a win on the road, which makes me feel a little better. Hopefully we can focus on the MLS Cup now and get back on track.

@DamianCalhoun: “Ronaldinho to the Galaxy rumors are just like Bebe's kids...they don't die, they multiply. #robinharris #mls”

Hahaha, couldn’t be any truer. The Ronaldinho rumor has somehow crawled out of the dirt it was buried in to come back to life once more. Apparently the Galaxy have put a new offer on the table for 8mil and reports are coming out of Italy stating that AC Milan are on the brink of releasing the Brazilian. I’m not sure if its true, but this time around it has more credibility and a different feel to it. If you want to read up on it a little more check out yesterday’s article.

@ChrisV323: Imagine the @LAGalaxy in The Final vs New York.. Donovan, Beckham, Buddle, And Ronaldinho vs a wack team of Henry, Marquez, And Angel.GO LA

Lol…

@GrantWahl: Alan Gordon--longest-tenured LA Galaxy player, the Shane Smeltz of MLS--traded to Chivas USA for allocation money.

Alan, Alan, Alan…..I promised myself I wouldn’t say anything negative about you so I won’t. Let’s just leave it at that. Good luck with the goats and thanks for your years with the Galaxy.

@LAGalaxy: Gonzalez (@omar_gonz) joins @EdsonBuddle & @landondonovan on #USMNT roster for 8/10 match vs Brazil: http://bit.ly/9nsg2x

Finally, Omar gets the call up to the USMNT. He’s been called up to camp before, but has never played a minute. Not sure if he will get to see some action against Brazil, but I would love it if he did. This kid is a beast in the box and can hold his own with most. This is a great opportunity for the USMNT to start exploring new possibilities, but with most of the WC roster returning that won’t be achieved. Let’s hope Buddle and Gonzalez see some major minutes.

That’s it for this Friday’s Hitchhiker’s guide to the Galaxy. See everyone tomorrow, thanks for reading. GO GALAXY!!! @Trunksra
