I've been thinking about this today and from reading all these articles about Robbie, he really seems committed to the the Galaxy not like his famous I grew idolizing <insert team here> mantra. I just get the vibe that he relishes being the focal point of the team be it Captain or the first person that the media goes to for a quote and I'm sure he's never got the attention he's gotten celebrity wise as he's gotten here with his cousin Morrissey or at Hollywood and Sporting events he has attended. I may be a bit bias since Robbie represents my Irish Heritage that I embrace with all my Heart.
Over the weekend I heard Robbie interviewed about becoming the team captain. And this thought occurred to me: Do you think he might even be more effective if he learned to speak english?
Well, I presume he already communicates to the rest of the team via sign language. At least I'm pretty sure I saw him giving Magee the sign to "do the airplane" during the game and there's no other reasonable explanation for what he does with his hands and arms during the games.

Keane may find the change in weather a little harder to come to terms with over the next few days than the shift in time zones

“Keane is a great player,” the Swede said. “He’s had a great career and is over in America now, doing good there. He is a dangerous striker, as he showed in the Premier League, and a great player to watch." - Zlatan Ibrahimovic regarding Robbie Keane(March 21, 2013) Source
Short-handed Galaxy could lose Robbie Keane as well Galaxy forward Robbie Keane finished fourth in the league in scoring with 16 goals before making five more in the playoffs last season. (Ted S. Warren / Associated Press) By Kevin Baxter March 24, 2013, 3:30 p.m. The Galaxy began the season without Landon Donovan and now they may be without their other designated player, Robbie Keane, after Keane was ruled out of Ireland's World Cup qualifier with Austria on Tuesday with a calf injury. "A scan ... confirmed that Robbie is suffering from calf strain after Friday's game with Sweden," the Football Association of Ireland said in a statement. Keane, the Irish captain, came out of the 1-1 draw with Sweden in the 74th minute, It's uncertain how long Keane could be out, but his absence for even one game would be felt by the Galaxy. Donovan, who has been in self-exile from soccer since December, is expected to rejoin the Galaxy in training this week, but he probably will need a month or more to regain the fitness needed to play a game. And that's time the Galaxy doesn't have. Major League Soccer's defending champions play Saturday in Toronto before beginning their two-game CONCACAF Champions League series with Mexico's Monterrey, the two-time defending CCL champion, on April 3. That game is part of a streak that will feature the team playing six times in 29 days. The absence of both Keane and Donovan up front probably will cause a shuffle of the Galaxy lineup, with Sean Franklin possibly moving from the back line to the midfield while teenagers Jose Villarreal and Jack McBean will see more playing time at forward.
