Not sure I understand why Porter felt the need to knock Zardes on the way out of Columbus. He's probably not wrong, but it all seems so gratuitous. Porter on Zardes. First Caleb parked the bus, then he nudged Gyasi under its wheels. #Crew96 pic.twitter.com/02IGj9t3LW— Darby Schaaf (@tokenliberal) April 28, 2022
Ibra "Zlatan Ibrahimovic told ESPN he is the best player ever to feature in Major League Soccer, having spent two years at the LA Galaxy." https://www.espn.com/soccer/la-gala...brahimovic-i-am-best-player-in-history-of-mls It’s really hard to argue. We basically had a one-person team for two years and the only post-season appearance since the end of the golden era. I don’t think any other "big name" ever carried a team as much as Ibra carried LA.
Vanney would refuse to play Chicha along with Ibra citing they both play the same position and Javier would be sitting on the bench waiting to be fed his weekly allowance of garbage minutes starting only on Open Cup matches and when we play on turf.
Probably not anywhere you would think. Zlatan is now 40 and showing his age. He has been injured a lot the last 2 years and his productivity is way down. He has 1 goal in the 9 games and 256 minutes he has played in this calendar year. He has missed 6 games because of injuries.
I doubt that there is an adjustment factor anything like 5 for old, frequently injured players. Higuain didn't get a bump at all for Inter Miami. Costa hasn't shown any signs of a bump for the Galaxy. Nor has Pato for Orlando.
If Zlatan wants to come back on a 96k minimum contract to prove he's still the best, I won't say no....

Jose Villarreal signs with a USL League 1 squad. I didn't even know he was still playing. Looking to add another trophy to the collection 🏆🏆Two-time MLS Cup champion @jayy_villa has signed with @fuego_futbol!#DaleFuego // #WeAreOnehttps://t.co/88KUSsi2ua— USL League One (@USLLeagueOne) July 1, 2022
no offense to Jose and good for him that he has been able to carve out a modest career, however he is a reminder to me on how awful the Galaxy are in producing quality talent, it seemed like Jose was destined for a solid MLS career and it become more of a solid lower league career He was signed at 17 and played a fair amount of games for the Galaxy but was never able to take it to the next level considering he was surrounded by top tier talent at the time he should have been able to reach a higher level and now that I think about it, it kind of feels like Alvarez is headed towards that same trajectory as Jose, which is not a bad thing for Alvarez but not a good thing for the Galaxy
Wonder if our performance clause from the trade includes a sell-on within the league? Big trade: The New England Revolution are sending Sebastian Lletget to FC Dallas for $600k in allocation money, sources tell me and @PaulTenorio.Lletget was acquired by Revs from LA this winter for min. of $500k in GAM, rising up to $1.3 million based on performance. pic.twitter.com/SlE5MapSAI— Sam Stejskal (@samstejskal) August 3, 2022
Not really alumni news, but this is the most Landon quote ever. On this day in 2013, LA Galaxy beat Juventus 3-1 at Dodger Stadium, in front of 40,681 fans. Goals coming from @Omar4Gonzalez, @landondonovan and Robbie Keane. “For me personally, it is quite the dream. I grew up a Dodgers fan,” - Donovan #LAGalaxy pic.twitter.com/eTU7DlYJpG— Galaxy History (@GalaxyHistory) August 3, 2022
Also not really Alumni News, except I am sort of an Alumnus. A personal note. I am facing surgery later this year. My first meeting with my surgeon will be next week. Should I be worried? My surgeon's name is Daniel Chivas.
best wishes to you The Cadaver, I hope the surgery goes well and you have a quick recovery. Check the doctors mother's maiden name if its USA you may be in trouble if its Regal, you should be in great shape. all the best!!
