Now - that is odd. Would not have figured on that. Hope that mojo holds at Dragon Stadium. Eduardo Hurtado?? El Tanque if I remember correctly.
these Friday statistic-filled columns are among the most boring pieces of soccer writing I have ever seen.
Clint Mathis is definitely one. He'd already played in 50 games each by the end of 2002. http://www.mlsnet.com/bios/clint_mathis.html Hurtado played in 50 regular season games with LA, plus 7 playoff games, and 27 metros games in 1998 and 28 more in 1999. http://www.mlsnet.com/bios/eduardo_hurtado.html Bizzarrely, Steve Jolley has also appeared in more than 50 regular season games for both LA and Metros: http://www.mlsnet.com/bios/steve_jolley.html Hm, I bet they forgot about Hurtado, and have only been looking at current players. As near as I can tell, the next closest player would be Alexi Lalas, who played about 28 games for Metros, then got sent to KC before retiring and unretiring to sign with LA.
It's a trick question. Hurtado is not a valid answer, because the question says "more than 50" and Hurtado played exactly 50 for the Galaxy. Mathis: 67 Galaxy, 54 MetroStars Jolley: 66 Galaxy, 90 MetroStars Hurtado: 50 Galaxy, 55 MetroStars
Yeah, but the question also doesn't specify regular season games, so I would count the playoff games for Hurtado. Either way, it's just making excuses for people who should need them
I don't follow these stat-based articles as much as those from Mr. Palace, speaking of whom does not appear to have posted anything this week (IIRC, his articles come out Thursdays)....Is he on a break? what's going on?
forgot that "El Tanque" played for the Metrostars. Remember back when he was the most feared forward in MLS? I remember back in 96 and 97, him and Uche Okafor having some epic battles. Ah, those were the days. What ever happened to Alan Prampin, anyway?
