Chicharito & Efrain Alvarez @ L.A. Laxatives

Can we merge them?

Dang bruh totally forgot jona was at galaxy lul

 

Efra Álvarez too.

 

I understand that, but for the most part people have brushed off Hernandez for lacking certain qualities a complete striker has. While Jimenez isn't RVP or Suarez, he fits the mold of those world class strikers. I could say Jimenez is the best Mexican player currently whereas I was never sure Hernandez was the best at any point outside of maybe 2010.

 

Thanks for the merger

 

Hope he enjoys his retirement, he deserves it!!! Now if he could just shut the hell up already. No secret my contempt for liga MX, but this guy saying they should be even more fluff over substance (i.e. marketing driven) makes me cringe.

I mean, he's not wrong.

He's talking specifically about how LigaMX markets itself (or doesn't) internationally.

Their social media game alone does not compare to what MLS has been doing.

As far as how much MLS has grown and how close it is to LigaMX, well, they're two different business models but the results on the field speak for themselves.

At the end of the day, the Galaxy is paying him a ton of money and they courted him for a number of reasons. Not sure what anyone would expect him to say.

MLS does have more international exposure mainly because of the big name signings - Beckham, Zlatan, Rooney, Gerard, David Villa, etc.

That doesn’t make it a better league though. Only that it has more of a following because of all the big name players going there to retire

 

not sure if these has been posted....MLS saying it's not a retirement league but players know the truth

El Chicharito @CH14_ más orgánico... Le duele y mucho dejar la alta competencia del fútbol europeo tras 10 años y sabe que puede ser el principio del fin de su carrera.

According to a club spokesman, in the days since Chicharito signed, the LA Galaxy has sold roughly twice as many season tickets as they did in the comparable time-frame after they announced Zlatan. Huge impact.https://t.co/4B5rEgsX6K

AEG ain’t playing around putting him next to Kobe and Gigi’s seats. The new golden boy.

 

The "soccer" league in the US is only known because it is considered a retirement league. MLS supporters will argue left and right but look the most recent CH14. Dude was in tears because in his words "it is the beginning of the end of my career". Look at Ibra, had no qualms about calling the MLS what it was. Beckham, Rooney,Giovinco, etc. etc.. all at the "end" of their careers.

 

Giovinco had a prime?

¡Debutó como CAPITÁN! 🇲🇽😍⚽️🇺🇸
.
El Chicharito tuvo sus primeros minutos con el Galaxy. Arrancó el duelo con el gafete de capitán, el año pasado ese gafete le pertenecía a Zlatan 👏🇸🇪.

Damn...

 

And that’s the end of his career... Oh well, I was rooting for the kid, but I don’t think he’ll amount to much after all.

 

Well, let's hope he can bounce back.

 

Are there any reports on what the actual injury is?
