Thursday Galaxy Gameday & More
Of Cobi, Angel and Beck's
Galaxy great Cobi Jones plays his final home game tonight, likely MLS MVP Juan Pablo Angel plays his first MLS game against the Galaxy at Home Depot Center and there could be an appearance by David Beckham.Beat writer Billy Witz has a Cobi profile and explains the substitution rule and how it relates to Beckham for soccer illiterates.
Kick off is at 8 p.m. on ESPN2 and I'll blog as usual.
Given the quality of the designated players on the field tonight, (and no, I'm not going to explain what that means) MLS has just released a timely YouTube clip of the pricey imports' season highlights:
U.S. Wins & Mexico Loses

Nick Green, your article on Cobi Jones this morning was absolutely phenomenal. I'm praying for that kind of physical space for soccer covarage on a daily basis. Thanks, Mike.
Mike, thanks, but kudos should go to Galaxy beat writer Billy Witz-Nick (and it was a great read).
Sorry Nick Green, it was Billy Witz article this morning on Cobi that I thought was awesome. My apologies to Billy for my mix up!, Michael
