native of England, he began writing about soccer in
the mid-1980s and in 2000 permanently exchanged a seat
in the stands for one in
the press box. He lives six miles from Carson's Home
Depot Center, home of the Los Angeles Galaxy, Chivas
USA and the training headquarters for U.S. Soccer.

For today's column I looked at the imploding Chivas USA defense and the potential consequences for their season.
Meanwhile, David Beckham and the Galaxy arrived in Edmonton Monday for tonight's extraneous game against the Whitecaps where more than 30,000 tickets have been sold.
Longtime injury victim Ante Jazic may return to action tonight for the Galaxy.
Landon Donovan will apparently be absent though, while Canadians are lamenting Beckham's likely non-appearance at the game against FC Toronto at month's end.
Incidentally, the game is televised beginning at 6 p.m. locally on Channel 22.
