Saturday Galaxy Gameday
Galaxy beat writer Scott Wolf gave a few tidbits of today's story in blog posts Friday and here we learn just how happy Coach Ruud Gullit is to punt Abel Xavier. So are we, Ruud, so are we.
A massive crowd is expected in New York for David Beckham, sorry, today's game (3:30 p.m. live on Fox Soccer Channel). Wonder how many of them will care about how he is deployed?
Oh, and you're aware Becks just loves L.A., right?.
Rumor of the Day: Has the Galaxy signed Newcastle United's former stylish midfielder Nolberto Solano? (Link swiped from the LA Riot Squad Web site).
