Friday Football
Briefly:
*Could Inter Milan also play in Carson this fall? Don't bet on it.
*The U.S. Under-20 Men's Team plays Trinidad & Tobago tonight, but Chivas USA's Jorge Flores will not be there after getting a late red in his first start for the team against El Salvador. Here's what he had to say after his ejection.
*Thanks to all who participated in the Beckham poll. I'd say the results were fairly conclusive. Will Beckham get booed when he returns?
*Updated - Here's the Galaxy travel roster from the club's official blog for the game Saturday in Arizona against the Chicago Fire:
Goalkeepers: Donovan Ricketts and Josh Saunders
Defenders: A.J. DeLaGarza, Sean Franklin, Dan Gargan, Omar Gonzalez, Yohance Marshall, Tony Sanneh and Julian Valentin.
Midfielders: Chris Klein, Dema Kovalenko, Kyle Patterson and Josh Tudela.
Forwards: Tristan Bowen, Landon Donovan, Alan Gordon, Bryan Jordan, Jovan Kirovski and Mike Magee.
That means that Edson Buddle, Todd Dunivant, Leonard Griffin, Eddie Lewis, Stefani Miglioranzi and Israel Sesay remain behind in Los Angeles.
