Thursday Quick Kicks
Briefly:
*Galaxy squad player Leonard Griffin goes under the knife today in Munich for a hernia operation. Goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts is still not in full training. And those of you with fantasy football teams should know Rolling Hills Estates' Robbie Rogers of the Columbus Crew is not expected to play Saturday so he can rest a hamstring issue.
*For what it's worth English tabloid the Daily Mail is the latest media outlet to speculate about Mexican Coach Sven Goran Eriksson and his job security (or lack thereof).
*Chivas USA fan group the Union Ultras host a viewing party for the club's game in Dallas Sunday in West Covina.
*And the Croatian community in San Pedro is gearing up for its third annual Small Goals Tournament set for May 23 to coincide with Croatian Independence Day.
