Manchester United Blows Out Galaxy By 7

((HT: beINSport))

When you looked at the Starting XI in the Los Angeles Galaxy-Manchester United, there was the prevailing opinion that the Galaxy were more concerned about the MLS regular season than the nearly 86,000 people watching the game at the Rose Bowl were.

ManU put up 7 on a non-starting side with a starting side of their own that included Welbeck, Rooney, Mata, Valencia et al.

It was the worst defeat Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena had as boss...


Louis van Gaal had a good debut as manager, but it's all about what you take from it.

Marcelo Sarvas had the common thought of the Galaxy players:

"I feel embarrassed. I can’t talk about the others, but I feel like that. Doesn't matter who you're playing, I think this is too much -- seven -- and here in Los Angeles. I think we could do much better."

Mike Magee's Day Off

The HQ has an affinity for "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"

So, Major League Soccer decided to have some fun with the movie and riff involving reigning MVP Mike Magee of the Chicago Fire. The main characters include Hope Solo and Sydney Leroux.

Here's the end result- see if you can nail all the cameos...

ICYMI: Robbie Rogers To Galaxy

After retiring thinking that his being an openly gay athlete would detract from his sport, team, and teammates Robbie Rogers has unretired. 

The LA Galaxy have traded for his rights from the Chicago Fire.

Rogers didn't play in 2012 and has 11 goals scored during a 5-year run with the Columbus Crew. Admittedly, we aren't 100% sure how the Fire ended up with his rights.

Rogers also has time spent with the U.S National team and is considered one of the best players in the U.S. As for the gay athlete part, he's hoping that won't be a "label". Rather, he just wants to be known as a good soccer player.

Said Galaxy coach Bruce Arena:  "We've been searching for the last year or two for a player that has the skills to be a flank player, play wide and add a little speed to our club, take on players and a good crosser off the ball with both of his feet," Arena said. "He offers qualities that we've been looking for, so we're hopeful that in time, Robbie will demonstrate the kind of qualities that he has previously in this league."

Let's hope that's how Rogers is looked at rather than being a spectacle because he's gay.
