04/20/12
When Cosmopolitan Magazine did a list of “Hot Soccer Players We Can’t Resist” we asked you where they got it right and where they got it (terribly) wrong. Let’s round out our countdown of the players on their list that you agreed with the most:

New Hair, New Flair: LA Galaxy 3 – 1 Portland Timbers
04/16/12
Los Angeles Galaxy racked up their second win of the season last evening in a come-from-behind victory over the visiting Portland Timbers off of strong performances from its core veterans – and a central defender three days new to the team.
Game summary and match impressions after the jump.
Beckham: Well, at Least He’s a Pretty Face Who Can Sell Stuff.

Strong Bad is clearly a tougher coach than Bruce Arena.
Because Strong Bad knows that you only get the team real fruit smoothies if they win the game.
And the LA Galaxy hasn’t been winning the game. Yet David Beckham gets real fruit smoothies.
All joking aside, it does have people wondering: with a new two-year deal in place, is Becks’ focus more on underwear design and schilling for Pepsi and Burger King than winning games for the Galaxy?
Whether that’s the case or not, this silly commercial coming out right after the Galaxy’s performance Saturday night against the Revolution along with rumored Beckham drama at the game doesn’t make for a great narrative.

Galaxy Re-Acquire Juninho, Form Voltron, Defend Universe?

in Los Angeles Galaxy
The offseason loss of creative midfielder Juninho was supposed to be a stake in the heart of LA Galaxy’s hopes of an MLS Cup repeat. The 23-year-old Brazilian’s loan was not extended by his parent club, Sao Paulo, as they wished to bring his maturing talents back home, going so far as to lock him in to a new 3-year contract.
Galaxy began seeking out and acquiring several hopeful replacements, most promising amongst them fellow Brazilian Marcelo Sarvas and former Union man Kyle Nakazawa.
Additionally, after a series of below-the-radar moves, Los Angeles announced over the weekend that they had… re-acquired Juninho on loan. The best man to fill a set of empty shoes is the same man who once wore them, it turns out, and Galaxy have gone from finding an acceptable replacement to having a set of midfield options unrivaled in the league.
And when you add in the return of David Beckham and last week’s re-acquisition of former Galaxy striker and Golden Boot finalist Edson Buddle, you have to ask yourself: Is this the official start of the most potent MLS strike force… ever?
