Despite his terrible numbers from the penalty spot, nobody in LA Galaxy can complain about what Javier Hernández has brought to the team. Although the club has been far – very far – from competing for a title, Chicharito has shown his goalscoring skills, amassing 33 goals in 61 MLS games.
Not bad, right?
LA Galaxy continúa soñando con un boleto a los playoffs de la conferencia oeste de la MLS, luego de vencer 4-1 a Colorado Rapids, en una noche decorada con un par de golazos. Uno de ellos, por supuesto, tuvo el sello de Javier Hernández.
El equipo angelino comenzó como una tromba y antes de los 30 minutos vencía por 2-0 con anotaciones de Gastón Brugman y Raheem Edwards. Este último se lució con una conquista de tintes maradonianos, quebrando cinturas y cruzándola al ángulo ante la pasividad de la defensa rival.
LONDON — Former England soccer captain David Beckham queued for more than 13 hours alongside thousands of other mourners to see Queen Elizabeth lying in state in London on Friday.
The 47-year-old former Manchester United and Real Madrid midfielder and current co-owner of American Major League Soccer team Inter Miami, said he had joined the queue at 2:15 a.m. (0115 GMT).
Carlos Vela hizo subir la temperatura continental la noche de este martes con un golazo sensualote y que selló el 1-1 de LAFC en su visita a Minnesota United.
Las cosas no comenzaron bien para el club angelino, ya que al cierre del primer tiempo Minnesota United era el equipo que dominaba en el marcador, gracias a un cabezazo de Brent Kallman.
#mnufc take the lead!
Trailing 1-0 to a header from Minnesota United's Brent "Leave It All Out There" Kallman on Tuesday night in St. Paul, LAFC saw all its regular season ambition — the Supporters' Shield and a clear path to hosting MLS Cup — slipping away as they stared at a fifth defeat in six matches.
Gareth Bale had offered very little over 62 minutes before getting the hook, while Denis Bouanga was sacrificed at the same time with Steve Cherundolo hoping that Cristian Tello could offer something different.
“Who is Brandon Vazquez?” is a question that United States men’s national team fans could be asking themselves. If you’re a fan of the USMNT who doesn’t pay too much attention to Major League Soccer, then you might not know about the 23-year-old FC Cincinnati forward.
Chicharito is very bad at penalties.
The Mexican had a horrible attempt of a Panenka against Sporting Kansas City last week that cost the LA Galaxy three crucial points in the MLS playoff race.
A week later, he has missed again.
Even after his atrocious Panenka attempt in last week’s draw, Chicharito was still trusted for the kick.
Unfortunately for Galaxy, he failed again.
USMNT center back Miles Robinson was released on $150 bond after he was arrested on Saturday night. The reason for the Miles Robinson arrest has many questioning how this happened.
Robinson, who has been out injured since May, was at PBR Atlanta, a self-proclaimed “Cowboy Bar” at The Battery Atlanta adjacent to Truist Park, home of the Atlanta MLB team. According to police reports, Robinson took a $5 shot off a tray, drank it and then refused to pay for it.
You’d be hard-pressed to find a match with as much edge-of-your-seat action as Toronto FC and CF Montréal provided in just the first half Sunday. Two early goals in two minutes from Toronto set the tone for the match before Montréal followed with two goals of its own in two minutes. A Kai Kamara goal just before halftime completed the comeback, and Alistair Johnston sealed the 4-3 win before the hour mark.
We all saw it: Chicharito Hernández's last effort from the penalty spot was genuinely embarrassing. He had the chance to secure three points for the LA Galaxy in a very tight race for the playoffs Sunday, but instead, he decided to perform a poor, sad Panenka against SKC seconds before the final whistle.
