Robbie Keane Is Playing For The Galaxy Now? That's Kind of Awesome

CARSON, Calif. -- Robbie Keane received his visa Wednesday, will arrive in Los Angeles on Thursday, train for the first time with his new Galaxy teammates Friday and be available to play Saturday.
The Irish forward, signed late last week from Tottenham, likely will make his Major League Soccer debut against the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday night at Home Depot Center. His acquisition was finalized Sunday and announced Monday, and it forced L.A. to trade Colombian forward Juan Pablo Angel to the cross-stadium rival Chivas USA to open up a Designated Player slot. Angel's trade, for a third-round selection in next year's supplemental draft, was completed Monday but wasn't announced until Wednesday morning.

 Captain of the Ireland national team and all time leading scorer. Need I say anything more about why I love him? And am I the only one who watches MLS? It's not as bad as you think. Quality of play has gone way the fuck up in the past 5 years and LA is loaded with a mix of veteran and young talent. American players like Landon Donovan, Hedjuk and Omar Gonzalez then you got your European vets in Becks and Keane and add it in with a pair of young brazilians named Leonardo and Juninho. Oh and the goalie is Jamaican so that's nice.




P.S. I forgot who I was talking to at the bar last week but Juan Agudelo is the Red Bulls player I was thinking of. Keep an eye out.
