“The biggest MLS story of the off-season hit Los Angeles on Thursday” – Really? Yawn.
Pretty excited he’s staying, and I love the Galaxy jersey. 2nd that for one of my favorite jerseys in MLS. Then again, I don’t think the new Fire jersey is bad either, so I must have bad taste.
I hated it at first, but the more I look at it the more I love it. Probably my favorite jersey in MLS
…I really love LA’s new jersey.

I think it’s quite fair to say he’s helped change the cultural of professional soccer in our country.
