Read this book folks. Do it now! Seriously though, It's a great read, even for those who are not exclusively Galaxy fans (like moi). I have learned so much about the relatively small world of pro footballers... I now fully appreciate these guys coming out of that tunnel to possibly hostile fans week in and week out for an often outrageously small salary. Most have to get second jobs. Alan Gordon, who as recently as a month ago I was ready to hang in effigie, has totally won me over with his genuine, cool-guy demeanor that I read about in this book. Dude coached girls soccer for like 3 years on the side to pay his rent! Gee, what I wouldn't give to have played for Alan Gordon... he is so cute!!
I'll post more goodies about the book later. Before I go, here's a little nightcap: It looks as though Sacha "Hollywood" Kljestan is back folks, and he's back with a vengeance. That should go for Chivas USA as well. Disregarding the potentially dangerous suspension of rock solid center back Carey Talley, Chivas looks to be heading straight for a playoff spot ^_^
