CARSON, Calif. -- With a goal and two assists from Landon Donovan, the Los Angeles Galaxy blitzed Chivas USA early on their way to a 3-1 victory in the first Super Clasico of 2007 on Saturday night at The Home Depot Center.

Donovan became the 11th player in MLS history to reach 50 goals and 50 assists in his career, scoring his first and setting up one as the Galaxy hit for two goals in the opening 17 minutes. Kevin Harmse scored his first MLS goal, which proved to be the game winner, and Cobi Jones added a late insurance goal, answering the lone Chivas USA goal from Claudio Suarez.

The Galaxy dominated possession right out of the gate, completely controlling the game for the opening 10 minutes. Chivas USA barely made it out of their half in that time frame, and in the eighth minute, the early pressure paid off for Los Angeles, the home side on the night.

Kyle Martino sent a cross into the area from the left flank. As Chivas 'keeper Brad Guzan came off his line to collect the ball, Suarez stepped in front to head it clear. The mix-up proved to be deadly as Suarez nodded the ball right into the path of Donovan, who made no mistake with a gaping net in front of him.

The early goal seemed to wake up the Chivas attack, which put together a flurry of chances in front of the Galaxy goal just minutes later. It started with a bouncing ball in the Galaxy penalty area, which Alex Zotinca tracked down at the back post and fired from point-blank range. But Ante Jazic was there to deflect the ball over the crossbar for a corner kick.

Chivas played a short corner on the ensuing free kick, and worked the ball to the top of the penalty area where Amado Guevara was waiting. The Honduras international blasted a wicked shot to the near post, forcing a Joe Cannon to punch the ball wide for another corner.

That corner kick was sent into the area where it found the head of Zotinca. Zotinca got off a powerful header earmarked for the back of the net but for yet another save from Cannon.

But the Galaxy raced back to the other end, and the second goal was soon to follow. Harmse, making his first MLS start, worked a clever one-two with Donovan. Harmse's speed and Donovan's perfectly weighted pass allowed the Canadian international to slip in behind the Chivas defense, and in alone on Guzan, Harmse tucked a low shot in at the near post to double the Galaxy advantage.

The Galaxy continued to press, and nearly got a third goal in the 22nd minute. Chris Albright worked his way forward from his right back spot to join the attack. Albright sent a ball in along the turf to the penalty spot where rookie Robbie Findley met the cross, but slipped as he shot the ball, sending his effort straight at Guzan.

Chivas USA's last good chance of the half came a few minutes later. Harmse found himself defending inside his own 18 and had a clearing attempt broken up. The ball wound up on the foot of Jonathan Bornstein, whose shot from 20 years skipped just past the upright.

Los Angeles came out of the dressing room with the two-goal lead, but weren't looking to pack it in and defend. The second half opened up with both sides going end-to-end.

In the 53rd minute Maykel Galindo was the beneficiary of an advantage call, and he got off a shot from the top of the restraining arc. Galindo got plenty of power on his effort, forcing a diving save from Cannon. Galindo got to his own rebound but could manage only a weak follow-up effort that Cannon easily collected.

Chivas pulled a goal back in the 63rd minute. From a corner kick, the ball pinged around the area where Francisco Mendoza headed the ball across the goalmouth to Razov, who banged a header off the upright. Los Angeles failed to clear, and Suarez made up for his earlier blunder, tucking the ball into the side netting after Jesse Marsch fired it goalward.

Los Angeles tried to respond quickly, and Donovan won a free kick on the right flank. He then curled in a dangerous ball to the edge of the six that handcuffed the Chivas defense. Nate Jaqua pounced on the loose ball for the Galaxy, but his shot from was deflected out for a corner.

Chivas nearly equalized in the 74th minute. Razov picked out substitute Laurent Merlin with a ball over the Galaxy back line and the Frenchman hit a first time volley, but his shot went straight into the arms of Cannon.

Four minutes later the Galaxy would retake their two-goal lead from a quick counterattack. Albright jarred the ball loose in midfield, and Donovan picked up the loose ball and it was off to the races. He hurdled a tackle by Lawson Vaughn, then picked out a streaking Jones with a nice through pass along the ground. Jones took a touch then buried a shot past Guzan.

Jones tried to repay the favor moments later on another counterattack. This time Jones was the recipient of a great pass over the top of the Chivas defense, and raced in on goal. He peeked up and saw Donovan making a run to the near post, but the cross was just a bit too close to Guzan who plucked the ball out of the air.

That sealed the win for the Galaxy, who couldn't have picked a better opponent against whom to end their scoring drought. The Galaxy have now defeated their in-stadium rivals eight times in 10 games in all competitions.

Subject: Overview of new-for-2007 MLS Designated Player Rule

cahyn

Offline

The Designated Player Rule, also nicknamed "the Beckham Rule", is the name used for a rule change in the salary cap regulations of Major League Soccer, implemented for the first time for the 2007 season.

The rule allows each of the MLS franchises to sign one player that would be considered outside of the teams' salary cap, allowing U.S. and Canadian teams to compete for star players in the international soccer market. For each such designated player, $400,000 would be initially charged to the salary cap, with any remaining salary toward the player being imposed on the individual owner.

There will initially be one designated player slot available to each team in the league. A team can trade their designated player slot; however, no team can have more than two. If a team uses both of their slots, $325,000 will be counted towards the salary cap for the second player. The rule will apply for three years, until the end of the 2009 MLS season, when its future will be reviewed.

It is informally named after soccer star David Beckham, in anticipation of MLS teams signing lucrative deals with internationally recognized players of Beckham's caliber. As it turned out, Beckham was indeed the first player to be signed under this rule, signing a lucrative contract with the Los Angeles Galaxy for $50 million in direct salary and a possibility of over $250 million total for five years. The second player signed under this rule was an American playing in the EPL, the 2002 and 2006 World Cup USMNT captain Claudio Reyna, who will come over the pond from Manchester City to join New York Red Bulls.

TODAY! USMNT hosts MEXICO: Their 1st matchup since World Cup Qualifier (Sept.2005)

Live simulcast on ESPN 2 and Univision, 6 pm Pacific Time from Glendale, AZ

Rivalry stats below by http://www.ussoccer.com (video, podcasts, latest there!)

The USA is 6-0-1 in seven home games against Mexico this decade, outscoring their rival 11-0.

The USA�s current 7-game unbeaten streak at home against Mexico is NOT the longest

in team history. From Oct. 3, 1976 to April 20, 1997, the United States went eight games without a loss against Mexico (4-0-4, 14 GF, 6 GA).

Mexico has not scored a goal in the United States in 663 minutes (which is a span of eight games and seven consecutive shutouts).

Since 1990, the U.S. is 10-7-7 in 24 games against Mexico, which includes a dominating 9-3-5 record in the United States (and a 1-0-1 record in neutral venues).

Bruce Arena lost his first two games against Mexico back in 1999, including a 1-0 overtime thriller in Mexico City in the semifinals of the FIFA Confederations Cup. The two previous U.S. coaches (Bora Milutinovic in 1991 and Steve Sampson in 1995) each won their first games against Mexico. New USMNT coach Bob Bradley now heads up his 2nd match.

The USA won the first ever match between the two nations in 1934, a one-game World Cup qualifier in Italy to decide who would represent CONCACAF in the '34 World Cup.

The 2007 season will conclude on Sunday, Nov. 18 with MLS Cup 2007, live on ABC from RFK Stadium in Washington D.C. at noon ET.

The 2007 MLS season will feature the most comprehensive national television schedule in League history, with a total of 113 live matches.

MLS action returns to the Univision family of networks in 2007 with 25 Sunday broadcasts, 22 on TeleFutura and three on Galavisi�n during the regular season. Viewers will note that the Sunday lineup focuses on the MLS teams from the largest Hispanic markets in the United States. Playoff games that will air on the Univision networks will be announced at a later date.

Fox Soccer Channel will broadcast 28 regular season games, each one in a three-hour programming window entitled "MLS Saturday on FSC."

With Toronto FC joining the Eastern Conference as the first MLS team based outside the United States, each MLS team will play two games against the other 12 teams, one home, one away, accounting for 24 games of the season. The remaining six games are played against intra-conference foes.

Subject: SD-MLS expansion update, RED BULLS and DYNAMO, new team names for '06

sdsoc

Offline

News from San Diego MLS Project http://sandiegomlsproject.com March 15th 2006.

A full update on the MLS expansion and San Diego's standing follows, but first here are notes on the latest team names for Major League Soccer's new season, which begins two weeks from this coming Saturday, April 1st (ABC, ESPN-2, FSW, FSC).

HOUSTON DYNAMO - Only weeks after the Houston franchise was officially dubbed "Houston 1836" (after year of city's founding), chosen by fans' online votes, team management made an internal decision to change the moniker to DYNAMO.

This was due to the local Houston controversy, which never subsided, over the dual historical significance of that year among Latinos and Mexican nationals. 1836 was also the year of the Alamo and other battles which resulted in independence FROM Mexico (further resulting in founding of cities like Houston). SO MANY locals of Mexican descent in Houston complained that the team finally relented and renamed.

RED BULL NEW YORK - With the players themselves affectionately dubbed "the

New York Red Bulls", the official team name comes from last week's purchase of the MetroStars by the Austrian beverage makers. This is the team who has selected Poway HS alum and 2006 Number One pick (in the MLS SuperDraft) Marvell Wynne.

New York is included in the name for the first time officially since the 2000 season (they had been called NY/NJ MetroStars), though the team will continue to play in New Jersey for the time being at the MetroStars former home, Giants Stadium. The team's new stadium, which will be co-financed by partners including Red Bull, with AEG (who co-built STAPLES Center and HOME DEPOT Center), will also stand

in New Jersey, but the team's official name will remain RED BULL NEW YORK.

Expansion News Update:

The city of Toronto, Ontario, with NHL Maple Leafs owners as business partners, will build a new soccer-specific stadium complex there, and will host the first-ever MLS franchise in Canada. They were already named as the league's 13th team back in November 2005. A 14th team will join them for the 12th MLS season in 2007.

San Jose CA will have stadium issues to work out, but assuming they can do that soon, they could field a new branded Earthquakes team in 2007 or 2008. Other cities on the fast track to MLS franchises are Philadelphia PA (the only metro area larger than San Diego still without a team), Atlanta GA, Tulsa OK, and the two current frontrunners to be included in teams 14-16, Milwaukee WI and Cleveland OH. Milwaukee has the most popular MISL team this season, and a successful outdoor version of the Wave, too. Cleveland would like to have the third MLS in-state rivalry, competing with Columbus Crew (club team of USMNT defender, Cardiff's Frankie Hejduk). Both of those city governments are likely to share in their MLS plans.

San Diego will need to concentrate on vying for the 17th or 18th spots, and this is why our public Project Phase, as well as our website (which debuted on MLS Cup Championship day 16 weeks ago), was dubbed Target:2010. While this IS realistic, it is by no means assured that we'd have a team in place by then, even in the best of circumstances. We are in the process of setting up our first official public meetings and workshops, and expect to meet with several local city and tribal councils through this spring, summer, and beyond. We are happy to see that so many numerous localities have expressed initial interest in hosting our region's MLS team, so we have full confidence that San Diego WILL have their own MLS franchise.. and soon.

We invite all of you to get involved and support our common cause in any way.

Thank you for all of you interest and support shown during the first 15 weeks of our website's existence: Numbers of visitors have far surpassed our expectations.

We DO aim high: Now we know there are SO MANY MORE of you out there with

the same desire, so we know the community together WILL reach OUR GOAL !

For Immediate Release http://sandiegomlsproject.com March 9th 2006.

RED BULL PURCHASES METROSTARS AND
INVESTS IN SOCCER-SPECIFIC STADIUM

World's Leading Energy Drink Re-brands Team Red Bull New York

NEW YORK (Thursday, March 9, 2006) - Red Bull Company Limited, the Austrian company that produces the world's leading energy drink, today finalized an agreement to purchase the MetroStars of Major League Soccer and partner with AEG on the construction of the team's soccer-specific stadium in Harrison, New Jersey. With the purchase, the team will be re-branded as "Red Bull New York", including a new logo, uniforms and team colors to take effect immediately.

Red Bull's agreement with AEG, the team's former investor-operator, was approved by the MLS Board of Governors today, and includes the two companies joining together to invest in the custom-built stadium for the team in Harrison. As part of the agreement, Red Bull also purchased naming rights to the soccer-specific stadium. Red Bull will have a 50 percent ownership stake in the facility, and AEG will remain responsible for constructing, managing and booking the venue.

"The addition of Red Bull into our group of owners is a landmark moment for Major League Soccer and for all Tri-State area soccer fans," MLS Commissioner Don Garber said. "Red Bull founder Dietrich Mateschitz brings international credibility and proven, innovative marketing expertise to Major League Soccer. His presence on the MLS Board of Governors provides another authentic, avid soccer fan to our diversifying set of investors."

Red Bull New York's team emblem, unveiled today on www.newyorkredbulls.com, features two bulls charging toward a soccer ball. The team opens its 2006 campaign on Sunday, April 2 against D.C. United at RFK Stadium (5 p.m. ET). The team's home opener at Giants Stadium is Saturday, April 8 against the New England Revolution (7:30 p.m.). The Red Bull New York uniforms will be unveiled soon.

With Red Bull's eastern regional offices located in Hoboken, N.J., its commitment to the metropolitan New York area team suits both the company and Major League Soccer. In recent years, Red Bull has increased its investment in professional sports, including NASCAR, extreme sports and Formula One auto racing. In professional soccer, it has transformed Red Bull Salzburg into one of Austria's leading first division clubs by signing impact players and using innovative marketing to increase attendance.

Subject: True origin and meaning of the word "soccer"

From Yahoo! Sports: SOCCER,
http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/soccer

The word "soccer" was coined by the British...

Clubs were referred to as: Association Football.

Soccer comes from the shortening of the word Association.

Association ->Assoc.
Assocer -> Person pertaining/belonging to (a) Football association.
Assocer -> Soccer.

Soccer came to mean the sport itself, not only a participant.

The term was used in England first, and still is used there today,
alongside football and "footie".

American football, on the other hand, did not derive its name (by copying) from soccer-football, but was named after the actual ball used, the "football" taken from rugby, which is still the same unique shape and size today.

So... short story, when someone argues with you that the word soccer is an "Americanism", you can tell them how wrong they are...

Have
fun!!
