Half Way Through My 1st Semester.
It’s official. I have made it half way through my first semester of law school. I actually don’t know if this is the real half way mark, but because all of my midterms are either taken or turned in, I’ll count it. I get a lot of questions from friends and family as to how things are going in law school. The most common one is get is how hard it is, so here are my answer, so...

They're the best!
About a year ago I wrote a blog post explaining why the MLS Supporters’ Shield was the most important trophy to win in Major League Soccer. Well it still is and I’m happy to say that the LA Galaxy have won the Supporters’ Shield once again! This makes them the best team in Major League Soccer for the 2011 season. Congrats to the team and lets try to get Becks the MLS Cup this...

First Month of Law School
As many of you know my life took a drastic change, for the better, in the last month. I went from working a nine to fiver and only really having to worry about getting home from work to see an important soccer game to spending ninety percent of my day studying the law. I’ll be honest, I was pretty freaked out that this would be so stressful and so hard that I’d want to die. Ultimately,...

Christ the Redeemer.
I found this photo and for some reason it speaks to me. For one it’s an awesome picture. In fact any photo of Christ the Redeemer is epic looking but throw in a soccer stadium and you’ve got me hooked! I love how the stadium looks like a halo over Christ the Redeemer.
What’s ironic about this picture is the neighborhood in Rio between Christ the Redeemer and the Maracana...

Charlie Davies to DC United. →
It looks like Charlie Davies could potential go on loan with DC United this season. He will head down to Florida to train with the team and after a week long evaluation DC United may sign him on to a 12 month loan deal. This is awesome news for Davies and his fans. I would love to see Charlie playing in the MLS to build his career back and cannot wait to see him play against the LA Galaxy at the...

Torres is a Blue.
Today was a very interesting day for this Chelsea FC fan who despises Liverpool FC and has always hated Fernando Torres. Roman Abramovich, Chelsea’s owner, reached in his pocket, pulled out $80 million and Western Unioned it to Liverpool. In return a girlie looking Spaniard dude headed down to Stamford Bridge for a physical. So what does this mean to me you ask? A Chelsea FC fan who has...

The Off Season.
As a soccer fan there are 2 words that I dread, Off Season. The time where you reflect on the past season, whether it was a great season or a disappointment. You look towards the next season to be better than the last and hope that you don’t get news of your top or favorite player leaving your club. The only soccer games you can watch are either at the crack of dawn or while you’re at...

European Winter Trip.
I recently got back from a 2 weeks trek through Europe and I thought I’d share the trip with you guys. My close friend, Bryan, and I hopped on a plane the day after Christmas and flew to Paris with our bags, Eurail Passes and return flights home flying out of Barcelona 2 weeks later.
First stop in Paris was a coffee shop to figure out what we were going to do, make sure our phones were...

Napa.
I had the opportunity to go to Napa Valley this past weekend with the family. It was a great trip filled with tons of wine tasting. If you’ve never been to Napa before you need to make it a weekend trip! I had high expectations for Napa Valley and it lived up to the hype. Yes, some wineries are better than others and things can get a bit expensive but to me it is well worth it.

And Then There Were Four.
Last night the Galaxy clinched their spot in the Western Conference Championship for the 2nd straight year by beating Seattle Sounders FC with a 3-0 aggregate. Although Seattle was tough, they were no match for the Galaxy who scored a goal against the Sounders away from home at Qwest Field and 2 goals at the Home Depot Center yesterday evening. Props to Omar Gonzalas on a beautiful goal off a...

Goalkeeper of the Year.
This week Major League Soccer announced their season awards and Goalkeeper of the Year went to the LA Galaxy’s own, Donovan Ricketts! Ricketts signed with the Galaxy in late December of 2008 and to be honest with you, he was sensational compared to any goalie in the league at that time. Many people don’t understand the significance of having a great goalie, especially in the American...

Qwest. Check!
The Galaxy played a tough game against the Seattle Sounders yesterday in a stadium that I consider the hardest stadium to play at as an away team in Major League Soccer, Qwest Field. The Galaxy came out victorious with a 1-0 win over Seattle in the away leg of the first round of the 2010 MLS Playoffs. Now the Galaxy will return home next Sunday to play the Sounders at home. Things look very...

Basketball Season Is Here.
Yes, I am a Basketball fan as well. Today is the first tip off of the NBA season and I’m looking forward to seeing the Lakers roll again and go for a 3-peat. There’s been a ton of media coverage around the Miami Heat this season with the move of LeBron, but ultimately I don’t see that team doing any better than Boston. It should be an interesting season to watch. GO LAKERS!

Last night the LA Galaxy not only clinched home field advantage for the playoffs, they took home the Western Conference Championship and the Supporters’ Shield. I was a tough battle having to come back from a 1-0 deficit against FC Dallas, but when it was needed, Landon Donovan gave a beautiful assist to David Beckham to tie up the game. Only a few minutes into the second half Juninho...
Mullets.
I’ve always been a fan of the mullet. A misunderstood hair style that is sexy, yet ugly at the same time. It might actually be the only hairstyle out there that gets 2 reactions at the same time. Anyways, I recently made a list of “The Best Type of Mullets” on Lunch.com and the list went viral! If you haven’t seen it yet you can check it out here. Feel free to share it as...

The Supporters' Shield.
This Sunday will be the last game of the regular season for the LA Galaxy. To me this is the most important game the Galaxy will play all season. If they win this game they will take home the Supporters’ Shield, which to me is the most important honor to bring home. See, to me the Supporters’ Shield is even more important than winning the MLS Cup. Now don’t get me wrong, winning...

Thoughts on the recent US National Team games.
This last week was an exciting week for the fans of the US National team. The US played two friendlies, one verses Poland and one verses Colombia. I would have to say the Poland game was the more exciting game of the two because there were goals being score. The outcome of the Poland game was a 2-2 draw. Right off the boot (not bat, we aren’t talking about baseball) we were able to see a...
