The Los Angeles Galaxy's quest to completely rebuild a defense that was atrocious in 2008 took another step toward completion with the signing of veteran American defender Gregg Berhalter. The 35-year-old central defender joins an LA squad that was counting on Tony Sanneh and rookies Omar Gonzalez and Yohance Marshall to man the middle of the defense. Berhalter joins LA after having negotiated his...
LA has officially signed U.S. international Greg Berhalter . So to recap Bruce brought Eddie Lewis in last season, picked up Kirovski in the supplemental draft, was able to keep Landon from falling into German hands, pulled Tony Sanneh in from mothball storage and now has Berhalter to help organize the defense. How long before he convinces Cobi to take of the suit and suit back up? Basically LA's new...
God bless Tony Sanneh. He's still taller than Gooch wearing platform shoes standing atop a pile of Landon's possibly-fading European dreams and he still wants to play despite the fact that he is aged (for a footballer at least). But you guys gotta help me out with something here: does he have one of those hang-down, handlebar mustaches or are those jowl lines? In case you forgot, the Galaxy and star...
NEWS: The Dynamo remain undefeated in preseason action, beating the Los Angeles Galaxy 2-0 earlier today at Carson, Calif. An own goal by L.A.'s Tony Sanneh gave the Dynamo the lead just two minutes in. Brian Mullan sealed the scoring...
Awhile ago I mentioned MLS originals, I mentioned Jaimie Moreno as one of them . I was wrong. Jaimie came in during the 1996 season, he wasn't with DC United to start the first MLS season. Tony Sanneh isn't playing right now (retired') so that leaves Chivas USA's Ante Razov and Jesse Marsch as the only one's left. As you probably know, Ante had a short stint with Racing de Ferrol in Spain's La Segunda...

A couple weeks ago I posted the start of a comprehensive list to track all player moves before the season starts . I haven't noticed anyone doing this and it seemed an important thing to keep track of for future use. We tend to forget things like when last year the Rapids traded a major allocation to Toronto for Conor Casey with Toronto FC picking up part of Casey's salary for the year. There have...
With San Jose set to rejoin the league next year, MLS has forced all 13 current teams to leave a certain amount of their contracted players available for San Jose to stock their team with. Insane I know, but always interesting. SJ will be picking 10 players and no team can lose more than 1. This draft will take place, tomorrow, Wed Nov 21 at 10am Pacific time. Here is a full list of all available players...
It looks like for the time being ex-USMNT player Tony Sanneh has signed with the Minnesota Thunder (USL-1). Sanneh has been without a team since being released by the Chicago Fire after the 2006 MLS season. Since then he's been linked with a couple MLS teams and spent time training with New York Red Bulls. Recently the Colorado Rapids traded the Chicago Fire a 4th round Superdraft pick for Sanneh's...
