Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez said Thursday he will be back with the Los Angeles Galaxy next season due to meeting a clause in his contract.
Chicharito revealed the news when asked about his future during a media availability session with reporters.
"I have a clause," Chicharito said. "And when I reach 11 goals and 60 percent of the minutes, it automatically renews."
The business end of the MLS season is upon us, and with the MLS playoffs kicking off in just under a month, every game matters. Only six sides have officially been eliminated from playoff contention going into the international break and the race for the Supporter’s Shield is very much alive. Following Match Week 32, let’s break down what every team is playing for from here on out.
Remaining Opponents: Charlotte FC, Toronto FC
Cada año, el periódico inglés The Guardian revela una lista de jóvenes promesas del fútbol. Este 2022 no es la excepción y sus expertos crearon un catálogo de 60 futuros cracks nacidos el año 2005 y en el cual incluyeron a dos futbolistas mexicanos.
Back in March, Charlotte FC set the MLS attendance record when 74,479 showed up at Bank of America Stadium for the club's inaugural home match against LA Galaxy. Now the visitors are looking to bring the record back home with a 2023 El Tráfico of LA Galaxy vs LAFC at the Rose Bowl (capacity: 88,565).
Oh, and it's the season opener.
You don't provoke Javier "Chicharito" Hernández. It is the lesson that a few San Jose Earthquakes fans learned Saturday night after deploying a tifo vs. LA Galaxy that ended up inspiring the striker to score a brace against them.
The supporter wanted to create a hostile environment for the LA Galaxy in a new edition of the Cali Clasico, unraveling a giant banner mocking them – and LAFC – with the message: "The LA Circus – Same clowns, different costumes."
Wales captain Gareth Bale said he is on a "good path" towards full fitness ahead of the World Cup in Qatar, despite not completing a full game since joining Los Angeles FC in June.
Bale signed for the Major League Soccer club after leaving Real Madrid, where he struggled with injury in his last few seasons. He has made only two starts in his 11 appearances for LAFC, scoring twice.
Despite his terrible numbers from the penalty spot, nobody in LA Galaxy can complain about what Javier Hernández has brought to the team. Although the club has been far – very far – from competing for a title, Chicharito has shown his goalscoring skills, amassing 33 goals in 61 MLS games.
Not bad, right?
In a little over two months, the USMNT begins its World Cup campaign in Qatar. Much is still to be decided for the final roster — especially at the goalkeeper position.
The upcoming international break, which features a match against Japan on Sept. 23 and one against Saudi Arabia on Sept. 27, should give some indication of who Gregg Berhalter views as his top three goalkeepers. Included in the roster are Ethan Horvath, Sean Johnson and Matt Turner.
LA Galaxy continúa soñando con un boleto a los playoffs de la conferencia oeste de la MLS, luego de vencer 4-1 a Colorado Rapids, en una noche decorada con un par de golazos. Uno de ellos, por supuesto, tuvo el sello de Javier Hernández.
El equipo angelino comenzó como una tromba y antes de los 30 minutos vencía por 2-0 con anotaciones de Gastón Brugman y Raheem Edwards. Este último se lució con una conquista de tintes maradonianos, quebrando cinturas y cruzándola al ángulo ante la pasividad de la defensa rival.
LONDON — Former England soccer captain David Beckham queued for more than 13 hours alongside thousands of other mourners to see Queen Elizabeth lying in state in London on Friday.
The 47-year-old former Manchester United and Real Madrid midfielder and current co-owner of American Major League Soccer team Inter Miami, said he had joined the queue at 2:15 a.m. (0115 GMT).
