I believe that Galaxy should have protect Abel Xavier since we need his experience in the back.
And...some good news: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/soccer/11/16/galaxy.donovan/
Based on what I've seen on the BigSoccer forums, lots of Galaxy fans will be very surprised (and/or mad) that Pavon was protected
rather see pavon exposed then Abel, but you guys know more "behind the scenes" stuff.
I can't believe Xavier was left unprotected. Would be sad to see Martino or Gordon go.
Great, I hope He takes Clint Mathis
Does the reserve team players count part of the team? If so, whats up with Johnny Bravo? :)
Our protected roster is solid. 1 GK, 5 defenders, 3 forwards, 2 midfielders. Everyone that needed to be protected was, IMO. Though it would be sad to see Gray, Tudela, or Xavier be selected in the draft. Cross your fingers.
I think that Tudela &gray shuold stay and Xavier Shuold defenetly go I was expecting more out of him
every time he had the ball maybe one or two plays came out of him
I did not skills that we need in our Galaxy
Carlos Pavon was protected for what reason he is rubbish!
i can`t beleive that abel and martino and gordon and also peter were not protected. well i hope they don`t go.:( what pavon was protected what the @#$%. omg.
