Ante Is Going Green

We're proud to announce that Galaxy defender Ante Jazic has received his green card and will no longer occupy one of the Galaxy's international roster spots. The Canadian international has played for the Galaxy since August 2006 but has missed the entire 2008 season because of an ankle injury. However, Jazic has returned to training over the last two weeks and is closing in on a return to full fitness and will hope to be available for selection in the not so distant future.

The Galaxy now have four of their eight international spots open, with David Beckham, Alvaro Pires, Carlos Ruiz and Abel Xavier still designated as internationals. Could one of those four be Close to getting his green cARd as weLl? We'll just have tO wait and See.

Gavin Debuts a New Look

Michael Gavin debuted a new look at training today, chopping off the long locks that he had sported since first arriving in LA a couple of months ago.

He was also sporting the new sleeveless training tops that arrived the other day. They look similar to last year's but do have some slight differences.
