Landon Donovan and the rest of the United States national team made history today. After a poor start with 3-1 and 3-0 losses to Italy and Brazil the United States has done the unthinkable. They somehow managed to beat a tough Egypt team 3-0 while Brazil did exactly the same to Italy to slip the US into the semi-finals as the 2nd place team in the group by way of total goals scored tiebreaker.
The only problem with that situation is they had to play Spain. Spain was currently the #1 team in the world. They haven’t lost a game since November of 2006. They have won 15 in a row and been unbeaten in 35. No team from outside of Europe has beaten Spain since 1999.
The United States stepped up and did what no one else could do. They beat Spain!
The Galaxy’s own Landon Donovan set up the 2nd goal as the US went on to a 2-0 victory to send them to the championship game of the Confederations Cup for the first time ever. Jozy Altidore scored the first goal for the US and Clint Dempsey scored the 2nd goal that was set up by Donovan. This is one of the biggest victories ever for US Soccer!

Some jobs have recently opened up as you all know coach Ruud Gullit and general manager Alexi Lalas have recently departed from the Galaxy. Former US MNT coach Bruce Arena has filled the role as coach and general manager since then, but only after the general manager job was turned down by Peter Vermes. Vermes says he was recently offered the job, but turned it down. Vermes will stay at his current position as technical directory for the Kansas City Wizards.

There have been reports that the Iran national team would come to play a friendly with the LA Galaxy this summer. Some have said that Iran would not come unless they got a formal invitation from US Soccer which they have not yet received.
I read somewhere (can’t find it now) that the Galaxy have denied this friendly game vs. Iran.
I personally think the chances of this rumored game actually happening are very slim. What do you think, will the Galaxy see Iran on the field anytime this year?
