Cobi's Comrades

Can anyone identify all of Cobi's buddies in this photo? It helps if you remember the Galaxy from "back in the day".

That's pretty much going to be the way that Galaxy fans will tag themselves as old-school, on whether or not they followed the team from the Rose Bowl days, and remember tailgating there, remember the teal, remember the song from Ozomatli that was practically the Galaxy's theme.


Even Mr. Jones, Cobi's dad was talking to me about those days and how much he enjoyed the boisterous fans back then. He recalled the crowds dancing to the "Macarana" in the concrete aisles of the Rose Bowl. Ok, well, some things should remain in the past, but here's hoping that in the celebration of Cobi's last year, the fans bring back the fun of the old days

Okay, let's see. The red head is Alexi Lalas, of course. The short Central American to his left is Carlos Ruiz. Then, we've got Andrew Shue and the guy on the end is Luis "Matador" Hernandez.

:D

The red-head is Dan Calachman. Far right is former coach (and head coach for one match) Ralph Perez. Not sure about the three on the far left.

Hernandez??? He didn't show up half the time when he was a player. ;)

The guy in the goatee leaning forward is the trainer, Ivan Pierra. Not sure about the others either though I think one might be Jorge Salcedo.

I was wondering if Luis Hernandez had heard the news wherever the hell he was at and if he cared or if Cobi cared about him. It would have been funny if Matador would have showed up or Hermosillo or Campos.
