First XI: Old friends, new places

11-11-13-7 -- that's pretty pale compared to the 24 and 15 he threw out in '02 and '03. Does he still have it? Or is this just another of so many player moves by the Galaxy that will fall flat?


1. Chris Albright, from Los Angeles to New England. Finally, Albright to the Revs is just one of those moves that I did not see happening. Obviously, health is an issue for Albright, who a year ago was looking like the best right back in MLS, but I still like the potential of this move for the Revs, who are not known for entering the "big trade" market. Team Stability must have felt it was time to shake things up. Will it pay off?
