EPISODE 5 – Landon Donovan, an LA Galaxy legend?

Welcome to Episode 5, “Landon Donovan, an LA Galaxy Legend?” The episode that almost didn’t make it. It was an interesting week for the #SFTS crew thanks to company Christmas parties, hangovers, travel, and connectivity issues to name a few. In the end – although later than we wanted to – Episode 5 is here.

The crew begin by reacting to Chris Klein’s contract extension, the four-hour transfer window after the MLS Cup and LA Galaxy’s preseason schedule.
