Anyhow, let's dive into it. We've got a couple of broadsheets talking about LA Galaxy @ New York Red Bulls, as well as a report that Robbie Keane will named for Ireland's Euro playoff squad. Reports came out of Galaxy camp before they flew to New York that Keane was practicing with the first team. So, we'll wait and see. 

To wrap things in a bow, there are also a couple of pieces from a blog. I don't know about this internet thing though, seems like a fad.
