I have a really hard time beleiving this could even be close to true, but it keeps coming up. I haven’t actually heardLalas talking about Zidane, but they claim it happened. Aparently they are talking about brining Zidane to the Galaxy.
Here is a quote from VitalFootball.co.uk attributed to the Alexi Lalas in the Times:
‘Everything is very preliminary. If it happens, that would be wonderful - not just for the Galaxy, but also for our league and I think he would really enjoy the opportunity, because he is competitive and he wants to win.’
‘He’s a great player and he doesn’t want to sit in the French countryside drinking wine.”
I couldn’t imagine much better than playing professional soccer, but sitting in the French countryside drinking wine doesn’t sounds so bad. What do you think, is this even close to a possibility, or is someone just dreaming?

I love LAG like you know, but this is ridiculous, Zidane will never come to LA, and that’s is good like that !!

I love the fact that MLS is doing this. all i have to say is, sure why not? if they got Becks, why cant they get ZZ!!!
Why they can’t ?? Because Zinedine is retiring !! And i think that money for him it isn’t the most interesting !!

It sounds wonderful but highly unlikely. MLS teams can only have 2 DP spots. Beckham is filling one for 5 years. Next year Landon will likely take up a DP spot. They would be foolish to give up a young rising American star in order to bring another aging European star that would only play a year or two.
Totally agree !!
