Jorge Campos, Chicharito Hernández, Luis Hernández, Gio Dos Santos, Carlos Hermosillo, are just some of many Mexican national team players to make their way to the LA Galaxy. Many of them with mixed results.
Major League Soccer has been home to many Mexican internationals of note, many of them have been some of the biggest flops in the history of the league. Be that as it may, MLS and its club will use that Mexican national team card when needing to boost sales and gain notoriety.
Fresh off of yet another dismal season, the Los Angeles Galaxy did not qualify for the post season and saw the end of the era of Chicharito Hernández, which was largely disappointing. Now the brass in LA want to make another push for one of Mexico’s biggest stars.
