“In the box”: The measure of a striker, and Sporting Kansas City in 2022

Just. Revealing. Respectful.

The 2011 Los Angeles Galaxy were rich with attacking talent, beginning with midfielder/forward Landon Donovan and midfielder David Beckham. During the preseason, the Galaxy had acquired Colombian striker Juan Pablo Angel, the marksmen of 58 goals in 100 starts with the New York Red Bulls. And they had Chad Barrett, a good backup striker (though a bit of a journeyman) who had scored 29 goals (.34 goals per 90) for a Chicago Fire side that won a good amount of matches and a few seasons at Toronto FC.
