YouTube gem: When Cobi Jones, Clint Mathis got a Disney call-up after a different Galaxy-MetroStars classic

Cobi Jones - LA Galaxy - vs Rapids

All of us at MLSsoccer.com hope you enjoyed Monday's rebroadcast of our latest MLS Classic, the LA Galaxy's first-ever MLS home match against the New York/New Jersey MetroStars.


As special as that encounter was, it was a fixture between the same team a few years later that featured on former Disney Channel show, The Jersey.  (Credit to Zack Goldman, who first brought this to our attention on Twitter.)



Cobi Jones and Clint Mathis both make appearances on the episode, which centers on the Galaxy's dramatic 3-2 win over the MetroStars on April 11, 1998. That match celebrated its 22nd anniversary on Saturday.


To see the best acting ever by 1990s LA Galaxy members not named Andrew Shue, pick up the episode a bit beyond the 11-minute mark.
