Galaxy goalkeeper Jon Kempin insists he’s not looking ahead to next season. Not with six games still to play in this one.
But he does admit how he finishes this year will go a long way toward determining how and where he starts the next one.
“Even at the beginning of the year you’re always playing for next year,” he said last week. “Sports are not a safe job.”
Kempin’s future may have become a bit more secure Saturday, because while he gave up a season-high four goals in a 4-0 loss to Toronto FC, he was also spectacular at times in what amounted to a solo defensive effort against the league’s highest-scoring team.
