I love football as much as the next guy, but at the base level, I'm still a woman. I appreciate the after-game shirt exchange just as much as the game itself. Kayla's salute is a recurring piece spotlighting the best footballers that also happen to be the best looking.

I could say that it's a coincidence that this is the second Salute and the second feature of a Galaxy player. But face it, that's my team. Suck it up and accept the fact that despite the draws, some of these boys have been doing fantastic jobs.
This week's salute goes to Brian Perk, the third string goalkeeper for the LA Galaxy who through other's bad luck had some great fortune.
Due to injury leave for Donovan Ricketts and the red card suspension for Josh Saunders, Brian Perk had the chance to make his MLS debut yesterday in the LA Galaxy's match against Seattle Sounders FC which resulted in a 0-0 draw.
Despite a lackluster match which was supposed to be the main course for the 4th of July, Perk was the star of the night. Perk's first clean sheet was kicked off not only with his first save in the MLS but also with his first penalty save.
That makes Perk the second MLS player to record his first save as his first penalty save. Not bad for a 21 year who is still wet behind the ears.
Something tells me we will definitely see more of Perk, even if it is not as immediate as Josh Saunders returning from his red card suspension and Donovan Ricketts returning from his injury. Regardless, Brian Perk has his youth and his determination on his side. Keep an eye out for this one.
Postgame reaction from Brian Perk, Landon Donovan, and Kasey Keller right this way.
