Media confuses LA Galaxy with LAFC again amid Olivier Giroud transfer rumors

Amidst all the buzz about Olivier Giroud possibly making a move to MLS, the sports media has once again managed to mix up the LA Galaxy with LAFC, and it's got everyone shaking their heads in disbelief.

In the unpredictable world of soccer transfers, where rumors fly fast, it's not uncommon for reporters to trip over their own feet. Even though LA Galaxy is the seasoned champ of MLS and LAFC brings that new-kid-on-the-block energy, some folks in the media still seem to be playing a game of "spot the difference" between the two.

So, here's the scoop: according to the grapevine, the 37-year-old French forward, Giroud, is eyeing a spot in MLS once his stint with AC Milan wraps up.

Word has it he's set to sport the black and gold of LAFC. But hold on to your hats, because some media outlets have taken a detour into confusion-ville by suggesting that Giroud is California-bound for the Galaxy, which couldn't be further from the truth.
