It has been three long and, to be blunt, disastrous years since the last time the Galaxy played post-season futbol. That year they peaked at the right time after basically backing in to the playoffs and ended up taking the MLS Cup from New England on ... http://lagalaxy.theoffside.com/player-news/galaxy-vs-chivas-playoff-preview.html I think we have the edge in today's match.

Yet one more bit of byzantine MLS rules ... http://lagalaxy.theoffside.com/player-news/donovon-ricketts-save-of-the-week.html Today they, the ubiquitous they who say many things and say them often, have awarded the Galaxy's own Landon Donovan the 2009 Honda Player of the Year award.
