Eyes on the Prize

By: DAS | November 16th, 2011

MLSCup There it is. For 5 years we have been yearning for it. For 5 years David Beckham has been reaching for it. This weekend, it is finally and definitively within our grasp. We have a very real chance of taking home the MLS Cup. I don’t know about you, but I’m excited.

The only really significant news I’ve heard in the lead up is the injury to Chad Barrett, which will keep him out of the cup. I feel bad for him, but not so much for the team. I don’t dislike him, but I’m never really satisfied with him and I think we can do better. I agree with J-Ro and the Gues-monkey over at the Galaxy Podcast (@Galaxypodcast) that Cardozo should get the start. But I also agree with them that it isn’t going to happen. We all know Arena is going to go with Cristman. He’s the more comparable player to Barrett. Which is exactly why I wouldn’t play him. Oh well, I don’t think Barrett’s replacement is going to decide the match in any event.

So, are you ready?

I certainly agree that LA Galaxy have a real good chance of taking the cup. Like what Charlie said, don't give away the possession easily as we all know that Houston can whip out a real punishment at set pieces. Come on LA!

Maintain possession and no cheap fouls to give Houston set pieces. Camargo is the main to limit to stifle their attack

Start Cardozo to playmake in the midfield and push the hot Magee up top to score.
Let's get this trophy!
