That was partly because Colorado belatedly discovered its offense in the second half - at one point late in the game the Rapids had out shot the Galaxy seven to one.

The Galaxy had looked to be heading for a comfortable win when Ely Allen scored his first MLS goal of his career just after the break, getting on the end of a Pete Vagenas through ball to make it 3-0.

Landon Donovan is away on international duty with the U.S., while David Beckham has returned from England.

Coach Ruud Gullit has Steve Cronin in goal as usual, but makes two changes to the back four.

The Rapids, with a record of 5-5-0, are leading the Western Conference standings. However, with their 15 points, the Rapids would only be tied for 4th in the Eastern Conference standings.

Judging by this assessment, he's right.

Meanwhile, former England Coach Sven Goran-Ericksson was fired as Manchester City Monday as expected and looks likely to be confirmed Tuesday as Mexico's new coach.

"We gave the journalists ammunition to say we can't play without these two," Galaxy coach Ruud Gullit said.

Wait a minute. That's what he said after the Rapids U.S. Open Cup game.

You get the idea.

And there was no imagination in midfield, bite in defense or (much) Alan Gordon, um, fire power up front either.

Without Donovan (tight groin) the U.S. fell 2-0 to England today in London. Chivas USA goalkeeper Brad Guzan made a second half appearance for the U.S. to earn his sixth cap, but a disappointing U.S. team failed to show much.
