We are quickly working our way through the 15 MLS clubs as we gear up for next week's expansion
draft. The new kids on the block, the Philadelphia Union will get to select 10 players from the
list of unprotected players that each club will have to submit by next Monday.
Welcome back to the playoffs!
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 Pando Ramirez's only
goal of the season.
Feel the passion!
Thanks to the dozens of you who entered the first ticket contest with prizes courtesy of the
Galaxy.
The winners: Mike Crandall of Glendora and Kristinne Uy of Rosemead, who win a pair of tickets
each to Sunday's big game.
They correctly answered the question: who is the only player to score for both the Galaxy and
Chivas USA this season?
Donovan's goal came in the Aug. 8 game against New England and was one of 12 he scored during
the regular season.
His stunning left-footed volley beat out an Alecko Eskandarian effort and eight other finalists.
It's the first time a Donovan goal has received the award.
