The Galaxy hung on to win 3-2, but this game was much closer than it should have been.

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.

This should be fun, after that 4-0 arse-whoopin' we got in March. We are certainly a better team than the one that showed up at Dick's that day.

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.

A day after leading England to a 3-0 win over Trinidad & Tobago, David Beckham insisted (again) that playing in MLS is no impediment to his international career. 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.

The Guardian reports that Sir Alex Ferguson has given his first full interview for nearly ten years, with Sir David Frost the lucky interviewer (presumably it needed to be someone to match Fergie on the prefix front).

U.S. Women's National Team Coach Pia Sundhage has named a 22-player roster for the Peace Cup in South Korea later this month, the last major tournament for the team before the Olympics begin.

The Special One has landed.
And he's already causing a stir, threatening to go on a smash and grab raid for key players from Chelsea at the earliest opportunity, given half a chance.
Mind you if I was a Chelsea fan I would say he is welcome to Mr Droba after his antics in the Champion's League final.

Now Euro 2008 is in full swing, spare a thought for those not invited to the party.
36 European nations failed to make it to the Alps. England might stand out among them, but also missing is 2006 World Cup quarter-finalists Ukraine, plus nations of the calibre of Belgium, Serbia, Denmark, Slovakia, Norway and Ireland.

The Galaxy (4-4-2) can leap frog the Rapids (5-5-0) and claim first place in the Western Conference tonight with a win over a team they've lost to twice already this season.

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.
