The Galaxy obliterated FC Dallas yesterday, with Edson Buddle getting a hat trick in place of Alan Gordan. They pretty much dominated the entire first half and did just enough to hold off FC Dallas in the 2nd.
Crazy season with the Galaxy alone in 2nd place in the West, but that Eastern Conference is a beast in MLS.

and DC United again looks like garbage. By some strange schedule quirk they play Toronto FC twice this week (Weds & Saturday). I'll be at the game Saturday, I've been to 3 United games so far and I haven't seen them lose...that might come to an end this weekend/
Galaxy joining chase for Henry? Posted: Thursday May 22, 2008 10:10AM ET
The L.A. Galaxy are rivaling the new Seattle MLS franchise in the race to land Barcelona striker Thierry Henry. The Galaxy, which already boast former Real Madrid star David Beckham, have already tabled a lucrative offer to the Frenchman, who is also wanted by the backers of expansion club Seattle for next season's MLS. The Galaxy are turning to Henry after Luis Figo chose to commit to Inter Milan for another 12 months.

The only way I see this happening is if Donovan leaves to Europe and they trade Ruiz. Otherwise how could they afford him under MLS's salary rules?
I am sure it would make Beckham happy, a world class finisher for all those crosses.

I would love it, but you're right--how can the team do this? I don't think it would be hard to lose Carlos Ruiz, but I wonder at the repercussions if Donovan leaves.

What a great weekend in MLS...DC comes back and wins(down 2-1 & win 3-2), LA comes back and wins(down 1-0 win 3-1), Dallas comes back and wins(down 1-0 scores in injury time to win 2-1) and New England wins in the 89th minute on a follow up goal from a saved penalty.
I was able to see the whole LA game, they really played well, Beckhams 60 yd goal was just the icing on the cake.

I don't have HDNet, so this is the first Galaxy game this season that I missed seeing on television.
Sounds like we played really well in the 2nd half and not so great in the 1st. Like usual. And thanks to our rival, Chivas USA, we are in sole possession of 1st place in the West! Who would have thought?

That was the most entertaining MLS game of the year IMO. David Beckham is unbelievable. In the 2nd half they put Donovan in the midfield and the Galaxy dominated. It will be interesting to see Ruiz back in the lineup. Buddle has been playing well. If Ethan Allen would have buried his two point blank shots it would have been ugly. Great win. The Galaxy have a legit shot at winning it all this year which is great for the league. Beckham's 60 yarder was unreal.

It's ELY Allen, but I give it an "8" on the unintentional comedy scale!

Ely, Ethan.....whatever his name is the guy was brutal. I thought Beckham was going to kill him.
You know that Ethan Allen is a famous furniture maker, right? That's why I thought it was funny.
But you're right about Allen--he's a rookie making rookie mistakes. The funny thing is that Alan Gordon makes the same freaking mistakes and he's no rookie.

Yeah, Ethan Allen furniture. I actually thought I messed up his name when I first posted that but said F it and hit submit. No kidding about Gordon. Gordon is either decent or brutal. He's never great. His bicycle last year in Superliga was pretty badass though. All things considered I am actually really impressed with the kids in LA. What a difference a year makes.

Amen to that. Sean Franklin and Brandon McDonald are quietly having 2 of the best rookie years in MLS right now.
