Well I guess this year it is serious in LA. David Beckham wants to win something. I could think of best dressed – richest – most popular MLS player. I think those types of awards would be right up his alley.
I suppose an MLS Cup is more along the lines of what Beckham does want to win though. The Galaxy have had a couple of bad seasons including last year with minimal Beckham playing time due to a sprained ankle and then a sprained knee. The Galaxy finished the season with a great run that saw them miss the playoffs on the last day of the season by losing in Chicago.
Since last year the Galaxy brought back Carlos Ruiz from FC Dallas, but they traded away 2 starters. Joe Cannon went to the expansion San Jose Earthquakes and defender Chris Albright was traded off the the New England Revolution. Ruiz will for sure help in the goal scoring department but the missing Cannon and Albright is going to hurt. Both of those guys are potentials for the All Star game if they are healthy. Albright missed a lot of last season due to injury.
So, what do you think Beckham is going to win this coming season, if anything?

The Galaxy looked like a team that Brianna Scurry could have shut out tonite. Then they got one shot on goal and it happened to go in.
Good thing the Galaxy have Joe Cannon in goal. He was forced to make a nice save on what would have been an own goal had he not stopped it. Other than that the Wizards didn’t force too much out of him all game.
That one goal scored by Gavin Glinton in the 80th minute was all the Galaxy needed to move 3 points up on the other teams fighting for the playoffs. With their game in hand it doesn’t look like an impossible mission for them to come back and sneak into the playoffs this year. I still wouldn’t bet on it though.
Kansas City finished the game with only 9 players on the field after Davy Arnaud and Jimmy Conrad were both shown red cards for hard tackles on Peter Vagenas. Vagenas was not very happy about the second one and could have got a yellow for his bit of a retaliation on Arnaud.
I was surprised to learn was that Marky Mark Wahlberg plays for the Wizards.

The Galaxy traded Hercules Gomez to Colorado for Joe Cannon. There was a little bit more involved in the trade, but these are the two that surprised me. I can’t imagine either Hartman or Cannon sitting on the bench, so I wonder whats goin on in LA. Are they getting rid of Hartman, or want to trade Cannon off to someone else? Anyone know what the plan in LA is?
