Tuesday's Column

I caught up with former Galaxy Coach Sigi Schmid in today's column.

Is a Crew-Galaxy MLS final in Carson possible, perhaps?

The Crew could well be in the final but the Galaxy certainly won't. The Galaxy will collapse when Beckham, Donovan and Ruiz go off for World Cup duty. Players such as Tudela and Allen won't have enough experience to replace them, and despite Buddle's hat trick, he and Gordon have yet to show consistency. If any team from the West makes it, it'll most likely be Houston; the Dynamo still has quality and if it can find a decent striker, should return to form.
