The Galaxy are heading to MLS Cup

Galaxy 2 Houston Dynamo 0

Who would have thunk it at the outset of this season?

Two extra time goals by Gregg Berhalter (!) and Landon Donovan – his 17th postseason goal, the most in MLS (he was tied with Carlos Ruiz previously) – has given the Galaxy the win before an energized 25,373 even though it’s past 11:30 p.m.

And Omar Gonzalez almost scored an own goal with a header off the bar in the final minute of stoppage time, too!

Updated: David Beckham got into a little argy bargy after the final whistle when a Dynamo player refused to shake hands with him and he grabbed his hand anyway. The players were quickly separated. No big deal.

Said Beckham:

“There’s nothing wrong with a bit of controversy in a team, in a club, it brings players together and it’s done that.”

More later.
