Trivia Question Winners Revealed
That second trivia question was a little tougher, apparently.
Far fewer readers could name one of two goalkeepers who had dressed for both the Galaxy and Chivas USA this season than correctly answered the first question.
The answers: Miguel Benitez of Cal State Dominguez Hills and Kevin Guppy of Cal State Northridge. Both were among the pool of emergency goalkeepers MLS keeps on hand to help clubs caught short in that position and both were called up by the two clubs at some point this season.
The winners: Adam Serrano of Arcadia and Far Farshad of Pacific Palisades.
Congrats to both - I've sent you e-mails telling you when and where to pick up your pair of tickets to Sunday's Galaxy-Chivas USA Western conference semifinal decider at Home Depot Center in Carson.
Thanks to everyone who entered the two contests and the Galaxy for providing the four pairs of tickets.

Nick, I think you should have another contest for tickets. This time, you should offer a luxury box at the midfield stripe if anybody gets all of the following correct:
1. Which MLS team was not named best public-relations unit for the 14th consecutive season?
2. Who are the only two coaches to have managed MLS teams in both of this nation's two largest cities?
3. Who is the Hall of Fame defender who single-handedly screwed up both of MLS's teams in the nation's two largest markets?
4. What two-word exclamation from page 151 of Grant Wahl's The Beckham Experiment succinctly expresses this defender's front-office career?
i'm kicking myself more and more
