Countdown to MLS Cup in Carson: Galaxy Vs. Houston Dynamo
Former Galaxy greats Cobi Jones and Chris Klein marked the installation of two Starlight Children's Foundation FunCenters at Children's Hospital Los Angeles Wednesday ahead of MLS Cup. More than 7,000 FunCenters, which include a TV, DVD player and video game system, have been installed nationwide (Photo courtesy MLS).
There are just four days left until MLS Cup 2011 in Carson:
*USA Today profiles Galaxy cult hero Mike Magee, who has figured out how to play with David Beckham this season.
*This seems a bit like wishful thinking to me, but the Houston Chronicle has concluded (apparently largely on the basis of the cup competition that is the MLS playoffs) that the Dynamo have gone from road kill to road warriors.
*Who will win MLS Cup? Watch the FIFA 2012 simulation here.
*Finally, will Galaxy striker Robbie Keane pull a Beckham and go out on loan in the MLS offseason?
