Two days after a record crowd of more than 30,000 fans packed Home Depot Center to watch the LA Galaxy come from behind to beat the Houston Dynamo, some 3,000 returned Monday night to mark the second successive MLS title for LA in a trophy celebration.

Meanwhile, as the story by Staff Writer Phil Collin indicates, the MLS post-season wheeling and dealing has begun (look who’s apartment hunting again).

Chivas USA, meanwhile, has declined options on defender Danny Califf (a towering figure in defence this season) as well as midfielder Alejandro Moreno, while veterans Juan Pablo Angel and Pete Vagenas are out of contract (and likely to retire one would think).
