Beckham, Galaxy Fall to USL Team May. 14, 2008
With David Beckham in tow, the Los Angeles Galaxy headed back on the exhibition circuit, and it had no more luck than it has had in MLS, where it's again playing below .500 almost two months into the season. Cuban Eduardo Sebrango scored in the 66th minute to give the USL First Division's Vancouver Whitecaps a 2-1 win over the Galaxy Tuesday before 37,104 fans at Edmonton 's Commonwealth Stadium. Beckham had an assist on Alan Gordon's goal for the Galaxy. Former D.C. United striker Nick Adderly scored the first goal for the Whitecaps, who outshot Los Angeles , 14-8. The Galaxy was without Landon Donovan, who was a late scratch with what was reported to be a right calf strain.

Galaxy's Mathis out after having knee surgery (AP) Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder Clint Mathis will miss four to six weeks after having surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee. The team said Monday that Mathis was hurt in training last week and had the surgery Friday in Santa Monica. Mathis was re-acquired by the Galaxy in January from MLS Cup champion Real Salt Lake.
The Galaxy opened their stadium, the Home Depot Center on June 7. But in order for their home to be ready, the team had to play a record 8 games to start the season and failed to win a game. In fact, the Galaxy finish the season without a win away from home the whole season. After the season's final game, the Galaxy had the final playoff spot in the West. In their aggregate series with the Earthquakes, they seemed well on to vindication for the MLS Cup loss 2 years earlier as they held 4 goals to 0 lead midway through the 2 nd game. A thing happened as the Earthquakes scored four unanswered goals to force a tiebreaker. In that session, the Earthquakes' Rodrigo Farina score to send the Quakes onto the next round. In 2004 Looking to return to the top, the Galaxy would go through a mediocre 1 st half of the season before 3 straight wins over the summer. But from July 14 on, the Galaxy won only 2 more games, one in September and one in October. The Galaxy had a record of 11-9-10, good enough for 2nd in the West and the playoff, remaining the only club in MLS to have a playoff spot in every year of league in the playoffs, the Galaxy withstood an early challenge from the Rapids to win the aggregate goal series, 2-1, scoring 2 times in Game 2. In the conference final, the Galaxy's season would come to an end in Kansas with a 2-0 loss to Arnaud and the Wizards. |
