Gerrard has adapted a lot better than lampard has...

Still had a few years left in the tank

Yeah he's done well so far. It just depends how he'll handle all the travel.

Especially since he's flying back to England on off days to work as part of the broadcast crew for Champions League.

LA GALAXY vs MONTRÉAL IMPACT
STUBHUB CENTER, Carson, Calif.
September 12, 2015 (WEEK 28, MLS Game #280)
7:30 p.m. PT (TWCSN-LA / TWCD; TVA)

This could end up being a classic MLS game. Lot's of great talent on both teams.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY vs. LA GALAXY
Sporting Park, Kansas City, Kan.
October 25, 2015 (WEEK 33, MLS Game #338)
7 pm ET (ESPN/ESPN3)

A critical match in the Audi 2015 MLS Cup Playoffs picture is the feature Western Conference match on Decision Day, when Sporting Kansas City play host to the LA Galaxy on Sunday afternoon at Sporting Park. Sporting still have not secured their place in the postseason, following their 2-0 loss to Colorado Rapids at home at midweek, but they can guarantee a spot simply with a win. The Galaxy can finish anywhere from second to fifth – meaning they can go anywhere from a first-round bye to traveling for a Knockout Round match at midweek – coming off a 5-2 defeat by the Portland Timbers at StubHub Center last weekend.

SEATTLE SOUNDERS vs. LA GALAXY
CenturyLink Field, Seattle, Wash.
October 28, 2015 (2015 Audi MLS Cup Playoffs, Knockout Round)
10 p.m. ET (UniMás in US, TSN2, RDS2 in Canada, JOEtv)

The MLS Playoffs start tonight, and this game is going to be HUGE!

Any predictions for tonight's game?

LA Galaxy reportedly "close" to signing English World Cup veteran Ashley Cole

The Los Angeles Times reported on Monday that the LA Galaxy are "close" to announcing the signing of former England international defender Ashley Cole. Head coach Bruce Arena told the media on Monday that reports of the club's negotiations with the player, who is out of contract and was most recently with Italian giants Roma, are "fairly accurate."

Cole, 35, has not played a competitive match since March, when he made his 11th and final league appearance for Roma, although he did play in several summer friendlies. His contract with Roma was terminated in August, despite having one year left on the deal.

A veteran of three World Cup campaigns, Cole would be an interesting pickup for the Galaxy, perhaps answering some of the defensive questions brought on by the transfer of center back Omar Gonzalez. A lifelong left back, who starred for more than a decade with Arsenal and Chelsea in the English Premier League, Cole would presumably line up at his preferred position. This would force the versatile Robbie Rogers to shift to right back, which in turn would move A.J. DeLaGarza into a more permanent role at center back, where he has lined up on occasion over the past few years.

MLS IS BACK THIS SUNDAY!


LA GALAXY vs. D.C. UNITED
STUBHUB CENTER, Carson, Calif.

Will you be watching the first game of the season?

Galaxy vs DC United.

Think we take this 3-1.

Galaxy vs DC United.

Think we take this 3-1.

After both teams doing so poorly in Champions League against Liga MX clubs, this game should be some great relief for both teams.

3-1 sounds about right.

Horrendous start man

[ejftw]

Magee Shines in Return

Was off on my prediction, but I'll take it.

Hope Kennedy is ok, Rowe is solid, but I don't trust him yet. We can live without Gio if Magee returns to his old form.

Galaxy Injury Report

Dan Kennedy & Giovanni Dos Santos are out. Alan Gordon could return to the bench and Jelle van Damme may make his debut.

Galaxy Injury Report

Dan Kennedy & Giovanni Dos Santos are out. Alan Gordon could return to the bench and Jelle van Damme may make his debut.

I think LA may be dealing with a lot of injuries this season just based on the average age of their players.

[ejftw]

We will, however, I think Arena put the right amount of depth on our bench.

Just hoping Rowe/Kennedy both stay in shape and healthy

[ejftw]

Galaxy visit Colorado

No Dos Santos, no Kennedy, no Leonardo, but Gordon & Van Damme will be available.

Galaxy take it 2-nil behind Magee & Lletget.
