I mean ever League has that one or two teams that every one resents that isnt a fan of that team. NFL the Cowboys and Patroits, NBA Celtice and Lakers, MLB Yankees and Braves, MLS Galaxy and DC United. will this make the LA GALAXY the most hated team outside of Galaxy fans.

I think it's just further proof of corruption in the entire region of CONCACAF... And once again, Canadians are screwed over by poor refereeing. We can't catch a break at the club or national level... At least the ratings will be good for MLS I suppose...

Besides, It was a Friday and most of us could barely make it because of work. That is the reason why the stadium was not at full capacity. Another thing, I do not see Beckham coming to th e MLS and playing in another city so I think that coming to Hollywood was part of his incentive to leave Europe.

When i first saw this i was like why would the MLS want to put a Big mls all or nothing 2 of the best teams in the MLS game on at 11pm eastern time. Its because the League did not want all of America to see how low the league would go to get the Galaxy to the MLS CUP. and if you notice everytime the Dynamo started getting hot the lights would go off. you know what else i just notice the late time the game started.

LA Galaxy deserved the win. It is the best team and has the best US player (10) and the best foreign player (23) in the League. Check how Houston played the last part of the season. They should have been eliminated by Seattle. Go LA Galaxy. Stop crying. LA Galaxy deserved the win. It is the best team and has the best US player (10) and the best foreign player (23) in the League.

From basically creating rules, DP comes to mind, to altering those rules, the Landon exception to the salary cap comes to mind, and finally tonight we see how far the MLS and Don Garber will sink to deliver the Galaxy to the MLS cup. I haven't talked to anyone yet even Galaxy fans who don't believe the Hainalt goal should have stood, but then the Dynamo would have won in regulation and the MLS couldn't have that. If the MLS really wanted to grow the league they wouldn't have sunk to this level. I have been telling everyone in Houston this week to watch the game because it is the best chance the city has of winning another championship. This I did to try and help the team and the league grow, because I love soccer and want to see the game grow. But after tonight's MLS performance I don't know if I will be able to get any of them to watch another MLS Game. And the fact that ESPN didn't say a word about how absurd this was, simply proved my point. MLS wanted Beckham in the final, and they got him, but they lost at least one viewer. So, Thank you MLS, Thank you Don Garber, Thank you ESPN, For discrediting any shred of credibility and relevance soccer had in America.

Was the MLS so Desparate to have a Beckham vs Blanco MLS CUP that the league would influence the game. That would explain some of the wierd calls called against Columbus in the REAL SALT LAKE game. i hope its not me just looking for a conspircy theory. ok i feel like houston got cheated. does anyone else feel that way. i mean houston scored the game winning goal and it gets called back on a phantom call.
