MLS Playoffs bracket- Road to the final

It's getting down to the wire in MLS, as American soccer fans salivate over the next round...the Conference Championships. After last nights win in the Home Depot Center defeating the NY Red bulls,  the LA Galaxy have progressed to the Western Conference to face Real Salt Lake.


Teal Bunbury and Sporting Kansas City have looked deadly, and in their battle against Brad Davis and the Houston Dynamo, I give them the advantage.  Defeating the Rapids of Colorado 4-0 on agg, I expect to see a Sporting KC vs. Galaxy final as they look tough to stop.

NY Redbulls vs. LA Galaxy MLS Playoff ends badly.

As you can see there was some sour grapes to the end of the match that finished 1-0 in the LA Galaxy's favor. When the final whistle sounded, Rafa Marquez of the Redbulls picked up the ball and chucked it strait at Landon Donovan, sparking a bench clearing skirmish. 


Mike Magee's 15th minute goal was the deciding moment in the game giving the Galaxy the leg-up in the two game series. Marques along with the Galaxy's Juninho were shown red for their part in the coming together.

Thierry Henry, Landon Donovan and David Beckham give their views on the events that 

happened after the game.
