Last Night the MLS Cup Final was played Galaxy vs. Real Salt Lake... it was truly a a nail biting game... The game ended in a tie (1-1) leading to penalties where Galaxy lost 4 - 5 making Real Salt Lake the new MLS Champions... Well what can I say except that I kinda knew this would happen after Galaxy began to fall back and defend instead of attacking... Once Galaxy was in the lead they decided to fall back and guard the ball... That technique didn't work out so well because Real Salt Lake kept pushing and pushing forward until they tied the game... The penalties were killers... it was so hard to watch... David Beckham was the first to go and of course he didn't disappoint... however, Donovan was a whole another story... And well the rest is history... It really didn't matter that Galaxy was the better and favorite team at the end the only thing that counts are the goals that go in the net... And well Galaxy just couldn't bring home the Cup... But good news after the game... David Beckham said that he plans on staying another season... thats good news... for all Galaxy Fans...

Updates on Cristiano Ronaldo... and Real Madrid...
Well things haven't been so great for Real Madrid... After Cristiano Ronaldo suffered an injury in his ankle Real Madrid has been struggling to get back on its feet. The world's most expensive player has missed Madrid's last 13 matches and Portugal's World Cup play-offs. However, Cristiano Ronaldo is said to be back next week... It is also said by the official Real Madrid website that Cristiano Ronaldo will be playing against Barcelona... The game we have all... well maybe not all... maybe just us super Madrid and Barcelona fans have been waiting for... the day we put on our jerseys and cheer for our team... Crossing our fingers that our team wins... to later rub it on the opponents face.. The day we cheer out loud and sing for our team... The day we call out off from work, miss school or wake up at 2 in the morning to see the game... A ll Madrid fans including myself truly hope that Cristiano Ronaldo will be ready by next week to begin playing. Real Madrid will be playing the weekend of the 22nd of November against Racing Santander, definitely a great game but if Cristiano Ronaldo is not back it could end up bad. Real Madrid depends a lot on the worlds best player but why wouldnt they... if he has shown that he can deliver a winning game pretty much all the time. I am a huge Cristiano Ronaldo fan... and before Cristiano Ronaldo I was a Madrid fan, never really a Manchester but I did follow because of Cristiano Ronaldo and now that Cristiano Ronaldo plays for Real Madrid it is amazing, but now that he is injured and that Madrid is losing it is heart breaking... However, now that the news are out and Cristiano Ronaldo will be returning there is hope for all Madrid and Cristiano Ronaldo fans. I cant wait for the Clasico Real Madrid vs. Barcelona... The game that everyone waits is only getting closer and closer... Now I just hope that Cristiano Ronaldo is 100 percent ready to go for that game... and that we smash... Barcelona... well until then
!!!!!HALA MADRID!!!!!

Galaxy The New Western Conference Champion
Galaxy is the *NEW* Western Conference Champion and Real Salt Lake is the New Eastern Conference Champion of the Major League Soccer. On The 21st of November Galaxy will play against Real Salt Lake in Seattle for the Major League Championship. Both teams are in great shape but I must say that I think that Galaxy will win. The way they have been playing lately has shown that Galaxy is no longer an individual team but a team compose of 11 players in the field. However, we can not under estimate Real Salt Lake after the great match they played against Chicago Fire defeating the in a close game that went onto penalties winning 5-4. The game will be very close, I will most likely be biting my nails and crossing my fingers for Galaxy to score the first and final goal making them the New MLS Champions. With David Beckham playing in the mid and Donovan playing forward we should have no problems bring the Victory back to L.A...

Donovan Safes the Day...
Chivas USA vs. Galaxy semi-finals were played last night and what a game. In the 69th minute the best play of the game happen when David Beckham gave an incredible pass using only 3 toes... The pass was perfect right to Landon Donovan's feet who then passed it to Magie and was fouled by Chivas USA defender. The referee called a penalty kick that was taken by non-other than Landon Donovan, and in it went... Goooalllllll!!!!! changing the score to 0 - 1 Galaxy... Galaxy is in the Finals and will be playing against Houston Dynamite this Friday for the Western Conference Championship. Galaxy has a really good chances of winning if they keep playing the way they have been. It is amazing to see how well David Beckham is playing despite the bad press and the bad welcoming he has had these past few months, he has definitely picked up his game. His soccer skills remind me of the old Beckham the one that everyone wanted to see... it's sad that he will be leaving and heading back to AC Milan. If you had asked me three months ago what I thought about Beckham leaving I probably would have said it was a good idea, but now that he is playing so well it will be sad to see him go... But lets not get to far ahead of ourselves... there is still a game pending this friday against Huston Dynamite...

Bad Sportsmanship...
Well it happen again... Once again someone has take an aggressive but clean sport and made it aggressively ugly. Going in hard is part of the game, "Play Hard or Go Home" is often said when playing a physical sport. But there's a fine line between physical and dirty, and well in this case I have to go with that was just plain dirty. That kind of physical contact can lead to an altercation which is why they have suspended her for the whole season and well forever from the game. She went from defending the ball to... well I'm actuallly not sure what she was defending??? But just imagine playing against her... wow... I'm sure after the world has seen her play... No one would want to play against her... I'm also bit surprise that the opponent didn't respond to the hair pulling, however, it was a good thing she didn't, because by falling on the ground she was able to make things a bit more dramatic and get her point across...
