Sound off: The Seattle Sounders succumbed to Real Salt Lake Wednesday (AP Photo). That would be 2009 MLS Cup champion Real Salt Lake, should the Galaxy see off the New York Red Bulls Thursday at Home Depot Center. Despite failing to score in the first half, the Sounders made a game of it in the second 45 minute stint, but fell short and lost to Real Salt Lake 3-2 in the Western Conference semifinal.

No Landon Donovan for this game, and Juan Pablo Angel's first chance to face the Galaxy since he left, and since leaving turned himself into a regular goal machine. Galaxy nearly score in the first minute when Chad Barrett rounded the keeper, but had his shot cleared off the line by in-rushing defenders. The Galaxy keep pressuring mainly through Beckham's steady provision of curling balls into the box from the right wing, although most of his moves start from the middle of the park in his now...Read Full Story

Beckham is back in the starting line up for the first time in a few weeks after the prolonged back injury, and after playing just 20 minutes last week. The first half demonstrated the ability by both teams to launch swift attacks, but the final delivery was missing and there were pitifully few shots, and even fewer that caused the 'keepers any concern. At half time, the dull 0-0 score reflected the play which held little entertainment value. The closest chance falling to a Chicago header...Read Full Story

Donovan Ricketts returns to The Galaxy after breaking his arm back in June, and keeps a clean sheet proving that The Galaxy have two top class goalkeepers available once more. Beckham managed to keep himself out of the referees notebook, but did take a knock in the second half, landing heavily on his back which may agitate the back spasm problems which apparently are still a problem. He made his usual contribution of long-range pinpoint balls and clever passes including a telling pass for the...Read Full Story

FC Dallas falls out of our top tier after a disappointing loss to Sporting Kansas City. A bit of a wild week in MLS resulted in a fair amount of shuffling in the Week 13 SB Nation Power Rankings. The most significant moves were the New York Red Bulls moving back into the Top Tier and FC Dallas falling down into Tier 2 after their nine-match unbeaten streak was snapped. Other significant moves included DC United falling from Tier 2 into Tier 3 after losing at home to the San Jose...Read Full Story

The Portland Timbers’ tie at home to the Red Bulls keeps them moving down our charts, while Sporting Kansas City is a team on the rise. There wasn’t a whole bunch of movement this week, but a clear trend is emerging: The Los Angeles Galaxy are clearly the favorites. Real Salt Lake now appears in the top tier of a season low 88 percent of ballots, and the New York Red Bulls and FC Dallas are just a vote short of the top tier. Otherwise, it was mostly movement within tiers. Sporting Kansas...Read Full Story
