Another win, playoff hopes still alive

posted by kidpurple October 14, 2007

The Galaxy downed Toronto FC last night at the Home Deopt Center to keep their win streak and playoff hopes alive.  With 2 wins they will play in the post season.  A loss in either of their remaining games will end their season.  This is the current standings:

Chicago Fire 37 (1) [40]
Kansas City Wizards 37 (1) [40]
Columbus Crew 34 (1) [37]
LA Galaxy 33 (2) [39]
Colorado 32 (2) [38]

The last bracket is the maximum points for the team if they finish their season with nothing but wins.  The only thing that keeps the Galaxy alive is the fact that they play Chicago on the last day of the regular season.

Galaxy Remaining Schedule:
Thursday Oct 18: New York Red Bulls
Sunday Oct 21: @ Chicago Fire

Galaxy Win Again, Moving Towards Playoffs

posted by kidpurple October 1, 2007

After going down 1-0 to the Columbus Crew in the 2nd minute, Troy Robers and Kyle Martino each scored a goal to bring the Galaxy level and then take the lead that they didn’t give up.  This 2-1 win over the Crew was a very big win as the Crew will be one of the other teams fighing for the playoffs.

A Crew victory could have positioned them above the Chicago Fire by 1 point for the last playoff spot, but right now the Fire hold the last spot with 33 points.  The Galaxy are at 27 with a game in hand.  Between the two are the Rapids at 29 and the Crew at 31.  The Galaxy have a game in hand over all these teams.
