Last year the Galaxy took a trip to Australia and lost a friendly game to Sydney FC. According to a news.com.au article, the Galaxy plan to return to Australia this coming November for another friendly. This time they will meet Queensland Roar in Brisbane. The article says:

Beckham and his LA Galaxy side will play Queensland Roar at Suncorp Stadium in November as part of the cashed-up American Major Soccer League club’s end-of-season tour.

Now I started to wonder exactly when the season ends. I don’t think many teams are going to want to start playing games the very week after a long season comes to an end. It looks like the regular season ends on Sunday, October 26th. The playoffs will continue up to the MLS Cup which will be played on Sunday, November 23rd.

So I assume if the article is correct, the Galaxy are already planning on either not getting into the playoffs, or at least not getting too far into the playoffs. Sounds like a good plan. But then - who has ever accused the Galaxy of good planning when it comes to their friendly schedules?
