The LA Galaxy are going into the playoffs with the #1 position from the West. That means they will play rivals Chivas USA on Saturday, November 1st and Sunday, November 8th. The Galaxy won the regular season series over Chivas USA 2-0-1 with one scoreless draw and two 1-0 victories.
After disposing of Chivas USA the Galaxy will go on to face the winner of Houston Dynamo and Seattle Sounders FC in the conference finals. Who would you rather win between those two?
That is right, the 2004 MLS Cup MVP is making his way from Chivas USA over to the Galaxy! What a move. In order to make room for Alecko the Galaxy had to cut Josh Tudela. A lot of people will be sad to see him go.
According to the official press release the Galaxy game up some money and a conditional pick in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft to get Eskandarian. The striker was the first overall draft pick by DC United in the 2003 MLS SuperDraft and had a good 4 years with DC United. Between his time with DC United and now the LA Galaxy Eskandarian has played with Toronto FC, Real Salt Lake, and Chivas USA.
This 26 year old striker could have many great years in this league – and maybe even with US MTN – which he has a single cap for already.
How big of an impact will Alecko be able to make with the Galaxy?
