The Galaxy just wrapped up a rare 3 points by beating the Houston Dynamo. The Dynamo are currently on top of the West and have the best record in the league.
The difference in the game came in the 24th minute when Todd Dunivant scored his first goal of the year assisted by Mike Magee.
This big win won’t move the Galaxy up any positions in the conference standings, but it does bring them within striking distance of Real Salt Lake and the Colorado Rapids.

On the other side of the globe the US MNT played Brazil in the Confederations Cup final. This was the first appearance for the United States in a final of a FIFA tournament ever. They started out great and took a 2-0 lead into halftime, but Brazil was too much in the 2nd half and they were able to come out with a 3-2 victory over the US. Donovan was my player of the tournament for the US but Clint Dempsey and Tim Howard both won awards.
Landon Donovan and the rest of the United States national team made history today. After a poor start with 3-1 and 3-0 losses to Italy and Brazil the United States has done the unthinkable. They somehow managed to beat a tough Egypt team 3-0 while Brazil did exactly the same to Italy to slip the US into the semi-finals as the 2nd place team in the group by way of total goals scored tiebreaker.
