With that crazy long overtime win last night over the Houston Dynamo the Galaxy book their place in the MLS Cup final for the 6th time in the young league’s history. 6 happens to be the most any team has played for the MLS Cup. DC United has been there 5 times. A win for the Galaxy would still have them trailing DC United by one in the category on how many MLS Cups they have won. DC has 4, this would only be the Galaxy’s third.
So who would be the better match up for the Galaxy in the Final? Chicago Fire or Real Salt Lake?

With only a single game remaining in the regular season (with the exception of Chivas USA having 2 games) the Galaxy are on top of the Western Conference. That top spot currently has them tied on points (45) along with Houston Dynamo and Chivas USA. All 3 teams have sealed a spot in the MLS Cup Playoffs. Seattle Sounders FC have also claimed a spot from the West only 1 point behind the leaders at 44.
This is what the Western Conference looks like today:
45 Los Angeles
45 Houston
45 Chivas USA
44 Seattle
40 Colorado
39 FC Dallas
37 Real Salt Lake
30 San Jose
The Galaxy finish up the season on with the San Jose Earthquakes at home. A win will ensure them at least a top 2 position in the West if not the #1 seed from the West. The Galaxy have tiebreakers but Chivas USA still have a game in hand.
Likely 1st round opponents could be the Colorado Rapids, FC Dallas, or Seattle Sounders FC. Who do you hope to see the Galaxy take out in the first round of the MLS Cup Playoffs?
