Bruce Areana has dominated at the college level, ran the most successful team in Major League Soccer during its first years, and had a pretty good career with the National Team. His little time spent with the Galaxy has resembled his stay with the New York Red Bulls more than any of the other mentioned coaching jobs.
But no reason to fear. If the Galaxy can go on a run like they started to at the beginning of last year – they should be just fine. With 4 games left in their schedule they are only 5 points behind the last playoff position.
The Galaxy currently have 29 points. Real Salt Lake is in 8th place with 34 points. Assuming Real Salt Lake contine to gain ~1.3 points per game (their average for the season) they will be up ~5.2 but we’ll round up to 6. So RSL goes to 40 points. All the Galaxy have to do is win 4 games and they will be at 41 – and likely in the playoffs!
No problem! Except for that last game of the season. At least it won’t be Chicago this year.
