Normally, I would not write a thread about the LA Galaxy. Never liked them. I was a more of a New England Revolution guy. But now, I've seen that LA has got their act together.

Good with the Bad:

Cienfuegos retired. He was getting on in years, but still was a solid player. With their allocation, they bought the rights to Jovan Kirovski. Jovan has had some of the best football education, being through the youth ranks of Borussia Dortmund, Sporting Lisbon and Manchester United. He spent the past two years with Birmingham in the EPL.

The LA Galaxy inked their front man, Cobi Jones. Again, a great player, especially for the community.

Andreas Herzog, 35, played last season with Rapid Vienna in the T-Mobile Bundesliga. I can't really condemn them. Herzog still has the skills and experience, but may have lost some of his mobility, due to his age.

Jurgen Klinnsman was added to the Galaxy staff.

It's going to be a great season for LA. I'd like to see them get a little more experience, playing the top teams in the world.

They usually are the team to beat every year, last year was a little bit disapointing. They get pretty much every major signing in the MLS, and have a wonderful stadium.

DC United takes the European (Lower Countries: Holland, Belgium) and develops youth. If they MLS carries on like this, I see it forming into a top league.

After a disappointing playoff game at San Jose, I will expect better despite Mauricio's retirement...

I am a Galaxy fan, BTW...

I hope so...

Especially after last season's collapse (in the playoffs) in San Jose...
