LA Galaxy vs New England Revolution
Saturday, March 31st, 2012
The Home Depot Center
Kick-off: 8:00 p.m
The LA Galaxy return to action at the Home Depot Center this Saturday when they host the New England Revolution. LA is coming off a 3-1 victory against DC United, which saw the Galaxy complete a near-perfect game that was only blemished by the goal given up late in the match. The Galaxy created many scoring opportunities throughout the game, but unlike the games against Real Salt Lake and Toronto, they were able to convert their chances. From early on the Galaxy attack seemed dangerous, but it wasn’t until late in the first half when they were able to break the deadlock and go up 1-0. Robbie Keane scored a brace (his first in MLS) and Marcelo Sarvas scored his first MLS goal since arriving to the club during the offseason. More importantly, the defense showed some improvement compared to the previous three games, going 87 minutes without conceding a goal. Maintaining a clean sheet will definitely be a priority this weekend.
In their home opener this past weekend, New England defeated the Portland Timbers 1-0. An early goal thirty seconds in was enough for the Revolution to capture its first three points of the season. The Galaxy had the week off, finally getting some rest after playing four games in twelve days. Bruce Arena finally had a good amount of time to train with pretty much a full squad, since offseason loans did not allow that leading up to the first couple of games of the season. Coming into this game the LA Galaxy is currently eighth place in the Western Conference, having only played two games, while the Revolution is 6th in the Eastern. These two clubs met twice during preseason in the Desert Diamond Cup Tournament. New England won the first encounter while the Galaxy (playing mostly with substitutes) won the tournament final in penalty kicks.

LA Galaxy vs DC United
Sunday, March 18, 2012
The Home Depot Center
Kick-off: 4 p.m
*Pre-Game MLS Cup Ring Ceremony
The defending MLS Cup champions LA Galaxy will play their fourth game in twelve days when they host DC United at the Home Depot Center. This past Saturday LA suffered its first home defeat since November 2010 at the hands of Real Salt Lake, and a few days later once again fell to Toronto in CCL. The team had not lost back to back games at home since August 2010. After being eliminated by TFC in the CONCACAF Champions League, the Galaxy has no choice but to shift all focus into MLS play.
The team has faced defensive problems that were not present during the past couple of seasons. Take a look at preseason scores:
LA Galaxy 7-2 LA Blues
LA Galaxy 1-4 Portland
LA Galaxy 0-1 Houston
LA Galaxy 0-3 Montreal
LA Galaxy 3-2 Chivas USA
LA Galaxy 2-3 New England
LA Galaxy 2-0 Real Salt Lake
LA Galaxy 1-2 New York
LA Galaxy 0-0 New England
That’s 17 goals given up during preseason. So far, the team has given up seven goals total against Toronto in the Champions League and RSL in the home opener.
DC United also started its MLS season with a defeat, falling 0-1 to Sporting KC at RFK Stadium. In their two meetings last year LA and DC played to 1-1 and 0-0 draws. The game at RFK is probably most remembered for Charlie Davies’ dive late in the game that allowed DC United to tie the game. DC United will be without goalkeeper Bill Hamid and Perry Kitchen, while Michael Stephens won’t be available for the Galaxy, all three attending the US U-23 Training Camp. The Galaxy’s next game will be March 31st at home against New England.

CCL QF: LA Galaxy vs Toronto FC
Wednesday, March 14, 2012
Home Depot Center
Kick-off: 7 p.m
On Wednesday the LA Galaxy hosts Toronto FC in the second and decisive leg of CCL Quarterfinals. In the first leg played at Rogers Centre last week, the Galaxy was able to come back from a 2-0 deficit to tie the game at 2. Highly praised for their solid defense last season, LA gave up two goals within just 17 minutes and found themselves with their back against the wall early in the game.
The Galaxy was able to recover and cut Toronto’s lead before the half, after Mike Magee scored when Stefan Frei was unable to control Sean Franklin’s cross. In the 88th minute Landon Donovan scored the equalizer after a series of bounces off David Beckham’s corner kick. After the final whistle blew, it was LA that came out with the positive result. Not only does the Galaxy get to close the series at the Home Depot Center, but the two away goals the team scored in Toronto means that a 0-0 or 1-1 draw will see the Galaxy advance, while only a 2-2 draw sends the game to overtime and possibly penalty kicks.
A win by either side will send them to semifinals to meet the winners of the Seattle Sounders vs Santos Laguna fixture, where the MLS side currently has a 2-1 lead. LA will come into this game days after losing to Real Salt Lake in their first game of the season, where 9 out the 11 starters saw action in last week’s CCL game. This will be the Galaxy’s third competitive game in a week, while Toronto has not made their 2012 MLS debut yet.
This Is LA!
