Congratulations to 2011 MLS Champions, L.A. Galaxy

mlscup2011

The Beckham era in MLS soccer may have ended, but it ended in absolute fine fashion for the 36 year old Englishman. On Sunday November 20, the L.A. Galaxy beat out the Houston Dynamo 1-0 to capture the 2011 MLS Cup.

In the 72nd minute, the 3 Galaxy designated players teamed up for a fine Landon Donovan finish following a gorgeous build-up from Beckham and Robbie Keane.

The event saw the LA Galaxy capturing their 3rd MLS Cup since joining the league in 1995 and the Houston Dynamo losing their first MLS Championship since winning back to back championships in 2006 – 2007.

Reds Ride On Gordon Goals

tfclogo Alan Gordon canceled out what would have been a match-winner from Juan Pablo Ángel as Toronto FC and the LA Galaxy tied 2-2 at The Home Depot Center on Saturday.

Gordon scored goals in the 68th minute as well as three minutes into second-half stoppage time, while Chris Birchall scored in the 2nd minute with Ángel knocking a goal into the back of the net in the 90th minute.

Things got off to a great start for the Galaxy. Just two minutes in, López held the ball on the left side of the penalty area and slipped it over to the right side of the box, where an unmarked Birchall raced in to meet and fired a shot on goal. Reds goalie Stefan Frei got a hand to the ball but it had too much pace on it and found the back of the net.
