Pardon my civic pride, but....

Landon Donovan goes out on a huge roll as the Los Angeles Galaxy win their fifth Major League Soccer (MLS) Cup with a 2-1 win over the New England Revolution at the StubHub Center in Carson:

Congrats.

It was a hard-fought match, given that it went into double overtime, and that the winning goal didn't come until there were only 7 1/2 minutes left in the second OT. I should, however, give my respects to the Revolution, because they played a great game and they fought the good fight.

I would say that I don't think it's over for the Galaxy as a winning soccer club; they've got good players waiting in the wings to carry on the tradition and make soccer a legitimate sport here in America for real.
