Galaxy in alignment
Everything is in place for a Hollywood ending to Landon Donovan’s career. Donovan and the LA Galaxy are playing for the MLS Cup title on their home field today. League MVP Robbie Keane and his talented teammates are determined to send Donovan into early retirement with the franchise’s record fifth championship. “If anyone deserves to go out on a high, it’s certainly Landon,” Keane said. The only obstacles to this big finish are the New England Revolution. After a late-season surge coinciding with the arrival of U.S. World Cup star Jermaine Jones, the Revs are rolling toward the first MLS Cup victory for one of the league’s original franchises. – AP
