LAFC confident it can beat Leon in CONCACAF Champions League final

If you think of the two-leg CONCACAF Champions League final as a single 180-minute match, then it’s only halftime.

After 7 years of struggle, the Galaxy are soaring once again

The Galaxy have gotten their groove back. Less than a year ago the team was being boycotted by its three main supporters groups and being booed off the field by the fans who did show up. It had no spirit, little hope and just one win in its first 10 MLS games. But after Saturday’s […]
