Will LA keep defensive pace? Sounders vs Galaxy - 2nd Leg.


What an expectation for tonight's game! How about all the excitement we have seen in the other 3 playoffs games? Amazing how, in all cases, we had to wait until minute 90 plus aggregate (or penalty kicks) to have a little rest. Well, Seattle and Los Angeles should promise even more tonight at 9:00 PM ET.

I think Seattle plays the most exciting football lately, maybe because all the inspiration they have with 30,000 or more excited fans in every game at Qwest Field. They even showed it in the 1st leg game last week, but Galaxy played remarkable defense when it was all inspiration from Ricketts passing by Omar Gonzalez to Kovalenko. Even with this great defense Sounders tried all the way attempting offensive squares and making long passes to the speedy Nyassi and Zakuani and really showed it. That is why I think Seattle is going to keep trying tonight and the Galaxy had to show an outstanding defensive performance once again to stop them.

On the Galaxy side we saw David Beckham included in most of the plays but they were lacking of a guy that could strike it in the net although the highlight reel self created by Edson Buddle saved LA that night. Juninho needs to win the battle against Alonso in order to contribute to the offense and Donovan would have to show more in attack specially if Sounders manage to score early.

The Home Depot Center also will play an important role tonight, this famous player number 12 that every team needs might pace the great green offense down and be vital to push the Galaxy to the West Finals against Dallas.
