Team: LA Galaxy
Best Case Scenario: MLS Cup, again.
Worst Case Scenario: Early round playoff exit. I don't see this team missing the playoffs unless they get railroaded by a bunch of freak injuries or something.
Fan Favorite: It's gotta be Keane. DeLaGarza too, given his personal/family tragedy last year.
Young Player To Look Out For On Your Team: No idea. I nailed this last year with Zardes, but I don't think any of the n00bs with LA will make that kind of impact this year.
Player You Would Like To Drive To Another Club: There isn't anybody I really don't like. Penedo is feast or famine, so when he's having "one of those days," I want to drag him out back and shoot him.
Opposition Player You Secretly Admire: Lampard. Not a secret.
I also like Zusi, because fuck @
Travis7401
Opposition Player You Openly Despise: Steven Lenhart. This answer won't change until he retires.
Opposing MLS Team You Respect: Seattle. Love the fan support, and despite being rivals to my local teams, I've always had a soft spot for Seattle sports -- M's, Sonics (RIP), Sounders, and obviously the Seahawks. That being said, I "hate" the Sounders when they're playing the Galaxy. And I never "hate" the M's when they're playing the Angels, or "hated" the Sonics when they played the Lakers.
Opposing MLS Team You Despise: [Seattle. If you have ever talked to a Sounders fan, you'll know why.] <--re: Snorky's answer. He's dead on regarding Sounders fans. I just said I admire their fan support as a whole, but a 1-on-1 soccer conversation with a Sounders fan can be torture.
Do You Have The Right Owner: Yep.
Do You Have The Right Manager: Yep.
What Advice Do You Have For The Manager: I hope there's a "backup" plan for the offense besides just Gerrard-to-Keane. They're old. Shit can tear, break, sprain, etc.
What Is The One Thing You Would Change At Your Club: The third kit. I know it's meant to honor to old uniforms, but it's still ugly.
What Is The One Thing You Would Change In MLS: Careful with the rapid expansion. This league is growing nicely, but it's still not the NFL or NBA. Don't deplete the talent too much by spreading it across 100 teams.
Where Will You Finish: Top 3 in the West.
Who Wins MLS Cup: I'll say L.A., without much conviction though. If you're forcing me to bet on "will LA win it?" I'd probably say no. But I don't know which other team I'd give better odds than LA.
Will An MLS Team Win The CONCACAF Champions League:
How Far Will The United States Go At The Women's World Cup: I have no idea. I pay attention to the Womens team during WC's only, honestly.
Will The United States Win The Gold Cup: Sure, why not. It's 50-50 between us and the Messicans, obviously.
