USC isnt playing tomorrow (well... today, but still), so the Galaxy would have zero local sports competition (just checked, Lakers and Clippers both have tomorrow off).

They tied it up at the end of the 3rd.

As for the game, pretty good so far. Donovan should have been booked for his temper tantrum after he threw the guy to the ground. Maybe they should give Ricketts a book to read back there, cuz he's not really doing much.

They do, but backup generators only last so long, especially for floodlights that take TONS of power.

Look at how everything else in the stadium is still lit up. Floodlights take forever to come back on once turned off.

Apparently parts of LA have been experiencing rolling blackouts all night.

Is this actually a blackout though? I mean, the TV truck is still up and running, and most facilities like this have power for said trucks (there are very few venues in professional sports which require TV crews to bring gennys any more).

Plus, all the ad boards are still running.

I think they just blew the floodlights.

Yeah this is the type of game i think the league wants to avoid. Unless the idea was to have it as a late night broadcast / sedative measure.

Terrible terrible tactical play. I think i'm watching a 1970's series A team here. God i hope houston scores,

great coaching, take out strikers minutes before penalties and replace them with midfielders... this is like in baseball taking out the power hitting .350 first baseman for a journeyman utility infielder batting .200 for "defencive purposes".. only to lose the game with the bases loaded at the bottom of the 9th

I mean even the Championship has two legged ties before a final at Wembley -- but even if there were four teams, for eight, it can't be that hard?

Week 1 - Wednesday 1st legs, Saturday 2nd legs
Week 2 - Tuesday-Thursday night 1st legs, Saturday 2nd legs
Week 3 - Neutral location final.

That's 13 matches. The way it is right now is 11. It's only two more matches, and for some teams that could mean a lot more cash in their coffers.

Think about it -- RSL got their 1st leg at home vs. Cowlumpass, then they went to PissStain City, and now off to Shitcago before a possible trip to Seattle. A game at home could hurt, but could also motivate the team.

i'm all for a two-leg second round, as long as the season doesnt get longer. its exhausting for the casual fan to follow. less is more, like the nfl and its' 16 game regular seasons.
