The Galaxy: 2005 US Open Cup AND MLS Cup Champs!

Who would ever thought that an underachieving guy like Guillermo "Pando" Ramirez would be the unlikely hero and lead the Los Angeles Galaxy to their second MLS Cup crown? In overtime, Pando became the hero, and after the game, the LA Riot Squad flooded the field, Shooter, Gunner and the gang, to celebrate the win. the only drawback is that the unpopular manager, Steve Sampson, will be signed for the long haul due to the success. Now we expect him to lead us to Tokyo next December, and hang out with the likes of, I don't know, Liverpool and Sao Paolo, for example? I don't mind winning against those squads. We're there to be the best in the world.

As a Riot Squader. I can't be more prouder of the fact that our team is now the best soccer team in America. We didn't have the best record in regular season play in the West; heck, we barely got in. But this Galaxy team dug deep down the home sretch, defeating top ranked San Jose, Landon Donovan busting out a couple of goals against Colorado, and finally, Pando Ramirez becomes the man of the day, the MVP of the MLS Cup, with a beautiful goal past the keeper to life LA back to supremacy.

Next on the agenda...getting back the CONCACAF Champions Cup. The Riot Squad will be there to see that happen for sure! Congratulations Los Angeles for being the associated football capital of America once again!
