Galaxy win the MLS Cup

mlscup_champs.jpgLandon Donovan scored in the 72nd minute Sunday night at Home Depot Center and that was all the Galaxy needed to top Houston and win the championship of Major League Soccer. "I've wanted to be successful for the Galaxy for five years, and tonight, I have that," said David Beckham, one of the imports who gave the Galaxy the league's most expensive roster. "It's been the most enjoyable time of my career in America over the last year, and this just tops it off. I've said before, I need to sit back and relax and enjoy this moment, and then I'll figure out what I'm going to do next year. I might talk in the past tense sometimes, but that doesn't mean I'm leaving. It's been an amazing five years."
