Galaxy vs. Roma FC

Well the starting line up has been set and the game is hours away as the LA Galaxy take on USASA amateurs Roma FC of Dallas, TX in the 2006 Lamar Hunt Open Cup.

Donovan, and Strugis not scheduled to play and Cobi is supposed to play left-back, yes left-back, tonight. Though we expect the Galaxy to win, anything can happen as we've seen LAG play down to other team's level. What's the score going to be? I predict 1-0 LAG.

In case you need a little review of the open cup, here it is:

The Open Cup, the U.S. Soccer Federation's national championship, is an annual competition open to all amateur and professional soccer teams affiliated with the USSF. The U.S. Open Cup dates back to 1914 when the Brooklyn Field Club won the first national title by defeating the Brooklyn Celtics in Pawtucket, R.I. It was first named the National Challenge Cup and run by the United States Football Association, and was on England's Football Association Cup." In 1999, the U.S. competition was named to honor soccer pioneer Lamar Hunt. Last year, the LA Galaxy won the US Open Cup and the MLS Championship.
