The Los Angeles Galaxy head into Sunday on a major roll, with Landon Donovan back in form and the club rebounding well from the loss of defender Leonardo, but a road trip to Frisco, Texas awaits against a dangerous FC Dallas side (7pm, Galavision).
Dallas begins life without David Ferreira, who is out with a broken ankle. FC Dallas will be leaning heavily on Fabian Castillo and Eric Avila to help make up for the creativity lost by Ferreira's injury.
The Galaxy's defense will look to shut down the home team and increase its lead atop the Western Conference after previously-unbeaten Real Salt Lake lost on Saturday.

Enjoy the match.
Lame stoppage with less than 8 minutes to go…This isn’t baseball. Very amateurish move. The rhythm of the match was lost. Then Arena subs out Beckham and Angel for Birchell and Kirovski…Bloody Brilliant!
I was there. It was raining on and off all night. At around the 60th minute or so, the PA announcer said that they were expecting heavy rains in 20 minutes. The score was tied 1-1, with that fantastic Castillo goal, and the go-for-broke-wrap-your-body-around-the-post goal from LD. So I guess people figured that they had seen 2 goals already and the game was only going to get sloppier. Players were falling on the run, especially those with a “high center of gravity” (Shea). When the clouds opened up, and the game was paused, thats when everyone left. It was sold out, people watched in the rain. Just not in the monsoon. Great result for FCD. Welcome to Dallas Mr. Castillo.
I saw some of the highlights on MLSsoccer and at first I thought there was a fan match ban because the stadium looked completely empty. But then I realized it was raining and people don’t usually like to watch soccer in the rain.
Major +1
cannibal ferox too. one of the greatest cannibal films ever made. As for Pelada, can that be rented now? I doubt it. By the way, the Galaxy WERE ROBBED!!!!
They totally had the momentum before the ref stopped play. Was that Toledo? And yes, they should’ve paid Buddle DP-type dough given that he had scoring proweress with Columbus before LA.
Since I don’t have Twitter this is the only way I can say thank you to you Ives for posting on twitter (which thankfully is on the side tab of your web site) the great news about Osama Bin Ladin. If not then I would not have heard the great news since I don’t watch any major news networks.
They used the DP slot to sign JPA instead of re-signing Buddle. Do some homework.
Yeah! Shea!!!!!
Whhaaaa!!!!???? Shea!!!!!
Here we go. C’mon Dallas – time to steal 3 points!
Whats the link for the game online?
according to FC Dallas’s twitter, teams are back on the field. 10 minutes to warm up and then they’ll play the rest of the game.
Ya I couldn’t finish it
I DVR’d the NJ vs Boston WPS game. Not bad. Goalkeepers making nice saves.
Cannibal Holocaust

I’ve heard about that movie and I don’t need any nightmares. 🙂
will the game be called off?
Human centipede
Did you ever see the movie Pelada? Every soccer fanatic should watch it.
Im going to rent a movie, any suggestions?
I think the rules state that in this case each team picks one player and they finish the game on FIFA11.
so what happens? do they just say it was a 1-1 game, or do they replay it, or will they play the last 7 minutes at some point?
I have an english feed (lucky me). Teams to the lockerooms to wait out the storm. Can you say 30 minutes of stoppage time.
From what I understand some of the lights have gone out at the venue. In addition, the storm is gathering strength (lightning) and the referee decided it was to dangerous to keep playing.
Thanks. DO they expect to restart?
There is a strong storm about to hit the Frisco area according to the Weather Channel website
For those who do NOT speak Spanish…
Game has been postponed for lightening.
Lightning in the area.
Lightning storm maybe? the only reason I can see them calling the game.
Did they just call the game??
Can someone translate what’s going on? Thanks
Wait… is the game being called? Whats going on?
What a sloppy game. It looks like its raining hard. Both teams are having trouble maintaining possession.
Great, Galavision lost the feed.
Either that, or Hartman put in a little more gel than normal.
It might be raining there.
The first. Looks to me like Castillo as a lone striker and Avila is in Ferreira’s spot.
Haha real talk buddy
Juninho
Beckham went for goal off the corner kick. Nice.
Was that Beckham who played that ball into Landon?
Gooooooooooaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllll de Castillo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Because they didn’t have room for another DP.
What formation did Schellas put out? Is Castillo alone up top and Avi filling into Ferriera’s role, or did he put out a 4-4-2?
haha it’s halftime and there’s only 4 comments. hasn’t been a fun game to watch.
Why didn’t the Galaxy just pay Buddle what he deserved?
LA has the world’s greatest passer of this generation on the field and they have probably the worst field spacing of any MLS team.
Why does dallas play such a defensive formation? They have attacking talent but its hard to score when you’re not playing any true strikers.
Pretty even so far. I love Avi, but you can see what Ferriera brings on the breaks that Avi doesn’t.
Barrett with the heavy feet again.
