The Galaxy followed up an impressive win in Seattle with a puzzling draw at home vs the lowly Revolution.

The defending champions dominated the expansion Timbers before giving up a meaningless goal late in the game.

A late goal by teenage sensation Agudelo salvaged a victory versus the struggling Sounders.

New addition Omar Bravo dazzled the league with his two goals and makes the former Wizards a MLS contender.

The most talked about match south of the border with return of Charlie Davies also showed how dangerous United may be this year.
