The latest piece of silverware topped a successful 2011 campaign undertaken by the Galaxy. The team won the Western Conference Championship en route to the MLS Cup title
In addition, the team won the Supporters’ Shield by leading the regular season league table with a whopping 67 points, leaving Seattle Sounders four points behind at 2nd place.
The 19-5-10 (wins, losses, draws) overall record was one of the most impressive in Los Galacticos’ league history. The team was just one point short of making a two-point average per game in the regular season.
Moreover, they kept an undefeated home run this season. The LA allowed only 23 goals this year, of which only 8 were conceded at home. The team also posted a 3-0-0 (wins, losses, draws) record in the play-offs including the MLS Cup final.
The Galaxy’s CONCACAF Champions League stint has also been exceptional so far. The 3-0-0 (wins, losses, draws) home record at the HDC in group stages helped the team take the top spot in Group A, and they secured a knock-out round berth.
However, head coach Bruce Arena remained humble in praise. According to the boss, despite all the accomplishments, the team is just ‘one of the best’ and certainly not ‘the best’.
“I'd like to be able to say that, but I don't know how you do that. I just don’t,” Arena said. “I mean, this is a good team, and we've accomplished a lot this year. To have the regular season we had, and then throw in the CONCACAF Champions League and then
to win the MLS Cup, it's a h**l of an accomplishment.”
Adding compliments to some of the best teams in the league, Arena said:
“I really think if I say this team belongs there, you minimize accomplishments of others,” Arena said. “There have been some very good teams in this league. I just think we're another one of those.”
With blazing guns like playmaker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robbie-Keane-c31215 in attack, one could not expect less from a star-studded roster.
