CARSON -- Robin Fraser has bolstered his roster with 12 acquisitions since his first campaign in charge of Chivas USA closed 4.5 months ago, adding experience, depth and more than a little talent to a decent base. Will it translate to success -- an...

1. WILL THE GOATS MAKE THE PLAYOFFS? No playoffs, this year's a failure, and the task appears more difficult this year than it did in 2011, when Chivas had fewer attributes. Points can't be easily conceded this year -- late leads must hold, late def...

MOST IMPORTANT FIGURE This is a most blue-collar team, and its leaders -- and chief on-field figures -- are hard-working battlers with a bit of skill. Alejandro Moreno (shifting from forward to a holding-midfield role), midfield leader Nick LaBrocca...

How will things turn out in Major League Soccer this season? Now's hardly the time to ask. Teams alter their rosters into June, look for help in the summer transfer window, and might not round into form until September. The club that carries off the ...

CARSON -- Things aren't particularly complicated with the Galaxy. They're expected to win, and anything less isn't acceptable, not after three straight Western Conference titles, back-to-back Supporters' Shields and last November's triumph in the MLS...

MOST IMPORTANT FIGURE There are two who stand out among many: David Beckham and Landon Donovan. Beckham is the engine, the deep-lying playmaker whose ability to serve a ball, any length, on a dime makes the attack go. That's hardly all he brings: Hi...

1. CAN THE GALAXY REPEAT?Short answer: Of course, they can. But it won't be simple. They're better on paper than a year ago, with one notable exception (see No. 3), but the unbalanced schedule and immense quality in the Western Conference means that ...
