See the Stars of the Los Angeles Galaxy

Since they are one of the best teams of Major League Soccer, it comes as no surprise that Los Angeles Galaxy is home to some of the greatest soccer players of this millennium. At home in the Home Depot Center, the team's extraordinary playing drives dedicated fans to fill in the seats where the lovable mascot, Cosmo, entertains. Even though David Beckham will be recovering from an injury this season, the team's other star players are sure to cause excitement.
From the beginning, Los Angeles Galaxy has been a strong force in the soccer world. In 1996, their first year in the MLS, they went to the MLS Cup, but lost to DC United. Though they went to the cup two more times, it was not until 2002 that they won their first one. They have been champions of the Western Conference six times, four of those years being consecutive years.
Known to soccer fans and non-soccer fans alike, in 2007, David Beckham found himself playing for this great team. However, it will be some time before the fans are treated to another Beckham performance as he has suffered a tear in his Achilles tendon. Fans can rest assured that he will be back as soon as possible as the operation to repair it was considered a complete success. It is also unfortunate that he will not be able to play in the World Cup this year.
It will be up to the veterans of the team to pick up the slack with Beckham gone and the team members and fans alike will be looking towards the likes of Landon Donovan to pick up the slack. He is no slouch himself as this nine-year veteran found the back of the net twelve times last season and assisted on six other goals. He will likely be the main star of the team while Beckham recovers from this very untimely injury.
Edson Buddle is another veteran of this team that has nine years experience in the league and was second on the team in scoring last season. His five goals will have to be improved on if the Galaxy is to hold their own during the regular season. This will be his chance to truly step up and become as star in his own right.
Goaltending duties will once again be handled by Donovan Ricketts. The Galaxy can generally rest easy knowing he is in the net as his GAA last season was a very stingy 1.03. The team can play with a lot of confidence, but they need to put the ball in the net a bit more than last season if they are going to be able to take advantage of goaltending. Ten ties with a GAA in that range is simply unacceptable.
Galaxy fans have no reason to be down about Beckham as the coach and team are determined to make this season a success. Even though he will be on the sidelines, there is every reason to believe that his influence on this team will really show through this season. The team will need the fans support more than ever this year if they are going to win and expect the seats to be filled for almost every game.
