Update -- Having unexpectedly won two in a row, the Galaxy goes into today’s match knowing that a third consecutive victory could put it back into the playoff picture after Saturday’s results went Los Angeles’ way. The Colorado Rapids lost and the Chicago Fire were tied by Chivas. By winning today, the Galaxy can move to within two points of Columbus, within four points of the Rapids and within six points of Chicago, which currently holds the eighth and final playoff spot. The Galaxy closes the season at Chicago in what suddenly looms as a potentially decisive game -- if the Galaxy wins today.
