Rising Real vs Revamped LA
Whichever team slips and slides its way to the MLS Cup title Sunday at Qwest Field (8:30 pm ET, ESPN, Galavision), both have broken new ground in 2009.
It’s been raining, which adds yet another variable to a rich mix of factors. Real Salt Lake is marking its fifth season with a first final appearance; the two-time champion Galaxy, one of the league’s original 10 members, is playing in a record sixth final and is back for the first time since it capped a memorable playoff run by beating New England, 1-0, in MLS Cup 2005.
