Finishing Up the Week

Bruce Arena put the team through a light training session this morning at The Home Depot Center as the team gathered for the final time before Saturday night's MLS Cup rematch against Real Salt Lake. While some try to build up the game as the Galaxy's chance at revenge for last season's defeat in MLS Cup, the players are trying to stay grounded by looking at Saturday as just another game on the club's quest to return to the postseason.

With that in mind, the first team worked on set pieces and tactics at one end of the field while the rest of the squad played a small-sided game at the other end of the field. After a concise 60 minute workout, the full squad got together for some crossing and finishing drills before heading inside for one last meeting ahead of the game.

Check out the photos below to see the shooting form of Stephens, Landon (with the left), Juninho, Gordo and Clint (as he unsuccessfully tries to chip Josh Saunders), and then scroll down to the bottom for the thoughts of Birchy, Todd and A.J. ahead of tomorrow night's game.
