Focusing on FC Dallas

Three days remove from Sunday. Three days removed from hosting FC Dallas in the Western Conference Championship at The Home Depot Center.

The LA Galaxy were a "focused" group on Thursday as they went through their usual training session ahead of this weekend's 6 p.m. conference championship. You can tell the guys are more focused just by looking at the photo above of Landon, or reading the article that came out in today's edition of the LA Times.

But it's not just Landon, it's everybody that is focused on the task at hand.

After the workout, we caught up with a few of the guys to get their thoughts on this weekend's opponent, what's been going on at training and compare this year's to last year's conference championship.

Below are more photos today's training session, as well as two photos of Landon from yesterday's in-studio interview with The Loose Cannons on AM 570, where after the interview Landon jumped on the phones to help out with the radio station's fundraiser for the Paralyzed Veterans of American which raised over $115,000.

Thanks for such a great performance by the team just this past Sunday. Our LA Galaxy will once again face off against a familiar opponent. Beware, LA Galaxy team! Beware of how enormously quick and instantly they can explode in offense. Our team MUST be ready - not just mentally; but, physically! I am hoping that all the key players watched and studied FC Dallas vs Real Salt Lake games. Marking up the "connective & collective" combination play of Ferreira with McCarty with Chavez with Benitez supported by Atiba and Brek is NOT going to be easy. Please, Bruce and Dave - please have the right and fit line-up from the very start. Be very cautious; but, be absolutely resilient in many parts of the field. This FC Dallas team will test the endurance level of all of our players - so be ready physically by spending the necessary time with physios, trainers, and be hydrated! It could go into over-time/extra-time; I sincerely hope NOT. But, all possibilities have to be made fully aware and understood. Please get Michael Stephens, Mikey M, Chris Birchall, Tristan Bowen, Leonardo, and Bryan Jordan ready... Get them prepped; It is very possible we will absolutely need them in latter parts of the game. You cannot underestimate this FC Dallas team.
Hope definitely that our LA Galaxy will indeed be victorious!
Sir Don, Becks, Landon, Edson, and Dema - they have got to... got to be the leaders and hold this team together in all / any parts of the field. Communicate!
