The FA Cup Final between Manchester United and Chelsea ...
Can anything exciting be written about such a snoozer?
I don't think so.

Galaxy 3 - Red Bull NY 1 (AET)
The Los Angeles Galaxy advanced into the next round of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup after defeating Red Bull New York after extra time.
It was 120 minutes of lack-luster football with about two minutes total of good football. Red Bull demonstrated they can keep possession, while the Galaxy showed promise down both flanks. They both exposed their lack of creativity and execution in the final third of the pitch. At the end of regulation time, the highlights were two red cards. Thanks to tiring legs, both defenses opened up in extra time and made the game more exciting.
Back-up goalkeeper Steve Cronin was easily the man of the match with 14 saves. He denied excellent scoring chances from Clint Mathis and Juan Pablo Angel, who was making his debut on U.S. soil. Angel was very active and dangerous. Hopefully, the shape of things to come.
Overall, you could call it a disappointing night at the Home Depot Center with the thin crowd, boring football, and benched stars. But it was still a fun night. This was my first match of the season and I am looking forward to a few more.
