Both LA Galaxy and Houston Dynamo used their first legs at home to their advantage, as LA took a 3-0 win and Houston came back in the second half to seal the win 3-1.

Despite an early goal from DC United, Houston took the two-goal advantage in aggregate score in front of a record crowd of 22,101 with goals from Andre Hainault, Will Bruin and Kofi Sarkodie.

In LA, Robbie Keane scored two goals and Mike Magee kept up his playoff hot-streak as the Galaxy took the win in commanding fashion.

With the three-goal advantage, a rematch of last year’s championship between the Galaxy and the Dynamo seems more than likely for the MLS Cup on December 1^st.

Meanwhile in the NASL, there is still plenty of off-season news coming in each day.

Atlanta concluded its Name the Team Contest in which fans decided to keep the Silverbacks name. In light of the decision, the next fan initiative is a new logo design contest.

In San Antonio, a new President and GM was announced in Howard Cornfield. Cornfield comes to the Scorpions after years of domestic and international sports administration experience, including a remarkable nine years with the Quad City Mallards of the United Hockey League.
