The LA Galaxy’s struggles? We’ve already covered them, just as we covered them before. Still, no stretch of 13 or 34 games can take away from the obvious: They are still the Galaxy, a standing that comes with the honor of wearing MLS’ biggest star above their crest. They’re five-time champions, known the world over, and when they come to take on the Portland Timbers on Saturday (2pm PT, ESPN), they’ll bring that legacy and renown with them.
They’ll also bring a history of producing bangers at Providence Park. Fanendo Adi and Alan Gordon exchanging stoppage-time goals in 2015.
