Because Manchester United did not win today, I do not feel inclined to talk about the EPL. All I will mention is that Manchester City looked remarkably like Mark Hughes’ side of last year in their unimpressive draw to Birmingham.

But on to football in the rest of the world. I do not usually like to talk about the MLS because the football is sub-par to say the least. The team that I support is the LA Galaxy, being the team that I have seen play the most times, going to games at a very young age with my father. They beat the Seattle Sounders to make it all the way into the Western Conference Championship.

This is not a huge feat for the Galaxy; one would expect them to make it al least this far with players like David Beckham and Landon Donovan. But the Galaxy have a habit of not being able to score goals in big games. I am happy to see them make it this far and I hope that they win the league title after their extremely disappointing finish last season (they lost on penalties in the final).

Another one of my favorite teams, Rangers, won 2-0 today against Aberdeen. This puts Rangers four points clear of their arch-rival Celtic.

Completely unsurprising is the fact that it looks like the SPL will come down to Rangers and Celtic, as it does almost every season. The yearly question in the SPL is whether Celtic or Rangers will win the league, everyone else is just playing for third.

Many people have proposed moving Rangers and Celtic into the English Premier League. I think this to be a good idea although it would hurt Scottish soccer at the beginning. However, it could allow for growth of teams like Motherwell and Dundee. It would make the league more competitive while giving Scotland a bigger name in a much larger league.
