Yesterday's LA Galaxy/DC United match had everything that MLS could want from a match. A full house of passionate fans yelling and chanting the entire match as two possible playoff teams, one with one of the world's most famous players and the other with a potential U.S. star, played an almost even and intense match.

At least, if you listen to Charlie Davies, it is. Davies ripped team officials at the French club for a letter they sent to national […]
