It took a few attempts, but FC Cincinnati finally punched their ticket to the playoffs for the fourth time under Pat Noonan. There are still some obstacles along the way to the MLS Cup, including the team that won the entire hill of beans last season.

The public was sufficiently amazed when the Los Angeles Galaxy tiptoed around the competition and beat the Red Bulls for their sixth cup. However, their rough stumble out of the blocks this season was perhaps even more shocking. Still, is it wise to dismiss this year's Galaxy squad as being inefficient and toothless?

We sit down with Edgar from News Across the Galaxy to ask what has gone wrong this season, but also what could go very right under the right conditions. Could the Galaxy be the first Western Conference squad to beat the Orange & Blue this season? Just how can Greg Vanney get his team to pull off a big win on the West Coast?
