Los Angeles Galaxy

The Los Angeles Galaxy is one of two Major League Soccer (MLS) franchises located in Los Angeles, California. The team colors are yellow and green; the home jerseys are yellow with a green and black diagonal sash. The Galaxy have been in the league since 1996. They played their home games at the Rose Bowl from 1996-2002 and moved into their own Soccer-specific stadium, the Home Depot Center, in 2003, which they share (since 2005) with C.D. Chivas USA. The Galaxy has the highest all-time attendance in league history and is the first MLS team to make a profit for a season. Their mascot is known as "Cozmo," a frog-like extraterrestrial.

Major rivalries

• San Jose Earthquakes—besides the traditional Northern California–Southern California angle, many Earthquakes fans are unhappy about Landon Donovan's decision to return to his native Los Angeles. Additionally, there are a number of players who have switched teams (Todd Dunivant, Alejandro Moreno, and Danny Califf, among others).
• C.D. Chivas USA—this one-year-old "rivalry" is more about marketing, as their fixtures are termed the "Honda Superclasico". Competition-wise, the Galaxy have won all four games. Seeing as how both share the same home stadium and as Chivas has improved slightly with the addition of los refuerzos, this rivalry is likely to develop over the next few years.
