... it. I go in there thinking I have a chance. It's the kicker against me. Why shou ldn't I save it?" Espindola the happiest man in town Probably nobody was more relieved than forward Fabian Espindola that RSL wound up winning last weekend. Otherwise, he might have become "El Chivo."

... Speaking of Morales, expect a boomerang effect to boost him and his Argentine countryman, Fabian Espindola. Neither could have been lower after choking on penalty kicks last weekend, only to be rescued by Rimando. Both will play like they appreciate the second lease on life. If fate is on its side, RSL will emerge victorious Sunday in a game that resembles 2003 (a 4-2 San Jose win) or 2004...

... they had the speed to get by LA’s defense. Believe me Robbie Findley, Yura Movsisyan and Fabian Espindola present a big challenge to Gregg Berhalter and Omar Gonzalez. I’d say they will do their best to keep Findley in check as he presents the most problems but don’t sleep on the big man Movsisyan to sneak in and score a goal if they let up on him. Remember when Conor Casey torched the Galaxy...

... became involved only when the shootout went beyond the standard five rounds, and RSL's Fabian Espindola missed high on his game-winning chance. After another save by RSL's Nick Rimando, Grabavoy came through as the ball bounced off the goalkeeper's hand and into the net in a shot that's being replayed often this week in ESPN's promotion of the MLS Cup.
