The Galaxy has historically been an upper echelon MLS team, but the 11 the had on the pitch yesterday was very atypical, then without Van Damme, they are nothing like the teams the would field 5 years ago.
Of course I'm biased, but I think the Timbers are a top 4 team in the West, maybe top 6 in all of the MLS this year, but that remains to be seen.

I've definitely adopted them as my MLS Live team.
Valeri is really really good. Legitimate best player in the league candidate. Plus Nagbe, Blanco, and Adi are all really really fun to watch. Again, ex-EPL defender in Ridgewell and their fullbacks are solid and look like they like to get forward. Add into that best kits in the league, and great rivalry with lol Seattle and they're a fun team.

Reason: 2 games into the season, sample size, etc...

note: TSN has picked up the game in Canada, so i imagine they'll also have the return leg, and the Vancouver v Dallas final
Liga MX being so SHOOK by MLS that they had to engineer a "referee strike" so that their teams could have maximum rest for these games is a pretty lol look

Packed with star players like Andre-Pierre Gignac, Jurgen Damm, Ismael Sosa and Eduardo Vargas and led by wily veteran manager Ricardo “Tuca” Ferretti, the Monterrey-based powerhouse has achieved a great deal lately, starting with the 2015 and 2016 Liga MX Apertura titles as well as runners-up finishes in last year’s CCL and the 2015 Copa Libertadores.
Quote:
Projected starting XI (4-4-1-1): Nahuel Guzman — Luis Advincula, Hugo Ayala, Juninho, Jorge Torres Nilo — Damian Alvarez, Jesus Duenas, Guido Pizarro, Jurgen Damm — Eduardo Vargas — Andre-Pierre Gignac
Notes: Tuca Ferretti’s methodical, possession-heavy approach can also be executed via a 4-2-3-1 shape, but with the home fans at “El Volcan” (“The Volcano”) likely to provide noisy support as their team nears yet another trophy, he may be less conservative on Tuesday … Javier Aquino is nearing a return from a hamstring problem and could see minutes in this series … Andre-Pierre Gignac has been arguably Liga MX’s brightest star over the past year and will be the chief danger for Vancouver.

Projected starting XI (4-2-3-1): David Ousted — Jake Nerwinski, Kendall Waston, Tim Parker, Jordan Harvey — Matias Laba, Andrew Jacobson — Alphonso Davies, Kekuta Manneh, Brek Shea — Fredy Montero
Notes: Robinson started two markedly different lineups over the first two weeks of MLS play, with many of his usual regulars rested at San Jose with an eye towards the Tigres trip … Teenage phenom Alphonso Davies sat out the weekend match and seems likely to start on Tuesday despite his tender age … Vancouver fielded new acquisition Brek Shea in an unorthodox lone striker role in their CCL quarterfinal second-leg win over the New York Red Bulls; showcase frontrunner Fredy Montero has yet to start for the Whitecaps but may be given that opportunity against Tigres.
