Just how good are the Galaxy's current defensive numbers and can we expect them to continue?
The LA Galaxy's defense has been rock solid this year, letting in under a goal a game. What's more, they've managed to accomplish this feet by giving consistent starting minutes to a center-back in Daniel Steres who is making the jump from USL to MLS quality offenses.
Of course, I don't want to heap too much praise on Steres as his poor clearance against Colorado, missed mark against Houston, and penalty against Real Salt Lake, all lead to goals, (43% of the goals the Galaxy have conceded), but, by in large, this new defensive unit that Bruce Arena has put together has stepped up beautifully and played a large role in the Galaxy's success thus far.
