Los Angeles Galaxy
Los Angeles Galaxy is a professional soccer club based in Carson, California that plays in the MLS (Major League Soccer).

This club has the highest all-time attendance in league history. Los Angeles Galaxy is also the first MLS team to make a profit in a season. The club has three fan clubs: The Galaxy Stars, The L.A. Riot Squad and The Galaxians. The mascot of Los Angeles Galaxy is a frog-like extraterrestrial known as “Cozmo.” Frank Yallop is the coach of this club.
