These are matches where the outcome is predetermined. No matter how many times you prepare for an opponent, the outcome is going to be the same.

Such was the case for Bruce Arena's Los Angeles Galaxy, who were punchless for the most part on Thursday night in Carson, Calif. They were outrun, outworked, outhustled and outplayed by Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid, ultimately falling by a score of 5-1.

Don't get me wrong, this is just a friendly. The match featured two teams with huge discrepancies in talent, skills and fitness. But if Los Angeles had at least made the score respectable and lost with their heads held high, you would see some good, if modest, player ratings.

You can only wonder if the Seattle Sounders smell blood in the water like they did the last time and take advantage of the lapses in defending.
