It was only the second Major League Soccer game of the season for the Galaxy and the team managed a 1-1 tie with intracity rival Chivas USA on Sunday. But judging by the postgame reaction of the Galaxy, the reigning MLS champion, it might as well have been a loss. "Feels like a loss," Galaxy forward Robbie Keane said after the draw at the Home Depot Center, the stadium the two teams share. "Probably one of our worst performances for a long time. " The Galaxy appeared to have the game won when 18-year-old forward Jack McBean of Newport Beach scored in the 83rd minute with a header that deflected off the hand of goalkeeper Dan Kennedy.

In the wake of Samsung's unveiling of the Galaxy S4, Apple has increased its own marketing efforts by creating a Why iPhone site.  Prior to the Samsung launch event last week, Apple executive Phil Schiller gave a series of interviews criticizing Android , the mobile operating system that the Galaxy uses. The iPhone site doesn't mention Android or Samsung by name.  PHOTOS: Tech we want to see in 2013   Still, the timing and the message seem like a clear attempt to remind consumers what Apple believes sets its phone apart from the competition.

They share the same stadium but the Galaxy faces an unfamiliar Chivas USA on Sunday. "We're not sure what to expect," Galaxy forward Mike Magee said of Chivas USA, which overhauled its roster and named a new coach in the off-season. The 2 p.m. game at Home Depot Center is the first of three matches this season between the two Major League Soccer teams in what's known as the "SuperClasico" series. The Galaxy won two of the three games last year. "Always good to play in these games, always a good atmosphere and bragging rights for the fans," Galaxy forward Robbie Keane said.

Saturday marks the 50th anniversary of the discovery of the quasar - an extremely bright object powered by matter falling into a super-massive black hole lying in the heart of a galaxy. First found in 1963, these strange sources of radio waves initially stumped astronomers: They shone as sharply and intensely as nearby stars, but they appeared to be moving away from Earth far too fast to be in our own Milky Way. Scientists called them quasi-stellar radio sources - or quasars for short.

Galaxy players said Friday they were surprised and saddened that Tim Leiweke no longer was chief executive of the soccer team's owner, Anschutz Entertainment Group. AEG said Thursday that Leiweke, who, with AEG owner Philip Anschutz, was a major force in building the Galaxy and Major League Soccer, had left the company "by mutual agreement. " There was no elaboration. "Everyone was just shocked," defender Omar Gonzalez said after the Galaxy -- the reigning MLS champion -- practiced at Home Depot Center, another AEG property, in advance of Sunday's game against Chivas USA. "It's sad to see him go, but I'm sure he'll be fine wherever he lands," Gonzalez said.
