The Los Angeles Galaxy cannot allow Saturdays disappointing loss at New York City FC to linger into a very winnable road game at the last-place Chicago Fire on Wednesday night at Toyota Park.The Galaxy (9-4-11) are in fifth place in the Western Conference standings with 38 points. They have a six-point lead over sixth-place Portland, but need to find a way to post a win. They are winless in their last six matches, including a 1-0 loss to New York City FC on Saturday.This is very important, midfielder Nigel de Jong told the teams website ahead of the Chicago game. Weve got 10 games left to go, and we havent won in a while. Itd be good for our confidence to get this victory on the road before we get back to L.A.The Fire (5-11-7) would need a remarkable turnaround down the stretch to reach the playoffs. They trail sixth-place D.C. United by six points in the Eastern Conference standings. But they are coming off of one of their biggest wins of a tough season and their first on the road.The Fire stunned the Montreal Impact 3-0 on Saturday. Luis Solignac, David Accam and Matt Polster had goals for Chicago to fuel the upset.Fire coach Veljko Paunovic says his squad will bring a similar approach to Wednesdays match.For us, every game is a final, Paunovic told the teams website. We approach every game the same, and we will do all necessary adjustments that we have to do in order to prepare well and win the game.The Galaxy are 3-0-2 at Toyota Park since 2009, but have been out of sync on the offensive side of the pitch, de Jong said.We have to improve offensively to score goals and win games, the Galaxy midfielder told reporters. We were struggling a bit against New York in the delivery into the final third. We just need to improve. We have to turn around very quick because we need good results.This will be the only meeting between the two teams this season. Cheap NHL Jerseys Free Shipping .

LONDON -- This super-sized fifth set at Wimbledon finished 19-17, not 70-68, and it did not end well for John Isner.The 6-foot-10 American, who won the longest match in tennis history at the All England Club in 2010, found himself locked in another marathon against another Frenchman at the same site. This time, Isner came up short.No. 12 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga saved a match point and eventually edged the 18th-seeded Isner 6-7 (3), 3-6, 7-6 (5), 6-2, 19-17 over nearly 4 1/2 hours in a third-rounder that ended Sunday. The final set alone lasted 2 hours, 8 minutes.Play was suspended because of darkness after three sets Saturday at Court No. 2 (only Centre Court has artificial lights).To be honest, I was a little tired, for some reason, said Isner, who leaned over with hands on knees at one point. I didnt think I would be.Inevitably, a reporter brought up the match Isner is best-known for, his first-round victory against Nicolas Mahut in 2010 that stretched for more than 11 hours over three days and concluded with a fifth set that lasted 102 more games than Sundays.I know the match could go a long way, Isner said, then rolled his eyes while continuing, but I wasnt thinking about what happened six years ago.At his news conference, Tsonga was asked whether Isner-Mahut popped into his mind at all. That drew a hearty chuckle from Tsonga, a two-time semifinalist at Wimbledon and the runner-up at the 2008 Australian Open.A little bit, Tsonga replied.Once, he added, I said, `Maybe its going to be long, like (for) Nicolas.Isner and Tsonga are equipped with difficult-to-deal-with serves -- both regularly reached 130 mph (210 kph) on Sunday -- and they combined for 59 aces, 38 by the American. But here was the key: Tsonga converted 3 of 6 break poinnts, all over the closing two sets, while Isner was only 1 for 4 in the match.ddddddddddddOne of his break points came while ahead 16-15, and so it was also a match point. But Tsonga cast that aside with a big serve-forehand combination. On the first point of that game, Isners left foot slid out from under him and he fell at the baseline. He winced and stepped gingerly between points, but afterward insisted it was not a big deal, saying: Oh, I was fine. Hurt for like five seconds. No, it feels fine. Its not an issue at all.Perhaps. But not much later, Tsonga earned the only break of the last set to go ahead 18-17, then served it out.That made him 15-7 in five-setters for his career, including 6-0 at Wimbledon. This was also the fourth time hes come back to win after dropping the opening two sets of a match.Tsonga will need to head right back out on court Monday to face No. 7 Richard Gasquet for a quarterfinal berth. They join the unseeded Mahut, who plays Sam Querrey of the U.S. on Monday, and No. 32 Lucas Pouille, who faces Bernard Tomic of Australia, to give France four men in the round of 16 at Wimbledon for the first time since 1929.Isner, meanwhile, dropped to 6-15 in contests that go the full five sets, and he reiterated his stance that all Grand Slam tournaments should use a tiebreaker to settle a fifth set.Currently, only the U.S. Open does that, while Wimbledon, the French Open and Australian Open make players continue until one winds up with two more games than the other.But I cant do anything about it, he said.
