The Los Angeles Galaxy is a professional American Major League Soccer team based in Los Angeles, California. The team, founded in 1995, was one of the original ten founding franchises of Major League Soccer. The team has won the MLS Cup twice, in 2002 and 2005. In 2007, the team acquired noted midfielder David Beckham from Real Madrid and made Beckham the highest-paid player in the MLS.
