Galaxy's Romney getting another chance to prove he's a starter

Dave Romney knows what his role is with the Galaxy. It's to be ready to play at any minute at almost any position.

Sometimes that means coming off the bench to spell an exhausted teammate, as he did for the final 13 minutes against New York City earlier this season. Sometimes it means starting 13 games in a row, as he did at the end of last season when the Galaxy lost center backs Jelle Van Damme and Daniel Steres.
