Ready for Kickoff in Toronto

Finally! Following a two-week break for the opening round games of the World Cup, the Galaxy are back in action and will look to return to their winning ways tonight against Toronto FC at BMO Field. With a 10-1-2 record, LA will look to rebound from the first loss of the season at Real Salt Lake on a goal that was later reviewed by US Soccer referees as having been offside.

Kickoff is just around the corner and Bruce Arena has stood pat over the break and returns with the same starting lineup from the last two matches including the 1-0 loss at Real Salt Lake. Jovan Kirovski and Tristan Bowen will be paired up top with Michael Stephens, Juninho and Alex Cazumba will lineup behind them be expected to help drive the offense tonight. Meanwhile the defense will look for the clean sheet after allowing it first road goal of the season two weeks ago.
