More action from Arizona
Last Friday, training camp in Arizona continued—with seven players training on their own while the others returned to playing a series of five-minute split-squad matches. After the matches, the team went through shooting drills which involved backup goalkeeper Brian Perk, who impressed the team with his tenacity and readiness.
Rains from Alaska did hamper camp over the weekend, as the team were reduced to performing conditioning workouts under the bleachers of the track stadium at Arizona State University in Tempe.
Back on track with a win
Earlier today, the Galaxy took on the expansion Vancouver Whitecaps as the skies cleared. First-half goals from Chris Birchall and Juan Pablo Angel got L.A. back on track in a 2-0 win.
Both the Galaxy and Caps clash once more tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. PT/1:00 a.m. ET.
Fox Soccer telecasts a-plenty
The Galaxy will be featured in seven of FOX Soccer’s national broadcasts this upcoming season, Major League Soccer and FOX Soccer announced today. Last season, L.A. was also featured in seven of FOX Soccer’s telecasts.
