We’re about five minutes in (I just love the 91 Freeway) here at Titan Stadium.

The Galaxy lineup (4-4-2) sees Donovan Ricketts in goal, young Brazilian Alex Cazumba at left back, Gregg Berhalter and Omar Gonzalez in the middle of the back four as usual and Sean Franklin at right back.

In midfield it’s Dema Kovalaenko, Eddie Lewis (who is captain tonight), another of the trio of Brazilians, Juninho, and Van Nuys’ Tristan Bowen on the right.

Mike Magee and Edson Buddle start up front on this chilly evening.

There are seven subs allowed tonight so we’ll see virtually everyone get off the bench.
