envy of most teams around the world.  Many of their players have Southern California ties, have played in the Olympics, and are on the US National Team.  Defender Danny Calif helped lead the Galaxy to its last MLS CUP championship run, and is hopeful for this season.  "We've got a lot of new players, our brand of soccer is going to be a little bit different...we ended on a sour note and want to make amends "

Also this season the Galaxy will host Iran at the Rose Bowl on April 28^th.  This will give the Galaxy a chance to play against one of Asia’s most talented and exciting national teams.  It will be the third ever
