The Galaxy's Tom Braun quickly turned a postponed season opener against rival LAFC into a special Fourth of July edition at the Rose Bowl.
CONCACAF Champions League, Nations League and Gold Cup tournaments have created congested schedules and hardships for MLS players and teams.And they come into this 20th renewal of El Tráfico, as the rivalry is known, heading in different directions.
“There’s going to be really strong representation from both sides,” said Braun, who has divided the stadium in half with one side for Galaxy supporters and the other for LAFC fans. “I do think it sets a different standard for our league, being able to pull something like this off.” For the third game, the Galaxy could choose a different site this year and LAFC would get to pick in 2024.Chris Richards and Folarin Balogun each score goals to lead the United States to a 2-0 victory over Canada in the CONCACAF Nations League final.
The Rose Bowl isn’t done with soccer for the summer, though, with Real Madrid returning to the Arroyo Seco on July 23 to play AC Milan in a matchup of UEFA Champions League semifinalists. That’s just one of three games on the Soccer Champions Tour that Braun is bringing to Southern California, with Barcelona facing Arsenal on July 26 at SoFi Stadium and Juventus meeting AC Milan and Dignity Health Sports Park the next night.
