The 2022 season is officially here, as the LA Galaxy host New York City FC Sunday afternoon at Dignity Health Sports Park to open the regular season.
The Galaxy, in their second season under Greg Vanney, have mostly made tweaks to the roster in the offseason, as the group tries to cohere after turning over nearly the entire squad last year. Of note, the new Designated Player, Douglas Costa, has cleared his immigration paperwork and is available for this match, with Vanney saying the Brazilian will play a role in this match.
And look, this is a tough opening game for LA.
