CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy’s bid for a third U.S. Open Cup title begins on Wednesday when they host FC Golden State Force.
The PDL squad from Whitter is one of the top amateur sides remaining in the tournament with upset victories over USL sides Orange County FC and Las Vegas Lights FC. Leading the way for the amateur squad is Brazilian striker Allisson Faramilio who has tallied four goals in three games.
For LA Galaxy boss Sigi Schmid, a four-time winner of the Open Cup, the match requires the right demeanor –both mentally and physically—from his squad.
