Its time for the American Football festival to roll on as 20th Season of Major League Soccer kicks off at Viernes De Futbol as Defending Champions starts off with hosting Chicago Fire on Saturday Morning 08:30 IST.The Galaxy would be hoping to maintain their Form as their home Field remains almost impenetrable fortess as they position themselves for another MLS title. The opener was in concern until yesterday over potential player strikes as Major league Soccer and MLS player union teach another agreement on terms of New Collective Bargaining(CBA).

Chicago Fire missed the Eastern Conference Play off spot dearly but now they will be hoping to start afresh.Bruce Arena's squad hasn't changed much off season. The departure of Marcelo Sarvas heading to Colorado, but it will be first time in Ten Years that LA GALAXY will be missing out the services of Club Ledgend Landon Donovan.On the other hand Chicago Fire have had a deep surgery into the squad with letting in 12 new Faces including 3 DP's-Scottish International Shaun Maloney, David Accam and Kennedy Igboananike and 16 pair of legs from 2014 roster bidding Adieu to the Club.
Robbie Keane told reporters,"We need to continue to do the same (thing we did last year).We need to make sure that this place(home ground) is difficult for players and teams to come.We not want them to enjoy coming here and know that it will be a difficult game when you play against LA Galaxy."
Preseason in the books. A date with the @MLS champions on deck. #cf97

Head Coach(Chicago Fire) Frank Yallop will be hoping to get the things right with his new look squad this season and a win at StubHub Centre would certainly provide a boost and get in the confidence for the rest of the season.
LA Galaxy's injury concerns will lay on Aj DeLaGarza.The defender has not put up is foot on ground a single minute at the Pre-Season after being suffering with Bruised Foot.On the other side Chicago Fire will be without Mike Magee and Midfielder Patrick Nyarko as both site our with Hip and knee problems respectively. Designated player David Accam is in doubt for the opener with Groin Strain he suffered in preseason. Adailton, Razvan Cocis amd Alex May are also sidelined through injuries.
