Update: David Beckham and Landon Donovan return from playing in World Cup qualifiers, knowing that a victory tonight can lift the Galaxy into first place in the Western Conference. The Galaxy has shut out its last three opponents. “It’s what we’re trying to do with this team,” Coach Bruce Arena said. “To make it a real team, you have to win games, 1-0.” FC Dallas is winless in its last three matches and had defender Daniel Torres red carded in a 2-2 tie with D.C. United last time out. Torres is suspended for tonight’s game.
