What They're Saying
LA Galaxy midfielder Steven Gerrard (via MLS): "I've been excited since day one, and I've been waiting for this moment. It was quite frustrating watching the team [last weekend] against Toronto. I was very pleased with the win, but I was itching to get out there and join the boys, so I get my opportunity [Saturday] to play 45. I need them minutes for my fitness and hopefully, in a couple of weeks' time, I'll be sharp and ready to go."
America manager Ignacio Ambriz (via Esto): "I'm very happy with the team I have. [The lack of players] has given continuity to a team that has done things well, won a championship. We have young players that achieved great things. We'll look to be a proactive team. I'm happy and appreciate this opportunity that I have."
The In-Form Player
All eyes are on the debut of Gerrard. In his final season with Liverpool, the 34-year-old finished with nine goals and an assist.
