The LA Galaxy will kick off the 2021 season Sunday with a road trip, to face Inter Miami CF for the first time ever. The teams were supposed to play the week the coronavirus shutdown hit in 2020, but now they will face each other to kick off the new season.
Both teams enter with new coaches, Greg Vanney in LA, Phil Neville in Miami. Inter Miami made the playoffs last year, but in spite of that accomplishment for an expansion team there’s almost universal belief they were bad last year, something the ownership seemed to agree with.
