If you’ve got a slight Zlatan hangover this morning, you’re not alone. The American soccer community had a big party yesterday celebrating the impending arrival of one of world footballer’s great personalities. Ibrahimovic is anticipated to make his debut next week vs. LAFC in the inaugural El Tráfico. That. Will. Be. A. Spectacle.

But first, a severely shorthanded LA Galaxy squad travel to Vancouver to take on Carl Robinson’s improved Whitecaps squad. (7 PT, Spectrum Community & Spectrum Deportes)

What to watch:

Sigi Schmid has the unfortunate task of stringing a coherent lineup together despite missing up to eleven players. All three Galaxy DPs are out with hamstring injuries, Ashley Cole is suspended, Michael Ciani has a groin pull, Chris Pontius and Bradford Jamieson are still nursing knocks and Ola Kamara and Emrah Klimenta have international duty. Plus Perry Kitchen tweaked his knee.

This isn’t a match with a high probability of success for LA, so expect Sigi to prioritize individual performances more than the result.

How to watch? With LA drawing aybsmal TV numbers last year, the team is no longer a top priority on the network, and as a result, tonight’s Galaxy broadcast has been moved to Spectrum Community.

You’ve got two options: Bite the bullet and upgrade your service, or if you live outside LA county try using MLS Live.

Predicted starting 11:
