As the defending MLS Cup Champion Los Angeles Galaxy prepares for Wednesday’s CONCACAF Quarterfinal first leg against Toronto FC, Galaxy Vice President and former RSL member Chris Klein will join “On Frame” to talk CCL and also preview L.A.’s 2012 title defense, which kicks off Saturday at The Home Depot Center against rival Real Salt Lake. Featured on tonight’s show to give the RSL perspective on Saturday’s match is MF Ned Grabavoy, who won an MLS Cup title with the Galaxy in 2005 and factored heavily in the Claret-and-Cobalt’s MLS Cup 2009 win over L.A., as well as the multitude of RSL successes in recent years.
