MLS: Galaxy again to play in Australia, New Zealand

The Associated Press

CARSON, Calif. — The Los Angeles Galaxy again will play exhibition matches in Australia and New Zealand in December.

For the second consecutive year, the LA Galaxy will face a Hyundai A-League team in an international friendly in Australia, playing Queensland Roar in Brisbane on Dec. 11. The MLS team's two-game tour will begin Dec. 6 against an Oceania All Stars Invitational Team in Auckland.

David Beckham and the Galaxy were big draws last year, with a crowd of more than 80,000 watching Los Angeles' 5-3 loss to Sydney FC.
