It’s being billed bombastically as the British Invasion but don’t expect the Beatles or the Spencer Davis Group. Steven Gerrard will renew his rivalry with Frank Lampard when NYCFC roll into town tomorrow. He said “it’s war” but he also got um um… “respect” for his opponent. Maybe he should hire Floyd Mayweather for some real sound advice in trash talking.

They met 33 times in the Premier League with Lampard edging ahead in the win column, 15-11. However, the LA Galaxy are top dogs in the Western Conference whereas their east coast counterparts are situated one spot away from play off contention in seventh place in the Eastern Conference. Will Gerrard slip and let Lampard race away for a goal, eh?
