Beckham. De Guzman. Live blog.

Tonight should be an interesting one. The newly-signed Julian De Guzman makes his debut for Toronto FC against David Beckham and the L.A. Galaxy. It will be a match of two of the league's better teams; Toronto's currently fourth in the Eastern Conference with 34 points from a 9-9-7 record while L.A.'s second in the Western Conference with a 9-5-11 record and 38 points. The game kicks off at 10:30 p.m. Eastern (7:30 p.m. Pacific) and can be seen in Canada on Rogers Sportsnet (not sure of the U.S. TV coverage). Join me here then for the live blog! (If you're looking for the CFL live blog of the Lions - Argos game, it's one post above).

Live blogapocalypse now

There are several key sporting events going on tonight, including the return of Buck Pierce in the B.C. Lions' match against the Toronto Argonauts and the clash of Julian De Guzman and David Beckham in the Toronto FC - L.A. Galaxy MLS contest. Which to follow? Well, it's time to make this blog live up to its name of Sporting Madness: I will be live-blogging both games simultaneously. We'll see how it works out, but hopefully, with enough caffeine, I'll be able to keep up with both of them. Both will be posted here in separate posts, so you can follow them both that way; the CFL blog will also be available through Out of Left Field and the MLS one will be available through The 24th Minute and Epic Footy. The CFL game kicks off at 10 p.m. Eastern (7 p.m. Pacific), and the MLS match starts at 10:30 p.m. Eastern (7:30 Pacific). Stop on by for one or both!

Toronto F.C. - L.A. Galaxy live blog

After embarrassing 3-0 and 2-0 losses to the Houston Dynamo and Vancouver Whitecaps in the past week, Toronto F.C. will be looking to rebound at home today against the L.A. Galaxy. They should have a good shot at it; they're still third in the Eastern Conference with 16 points, while the Galaxy are fifth in the Western Conference with 12 points and are missing their biggest stars (David Beckham and Landon Donovan) thanks to international duty. One advantage of Canada's failure to make it this far in World Cup qualifying is that TFC should have a reasonably intact lineup, as many of their international players are Canadians. They will be missing two regulars, Amado Guevara and Marvell Wynne, but those players are less essential to the TFC lineup than their missing counterparts from the Galaxy. Moreover, L.A. haven't won an away game in 12 months, a favourable omen for the Reds. Join me in the live blog below to find out if that streak will continue!
