Van Damme will join Giovani Dos Santos as the two LA Galaxy players on the squad who face off against Arsenal tomorrow night on ESPN.
Van Damme is a key part of the LA Galaxy defense that has allowed just 19 goals all season. This year’s All-Star game will take place in San Jose at the Avaya Stadium.
At the All-Star break the Galaxy sit at third in the Western Conference with 35 points and have won four in a row entering the break. It should be an exciting game tomorrow night!
