LA Galaxy's Chad Barrett is excited to be facing Tottenham during their USA tour.

Barrett admits growing up a Spurs fan.

Barrett, in his second season with the Galaxy, said he found out about the high-profile match through a Twitter feed from teammate A.J. DeLaGarza.

"That guy knows about everything," Barrett said with a grin. "The latest music coming out, he's always on, that kid."

Barrett and his family once lived in London and they had season tickets to White Hart Lane.

He called it a thrill to be playing his favorite boyhood team.

"It's awesome," he said.
