Tuesday's ChivaClasico Column & More
I previewed Wednesday's Chivas USA-CD Guadalajara game Wednesday at the Rose Bowl. Read the column here.
BTW, two Chivas USA players - Gerson Mayen and Jorge Flores - won't play because they, along with UCLA goalkeeper Brian Perk and midfielder Michael Stevens, are in Egypt preparing for the FIFA Under-20 World Cup that starts Thursday.
ESPN will show all 52 games from the tournament, most on ESPN 360.com.
All three of the U.S. group games will be on TV, however:
*6:55 a.m. Saturday ESPN Classic U.S.-Germany
*9:40 a.m. Tuesday ESPN2 U.S.-Cameroon
*9:40 a.m. Oct. 2 ESPN2 U.S.-Korea
ESPN will also show the final Oct. 16.
A tournament preview is here.

Does anyone in San Berdoo realize the title notes the Galaxy, but the article is about Chivas USA?
