. Former Chivas expelled for Lopes Galaxy Man
Debut Califf and Agudelo in the new look side Chivas

Preamble:

never be said that the Guardian does not set the social agenda of the media. As soon as he published the first part of our role in the culture of football, watching Chivas USA, Thursday noon, Twitter began to brighten with # hashtags Chivas. After hastily erected a trophy room for the inevitable Pulitzer and spent a few minutes to do a graceful looking, we take a closer look at the tour schedule and deflates quickly.

seems that instead of writing emails asking us how we sycophants as good by a semicolon, Chivas had eclipsed us without grace, to embark on one of the wildest days Trading in its history. When the dust settled and the arcane foreign shares trade surplus of players, the distribution of money and the Beanstalk (our favorite) "Considerations for the future," he hissed across the country Captain Philadelphia Union (and rockabilly legend) Danny Califf and New York prodigy Juan Agudelo were on their way to California, while Heath Pearce was hunting apartment in New Jersey, and Michael Lahoud was added to the pool of midfielders that Union coach Peter Nowak remains occasionally on the parties.

More information about the players in a bit, but for reasons of fairness, there are two teams in Los Angeles, and tonight is a rare opportunity to see the other - the bravest Los Angeles Galaxy. The Galaxy responded to movements of attention is called Chivas, the enigmatic sending one of their young English players to Europe for a sail around before Superclásico dig and prepare for tonight against noisy neighbors - perhaps be secretly relieved that for once the focus was on their opponents.

If Califf Agudelo and pretend to be a hit in the arm a little heavy for the future of the Chivas team, Los Angeles needs a catalyst for their own. Winners of tonight's game Capture MLS Cup 2011 will have only one more point than Chivas and are 15 points in the Lake of the current leaders of the Western Conference Real Salt. Most of the damage for both teams was done at home - with Chivas lose all matches at the Home Depot Center in Los Angeles and do not look much more convincing on this point - the game of the CDC in Toronto, matches championship and losing to Real Salt Lake, in New England and New York. Given the statistics, the galaxy can not be happy that tonight's game is technically a road game for them - even if it means trekking to 40 meters in the hallway of the locker room and small distance with each of his players against a best post-game scenario be 19 to use the ice bath.

Anyway, I'll be back soon with more information on careers, previous meetings between the two, and some new teams for tonight's game. In the meantime tweet, your thoughts, predictions and allegations of bias or graham.parker.freelance electrónico@guardian.co.uk KidWeil @ mail.

More information on careers:

Looking at the net result of staff within and outside the Chivas (and updating of the money involved for a moment), seems to have broken even in the back by downloading a set of defense (Pearce) to establish a defense (Califf) - although in different trades. Other changes seen moving to a marginal player team (Lahoud) for a highly touted young forward U.S. (Agudelo), you can expect many more minutes in red and white for Chivas, who won in red and white New York.

So, in addition to the options to shake the backbone of the team, the overall results of these efforts seems a good value for Chivas in the short term - although much will depend Califf remains free injury and how much time remains for Agudelo. If he does well, the suspicion is that it will be in Europe sooner rather than later (in this part of the scene of any transfer fee will be donated to the Red Bulls).

Our regular game of Chivas overview Alicia Ratterree, the blog of The Goat Parade, wrote a full breakdown of the movement here, which is worth reading. You can also view the verdict of Alice in the game tonight and invited Josh Galaxy Guesman previewer, section 108 Blog, along our planned weekly MLS.

previous games:

As already mentioned, neither team was in great form this season and this game is configured to be perhaps the closest Superclásico few years. In the last years of the galaxy dominated the phone and unbeaten since mid-2007 against their neighbors - even if it was a traumatic 3-0 defeat. Since then, the Chivas scored a goal against the Galaxy in the MLS competition, and despite some net accumulation to play this season have lacked inspiration in the last third - no wonder they are directly Agudelo throw tonight I hope you have the same electrifying effect on his debut here, as he did in his international debut against South Africa:

The Galaxy, despite its impressive firepower facing the front, do not blow teams away on their way to the title last year, but he played with confidence that means their defense shut One goal was often enough to win. This year saw the fragile confidence. When I talked before the game Montreal Landon Donovan spoke of the need to mark for the first time in more games to return to the habit of dictating games. The Galaxy immediately recognized the impact of an early goal but fought back to equalize through a penalty kick David Beckham free special.

Team News

Chivas USA: Jazic Kennedy, McKenzie, Califf, Riley, Minda, LaBrocca, Moreno, Agudelo, Correa, Bolaños

aa

Los Angeles Galaxy:

Perk, Franklin, Lopes, DeLaGarza, Dunivant; Magee, Sarvas, Juninho, Nakazawa, Donovan, Noonan

Thus, the two signings straight into the side of Chivas, but a changed side in Los Angeles. Robbie Keane is not even in the 18 and David Beckham and Edson Buddle will not start. LA bloggers have asked Donovan to be pushed further the field, but these may not be the circumstances that could imagine that happening with Donovan inches later, Juninho could do to raise his game for the fans at Galaxy appreciated last year.

11 minutes: Chivas playing with urgency, a little more of what we have sometimes seen in 2012 - sometimes no one seemed home team this season, but they are trying to establish a rhythm here. They now have a free kick on the left of the box. What can you do?

19 minutes:

Josie Becker (@ LAGConfidential), another preview of our Galaxy and regular editor of the GAL Confidential, the tweets say " 20 'and was in charge of testing. Both teams seem to be thinking about how these new formations adjustment KidWeil @ "

She's right. Despite the strong play of Chivas Perk have not yet worked.

21 minutes:

Alexi Lalas surreal shot on the roof of the stadium, like a sniper / mad messianic leader. His eyes are on Califf and Agudelo and think the first has adapted well. Califf has looked solid when called.

23 minutes:

Bolaños becomes a little joy on the right side of Chivas, but the final product is still missing. Shutter release time to perk right after he cut inside.

25 minutes:

Dunivant shots in bad faith a ball forward that leads nowhere near Noonan. Galaxy looking frustrated and out of sync with each other right now. No game will get your break at all.

26 minutes:

Always

0-0

along the way. Good amount of breath. Little note in the other box.

27 minutes: try to get their Galaxy midfielder will triangles. Is better. They get a corner of Riley cross Nakazawa attempt ...

28 minutes:

decent chance ...! Donovan cross whipped in the corner and Lopes was able to achieve sound and flash a header over the bar.

Agudelo struggling with Franklin on the left flank, and both seek to corner. Franklin wins at the expense of a sudden. There are still many Agudelo.

31 minutes: not heard much about either Juninho ...

32 minutes: Correa issued a decent passing through the channel, but you can not work under pressure and pulled the ball is going to the other end, where Donovan and Magee try to get something for Los Angeles. The measure is broken though.

37 minutes:

Juninho does nothing to enhance his reputation crash into the wall. THE. A corner which was approved by Chivas awkwardly Tip of the pressure of the Galaxy, but Correa is able to relieve upfield forcing its way to the right. Game back to life as we head into the half.

39 minutes:

Alexi is back in review, thought that the cameras are not reducing their presence and roof shade instead of showing a very hairy face and morose David Beckham.

41 minutes:

Bolaños oversells a contact on the edge of the box. We have already seen two terrible penalties in the game today against New York to Montreal, but do nothing in this case.

42 minutes:

Game was stretched himself. Donovan tries to force the issue several times, but their efforts are like that - forced. It is not helped by his teammates the ball and not showing it.

43 minutes: Josie return:. "Negligence on both sides, but we begin to see the two clubs get together attacks, have yet to finalize KidWeil @"

'll tell you ... Furthermore Bolaños shooting and Lopes header flashed on - not really seen a dangerous shot on goal

45 minutes:

time thoughts:

strange first half - was rocked by a path that usually suggests a game from start to finish with many possibilities, but especially there was a lot of sound and fury, meaning nothing much.
Chivas has improved his game from their previous home screens and set the tempo for long periods. For Los Angeles, Donovan and Noonan are not on the same page at the front, but I suspect that if anything will come of the Galaxy ahead of the former from deep positions.
