SuperLiga Saturday & More
The second edition of SuperLiga begins today with a 5 p.m. game on TeleFutura between CD Guadalajara and D.C. United.
The Houston Dynamo-Atlante game follows at 7 p.m. on the same channel.
The MLS Players Union is apparently not pleased with that alleged $1 million in SuperLiga prize money figure the league throws around.
Which might explain statements like this from New England's Matt Reis: "We're somewhat looking forward to the upcoming games."
Still, Pachuca midfielder Gabriel Caballero (left) and Chivas USA midfielder Paulo Nagamura look pretty happy with the cash though.
Pachuca and Chivas USA - likely without goalkeeper Brad Guzan - play Sunday at Home Depot Center.
In USL games locally, the W-League Pali Blues, having already clinched the Western Conference, pounded Real Colorado 6-0 Thursday.
The Los Angeles Legends play Real Colorado today at 5 p.m. in Chino Hills. Admission is free.
In the PDL Friday, the San Fernando Valley Quakes beat the Legends' male counterparts
3-1.
In other PDL games Friday it was:
San Jose Frogs 0 Orange County Blue Star 1
Ventura County Fusion 4 Lancaster Rattlers 0
