Galaxy at Chivas USA & a Bruce Arena Sighting
Blogging could be problematic tonight because of problems with the tubes and wires of the Internet thingie here at the Home Depot Center so bear with me (hey, it's only a $150 million stadium).
But former U.S. Coach Bruce Arena is in the building this evening so you know what that means. He didn't come all the way out from the East Coast just to watch. And the rumor is former Galaxy midfielder Mauricio Cienfuegos quit his coaching job in El Salvador today. I haven't been able to confirm that yet so if anyone knows, chime in.
Here's the Galaxy lineup: Cronin, Klein, Franklin, Jazic, Vanney, Beckham, Pires, Vagenas, Allen, Buddle, Donovan.
Carlos Ruiz is on the bench.
It appears Vanney has been moved to full back and Jazic is in the middle.
The lineup for Chivas USA: Thornton, Talley, Burling, Thomas, Mendoza, Savage, Marsch, Nagamua, Paladini, Braun, Harris.
Lawson Vaughn is out injured, although Maykel Galindo is on the bench.
Back later, the HDC Internet connection willing.

Good stuff about Mauricio Cienfuegos/El Salvador.
Keep digging.
