InterLiga Preview: Zorros, Goats & More
Four Mexican teams.
Two spots in the Copa Libertadores at stake.
Two games at sold out Home Depot Center: at 4 p.m. it's Atlas (known as the Zorros and one of three teams from Guadalajara) against Pachuca (winners of five Mexican championships in the last 10 years) and at 6:30 p.m. CD Guadalajara (will Panchito Mendoza of Chivas USA be in the starting lineup for the mother club at his home stadium?) faces Morelia.
Both games are live on Fox Sports Espanol.
Previews: Atlas-Pachuca.
I'm going to wander around the HDC with a camera during the games and soak up the atmosphere. With any luck, I'll post a few shots tonight.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend: David Beckham starts on the bench for AC Milan at 11:30 a.m. on Fox Soccer Channel in a Serie A game against Roma, while Marta could be officially confirmed as a L.A. Sol player as soon as today.
