Chivas USA Wednesday Gameday
League-leading Chivas USA takes on Toronto in chilly Canada at 4:30 p.m. today, a game you can watch here for about $5.
Spanish speakers may tune live to Radio 690 AM (XEWW).
Toronto are without star player Dwayne De Rosario, while Coach John Carver is without $150 $750 after criticizing referee Tim Weyland in the wake of last weekend's loss to Dallas.
Meanwhile, press box colleague Luis Bueno profiles persevering Fontana native Chukwudi Chijindu, who scored his first ever goal as a pro last weekend.

Tim Weyland is the worst referee in the league. The last few MLS games he has been involved in have had poor outcomes because of his BAD calls. Teams on the pitch should direct the game NOT the referee! He could take some lessons from Prus & Abby!!!! Well worth the fine Coach Carver! I'm on YOUR side!!!
John Carver was actually fined $750.00 not $150.00.
Nick replies: Thanks for catching the typo.
