Sol Sunday Gameday
The L.A. Sol (2-0) of WPS kick off their third ever game at 1 p.m. at Home Depot Center against FC Gold Pride (1-0-1) and need a win or a tie to retain sole possession of first place.
Notable:
*The Sol have scored four and have yet to concede a goal.
*Brandi Chastain did not travel with the Gold Pride for this afternoon's game.
*The Sol are without striker Han Duan who is busy back home with something called the Chinese Provincial Games.
*The Sol beat FC Gold Pride twice in preseason, notching two goal victories on each outing.
There's no radio or TV coverage, but I'll blog and Tweet from the game as usual.
