Sol Sunday Gameday
It's a completely meaningless game - the Sol have captured the regular season WPS title, while the Chicago Red Stars are already eliminated from playoff contention - but you can watch the game beginning at 3 p.m. on Fox Soccer Channel.
Some unspecified Sol players will do just that this afternoon (while signing autographs, too) at the Fox & Hounds pub in Studio City.
A brief game preview is here.
The game is a match-up between Brazilian stars Marta and Christiane.
Notable: Sol striker Camile Abily (who has eight goals this season, one fewer than top scorer Marta) will miss the WPS title game Aug. 22 at Home Depot Center because she will represent France in the European Championships. The Sol is looking to sign a replacement for just that game.
