Kick off is at 4 p.m. today on FSN and Galavision, but the Galaxy are resting a big chunk of their regular starting lineup in what for them is a meaningless game.

Watch the Galaxy YouTube preview:

Today's game against Chivas USA (live at 7:30 p.m. on KWHY and delayed at 10:30 p.m. on FSN) could be the first of three visits the Seattle Sounders hope to make to Carson over the next few weeks.

Curiously the Sounders have never beaten Chivas USA and there's no better time to do so in what is a meaningless game for their opponents, but a crucial let's get comfortable tune-up for Seattle.

*The Galaxy face Sporting Kansas City at 7:30 p.m. at Home Depot Center (live on FSN), while Chivas USA travel to New York to face the Red Bulls at 5 p.m. Sunday (Galavision). The latter game is also on tape-delay at 5 p.m. on Prime.

*Apparently the next player decision Chivas USA may have to make (they are top of the MLS allocation order, remember, after deciding to pass on Benny Feilhaber) is whether to grab injury-prone, aging (I know he's only 28, but he's been around forever without actually doing much it seems) and little-used DaMarcus Beasley, who is apparently exploring returning to MLS after lo these many years picking up big paychecks (and little else of note) in Europe.

We get the opportunity to see Portland Timbers at Toronto FC on FSN so, here's an opportunity to talk about that game, and other games through the rest of the League.

Here's the SBN Soccer preview of the game and here is the gamethread from StumptownFooty
