Gamethread: Chicago Fire Vs. Chivas USA, 3/24/13

It's game time! Chivas USA are in Chicagoland to take on the Chicago Fire at chilly Toyota Park (2 p.m. PT, UniMas). Both teams are coming off draws, with Chivas drawing the LA Galaxy 1-1 (not to mention the 3-3 friendly draw Wednesday against Chivas de Guadalajara), while the Fire drew 0-0 against Sporting Kansas City last time out. Both teams feel like they can beat the other, and Chicago will surely hope they can get some of that home field advantage experienced by the U.S. Men's National Team the other night in Colorado, as it will not be the conditions the Goats are used to weather-wise.

If you missed them, be sure to take a look at the match preview, and the three questions exchange for this game.

On to the lineups:

Chivas USA starting XI: Dan Kennedy; Mario de Luna, Joaquin Velazquez, Bobby Burling; Eric Avila, Josue Soto, Edgar Mejia, Marvin Iraheta, Carlos Alvarez; Juan Agudelo, Tristan Bowen

Chivas bench: Tim Melia, Daniel Antunez, Carlos Borja, Giovani Casillas, Jorge Villafana, Emilio Orozco, Steve Purdy
