at D.C. United

4:30 PDT

Fox Sp. West 2, Ch. 52

* Site--RFK Stadium.

* Radio--KRLA (1110), KTNQ (1020).

* Records--Galaxy 7-6, D.C. United 10-4.

* Update--Cobi Jones and Robin Fraser return after helping the U.S. national team to a stirring 1-0 victory over Argentina. Now Jones gets a chance to play beside Carlos Hermosillo, recently arrived from the Mexican first division, for the first time this season. While the Galaxy is sound and rested, the same cannot be said for D.C. United. The Eastern Conference powerhouse is at the end of a grueling stretch of five games in 15 days. Marco Etcheverry has left for the Bolivian national team. Eddie Pope and Carlos Llamosa are nursing injuries and may not play. Jaime Moreno, who has scored five goals in six games against the Galaxy, is doubtful after spraining his left ankle in a surprising 3-0 loss to the Dallas Burn on Wednesday night.
