Update -- Because of visa problems, starting defender Douglas Sequeira is stranded in his native Costa Rica and will not be available. Sequeira played in a World Cup qualifier last week at Trinidad and Tobago. Alfonso Loera should start in his place. Chivas USA seems to have recovered from captain Ramon Ramirez’s quitting the team for a week in the middle of camp before returning. “Things are good, and I’m happy,” Ramirez said. “I’m going to play strong because there are a lot of people counting on me.” ... Officials expect heavy walk-up ticket sales and close to a sellout crowd of 27,000.
