GALAXY TONIGHT

at FC Dallas, 5:30 PDT, FSNW

Site -- Pizza Hut Park, Frisco, Texas.

Radio -- 1700, 830 (Spanish).

Records -- Galaxy 1-3-3; FC Dallas 5-5-1.

Record vs FC Dallas -- 0-1.

Update -- The injury-riddled Galaxy will be short-handed once again and also will be without Landon Donovan, who is playing for the U.S. in the Gold Cup, plus Ante Jazic and Kevin Harmse, who are starting for Canada’s Gold Cup team. The Galaxy, winless in its last four games, is 10 points behind first-place FC Dallas in the Western Conference, but the gap is deceiving because the Galaxy has played four fewer games than Dallas, which is missing Guatemalan striker Carlos Ruiz because of the Gold Cup. Galaxy forward Nate Jaqua fractured his right wrist last weekendand underwent minor surgery Thursday but was expected to play tonight.
