UPDATE - Chivas lost 1-2 despite scoring first in Lance Parker’s debut for the senior side. Here’s the story from the LA Times which mentions Lance (w00t!) and from the tournament site. There’s also a video page which featured live streaming of the game last night, check back for a highlight reel and potential future matches. Did anyone see the game? What are your thoughts?
This one deserves a post of it’s own - there is a strong possibility that Lance Parker (Missouri State 2008) may play for Chivas USA this evening in the Superliga game against Pachuca CF. Game time is 7:00 pm on the coast, or 9:00 pm locally.
Anyone aware of a Mexican restaurant in the area that 1) might be open that late and 2) has the Telefutura channel (available on Dish) that is broadcasting the game?
Alternately, I’m sending out a personal appeal to anyone who has Telefutura and can offer me a tape/DVD of the game later this week 
Superliga is a second year competition between the top 4 teams in MLS and the Mexican League. Last year’s tournament was won by Chivas’ opponent tonight, Pachuca, while the defending MLS champion Houston Dynamo opened this year’s tournament with a 3-0 win over Atlante FC, the defending champions in Mexico.
Not all is well in the competition. But as Goal.com notes in their preview - although Superliga is basically an exhibition series, there are continental bragging rights on the line.

I watched part of the game on a webcast. Saw both the goals scored on Lance. In my mind you can’t really fault him for either of them as they were point blank shots off crosses. He had one real nice save between the two goals. Made some other saves none of which were pretty (sure he was a bit nervous) but as a keeper it doesn’t matter what it looks like just keep it out of the net. Would have been nice to get a win but going up against what many say is the best club team in north and central america i would saw he can’t be too disappointed.
I saw the highlights on Fox Soccer Channel tonight! He looked to me to be a little nervous on the crossing header that got by him, but picked up his game quite well from there!
