The LA Galaxy and San Jose Earthquakes are playing live in the California Clasico on the MLS Schedule and the game is from the StubHub Center in Carson and starts up past 10:30 pm ET from NBC Sports Network and the NBCSN Live Extra website and this comes after Landon Donovan made his announcement about retiring and thie will be the second matchup for the teams this season.
The Galaxy and the Earthquakes are playing a western conference matchup and LA comes into the game after winning last week against the Portland Timbers. The team has been undefeated at home in the last three games in Carson and they have been scoring consistently as of late. The team now is playing against San Jose and they come into the game after playing at Levi's Stadium and that was against the Seattle Sounders in a 1-0 victory.
The two teams played back at Stanford Stadium earlier this season and the Galaxy won that game 1-0 in a low scoring and defensive matchup and this one likely will be more offensive. The west standings are getting close and the Seattle Sounders are in first place in the standings over Real Salt Lake and the LA Galaxy are three points back of them and in third place and they have been moving up over the past few weeks.
The Sounders have been the best team in the western conference and they now have been overtaken overall in the standings by Sporting Kansas City and the rest of the standings in the playoffs have FC Dallas and the Colorado Rapids. The Vancouver Whitecaps are sixth in the league and they are one point back in the standings for the playoff spot, while the Portland Timbers are next ahead of the San Jose Earthquakes and Chivas USA.
The East has Sporting Kansas City in first place and they have played very well, while DC United is right behind and the two team are way ahead of third place. The standings are close the rest of the way and it has the New York Red Bulls behind Toronto FC, while Columbus and New England are in the five and six spots ahead of the Houston Dynamo and Chicago Fire, while the Montreal Impact are in last place.
