LA Galaxy vs. Chicago Fire
Kick-off 8:00pm espn2
While it is the return of must see TV on NBC, don't forget to tune in the LA Galaxy vs. Chicago Fire. Should be an interesting match as the Galaxy have their backs against the wall if they want to make a serious run at the MLS Play-Offs. It is always fun to watch a team with no room for error and last week the Galaxy didn't disappoint as they made easy work of DC United for their first win in a looooong time.

Drury University vs. NKU
Kick-off 5:00pm/7:30pm
Supporting local college soccer is a big boost to the teams, players and programs and also allows aspiring college players to get a glimpse of what college soccer is about. Nothing like getting a look at some top quality teams as the Drury Women play top 20 Northern Kentucky University at Harrison Stadium at 5:00pm.
That game is followed by the # 1 Northern Kentucky University Men's Team coming into town to play the undefeated Drury Panthers. Lots of Springfield S.C. and local ties in this game-and it is not oftern that a # 1 ranked team comes into town in ANY sport so go out support local soccer and see what being # 1 in the country is all about.

KC Wizards vs. Chivas USA
Kick-off 9:30pm Fox Soccer Channel
Speaking of local soccer connections, the Kansas City Wizards travel to LA to take on Chivas USA with more MLS Playoff implications on the line. The Wizards are led by Jack Jewsbury -yes Virginia you can be from Springfield and play professional soccer-who will be the next one?

Coming off of their two victories at the Razorback Tournament, MSU looks to continue their winning ways.

Drury Men vs. University of Indianapolis
Kick-off 2:30pm @ Harrison Stadium
Now for the BIG game of the weekend- no offense Beckham...but this guy is our own!
That's right Brian Fishback and the University of Indianapolis Greyhounds come into town to take on Drury. It would be great to have a bunch of SSC players out there to make him feel at home. He serves as a Captain this year and received many post-season accolades- including NSCAA All Great Lakes 2nd Team and First Team All-Academic Team.
Enjoy the weekend, good luck in the games and go SSC!
