6a00e54ef2975b88330133ec4ac233970b-150wi6a00e54ef2975b883301310ff0f8fe970c-120wi

The Kansas City Wizards travel west to take on the slumping Los Angeles Galaxy at the Home Depot Center.

Los Angeles may be leading the league in points, but have hit a bit of a skid recently with only two wins in their last six matches. The Galaxy will be glad to return home for the first time since August 1st where they are 6-1-1 overall. Kansas City on the other hand have caught fire recently (3-1-2 in 6 games) and find themselves just outside a playoff berth. To continue this recent success, the Wizards need to perform better on the road, Kansas City is 1-6-2 on the road this season.

I will be providing commentary throughout the match so please feel free to follow along here. As always, feel free to share your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.

Enjoy the action (Commentary is after the jump):

13rd Minute - Dunivant goes down and allows Kamara a world of space. The winger breaks free of his marker and fires a cross into Arnaud who beats Ricketts. It's 1-0 to Kansas City.

-----------

12th Minute - GOAL!! KANSAS CITY!! DAVY ARNAUD!

------------

11th Minute - Kamara gets through the defense, but his effort goes across the goal mouth. Great run, but poor finish from Kamara.

-------------

10th Minute - No Dice for the Galaxy on the corner as the Wizards arebeginningto play long ball. Not much action in the opening 10.

-------------

8th Minute - Cor! ner for the Galaxy. Donovan to take.

---------------

5th Minute - If there is a weak point for the Galaxy it is the veteran Chris Klein. Expect Sean Franklin to overlap often with the midfielder in order to provide assistance.

-------------

3rd Minute - Kansas City earns a free kick and on the effort chaos breaks out in front of Ricketts net, the Galaxy are able to clear the danger however.

--------------

1st Minute - We're underway, Los Angeles going to the right of your computer screen.

--------------

PREGAME: A decent crowd on hand tonight for the match against the Wizards. The ACB and Riot Squad have made it a loud one though.

--------------

PREGAME:The Galaxy come into the match with only a slim lead of 2 points on the Columbus Crew for the Supporters shield. Kansas City is eight points out of the playoff chance with today's results.

Brazilian midfielder Juninho is not available tonight. The midfielder returned to Brazil on Tuesday for personal matters, it is unknown yet if he'll be available for next week.

The Hottest Tour de France 2010 Podium Girls

The annual Tour de France is among the most grueling races in all of sports. But every summer, hundreds of cyclists brave the plains, the mountains, the sun and the rain of France (and often the surrounding countries) to complete the 3,500-plus kilometer trek. But why? Fame? Sure, names like Lance Armstrong, Greg LeMond and defending champion Alberto Contador will go down in the annals of cycling history. Money? Certainly, the winners make some dough from winning and from the sponsorship deals that can result. The challenge of it all? No doubt, there are some competitors just looking to see where they rank among the top athletes in the sport. But there's another reason to race. If you win, you get to stand on the podium with some of the world's most beautiful women. Whether they're delivering handshakes, kisses or the radiant yellow jersey , these ladies serve as serious motivation t
