Los Angeles, CA–(HISPANIC
PR WIRE BUSINESS WIRE)–May 5, 2005–MLS Season 10 marks the third consecutive
year that Fox Sports en Español will carry national telecasts from the
premier soccer league in the United States. Fox Sports en Español
began its transmissions of the 2005 season on April 2 with the opening day match
between Columbus Crew and the Los Angeles Galaxy. The all-sports Spanish-language
network will broadcast 29 regular season games, as well as a selection of playoff
matches from each of the MLS teams, including new expansion teams Club Deportivo
Chivas USA and Real Salt Lake.
Chivas USA will try to carry
on the tradition of its Mexican League counterpart CD Guadalajara here in the
United States. Legendary midfielder Ramon Ramirez, who played for the Mexican
national team in two World Cups (1994 and 1998), and won a Mexican league title
with Chivas of Guadalajara in the Verano 1997 tournament, hopes to lead the
U.S. counterpart to a successful season although they have had a tumultuous
start. Based out of Carson, California, the team will share a home with the
Los Angeles Galaxy.
Former Galaxy player, Carlos
Ruiz, who was named an All-Star in each of his first two seasons in MLS, as
well as MLS Player of the Month for August 2004, will pave the way for FC Dallas
as their season gets underway. Meanwhile in New York, the MetroStars head into
the 2005 season looking for a breakout year from their dynamic playmaker Amado
Guevara. The Honduran midfielder received the League Scoring Champion award
with 30 points in 2004, was named the 2004 MLS MVP, and was the recipient of
the 2004 Premios Fox Sports Outstanding MLS Player of the Year. MLS Season
10 will prove to be the most exciting season yet.
