Get ready for the Gonzalo Martinez profile pieces

D.C. United's hero from Sunday's win over San Jose is sure to be a target this week. He's a tough nut to crack for two reasons: 1) you darn well better speak Spanish, and 2) His game face for interviews and on-field stuff is pretty serious. Apparently, though, he's a total crack-up in the locker room. Here's some quick research on the highest scoring games in MLS history ahead of this Sunday's couldn't-be-better-for-ratings clash between No. 1 offense/No. 14 defense Los Angeles and No. 2 offense/No. 13 defense D.C. The over-under has got to start at 10 goals. From p. 290 of the MLS media guide: Goals Teams Date Score 11 COL-LA 5/6/98 at LA 7, COL 4 10 CLB-KC 5/2/96 at KC 6, CLB 4 10 NY-DAL 8/26/00 NY 6, at DAL 4 10 NY-SJ 5/8/04 NY 5, at SJ 5 Other items: Ali Krieger is an alternate -- along with Briana Scurry (the pressure's on you, Hope Solo) -- for the U.S. women's Olympic soccer team. The U.S. under-20 women face Costa Rica on Wednesday with an automatic berth in the under-20 World Cup on the line. Four notable matches in the U.S. Open Cup second round tonight: Crystal Palace USA (USL-2) at Harrisburg (USL-2), 7:05 Pittsburgh (USL-2) at Rochester (USL-1), 7:30 (winner faces D.C. United next week) Richmond (USL-2) at Western Massachusetts (USL-2), 7:30 Real Maryland (USL-2) at Carolina (USL-1), 7:30 |

Big fun for the big weekend

D.C. United leads sports in the Examiner. Woo hoo... Today is the inaugural World Malaria Day. Thanks to the great work of Chicago's Diego Gutierrez and others, this has become a big cause for Major League Soccer. Be sure to check this out. Got some spare time this weekend? Top of the list: More than 20,000 are expected for D.C. United’s match against Real Salt Lake tomorrow night. Despite the fact that we’re still in April, the importance of this match cannot be Whet your appetite by hitting Crystal Palace USA’s home- and season-opener tonight against the Pittsburgh Riverhounds at UMBC. The Hounds are staying in town, too, heading to Maryland SoccerPlex to face Real Maryland on Saturday night (conflicts with DCU, though. Ouch.) Speaking of Palace, apparently they’ve got a closed-door scrimmage against D.C. United planned for Tuesday. Back to D.C. United, whose development academy teams take the field at SoccerPlex on Saturday versus Match Fit Academy (N.J.) and Sunday against PDA (N.J.). Monday, back on the south side of the Potomac, we’ve got the highly anticipated prep showdown between Herndon and Westfield. I’ll post some thoughts on that one before the weekend is through. |
