I'm hearing lots of Gallardo rumors. River Plate, Etudiantes de la Plata, whatever... just take
him. But why does Christian "Rain Cloud" Gomez have to be the replacement? Is there a playmaker
under 30 we can sign?

Important Ben Cup dates: 4-11-09 @ RSL5-23-09 Home
I encourage you to read the entire announcement on The Far Post, but here are some highlights:
"Given our play on the road, it seems logical that we continue to get some extra income
from our losses," United's General Manager explained. "I've spoken with Coach Soehn and we both
agree it is best to keep playing our bench guys and using formations we haven't practiced when on
the road so we can continue to lose but retain these important sponsorships.
3rd match in 8 days. It will not matter because DC United always gets up for the Ben Cup. After
losing the inaugural Ben Cup in 2006, DC fought courageously to draw the cup in the 2007 series.
All we ask for here at the Edgell Supporters is progress. And so in the name of progress, DC must
win the Ben Cup in 2008.
As the creator of the Ben Cup 2008 logo and a fellow Ben, we here at the Edgell Supporters, jumped

DCU Ben: Another Ben?
Congratulations to Real Salt Lake on winning the 2008 Ben Cup. I hope to make it out to Salt Lake
this summer to at least get a glimpse of the trophy that might never make its way east of the
Mississippi. With the way this year is going, this might be the closest DC United gets to hardware.
Maybe a visit this weekend to LA Chivas, who have some how found a way to have less points than
DCU, will get things back on track.
Hopes and Dreams for The Ben Cup Leg 2
1. 5-0 DC United. We have to win by this scoreline to claim the Ben Cup.
2. At least one goal from Luciano Emilio.
3. I'll be honest, I'd be really happy with a draw.
4. Little to no rain.
Vamos United!
As each MLS player takes their turn to introduce themselves on MLS Thursday Night PrimeTime we
can't help but grade their performances. We have two front runners as of tonight's game between the
Revs and the Hoops.

If there was an away game that I wanted to attend this year it would be this one: FUTBOLUCHA 2008.
Not only would I get to see DC United play against Christian Gomez and Facundo Erpen, but I'd also
get to see this guy:
