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

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

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.

win the Ben Cup in 2008.

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

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.

If there was an away game that I wanted to attend this year it would be this one: FUTBOLUCHA 2008.
