An impressive start to the US Open Cup has set the tone desired for the New York Red Bulls, and
with the team slowly working their way back to health, it is a vibe they hope continues.
The Harrisburg City Islanders will be playing host to the Red Bulls this Tuesday at the Skyline
Sports Complex.
Last Tuesday evening the New York Red Bulls defeated the Charleston Battery (USL-D3) 3-0 in a US
Open Cup 3rd round match. Included in the Red Bull line up was Tyler Ruthven. The problem was
Ruthven should have been serving a one game USOC suspension according the 2012 Handbook. The Red
Bulls defender had received [.
England's preparations for the European Championships have been marred by injuries, but the
Three Lions still have plenty of weapons to lean on heading into next week's Euros. We will see
just how much Roy Hodgson's squad has left when England takes on Belgium today.
The losses of Frank Lampard and Gareth Barry have hurt England's midfield, but Steven Gerrard
and Scott Parker have the qualities to keep the squad rolling.

MLS teams enter the U.S. Open Cup's third round Tuesday night, and while plenty of regional
bouts headline the night's slate, the non-regional ones carry some of the top story lines.
The Seattle Sounders begin a third straight Open Cup title defense at home against the NASL's

Anyone who witnessed the New York Red Bulls exit the pitch after last week's 1-1 draw against
Chivas USA would have surely assumed they lost. Players gestured to team management as they walked
back into their locker room. The team scurried out of sight as media awaited them at the door for a
lengthy period of time.

New York Red Bulls Head Coach Hans Backe is ready to take the US Open Cup seriously; that has
been the message since before the start of the season. Now, all he wants is for US Soccer to do the
same.

(Editor's Note: Over the next three months, PSP will give readers an unprecedented look
inside one of the nation's top minor league soccer clubs, Reading United AC, which plays in the
Premier Development League, the fourth tier of American soccer, and draws its players from
colleges around the country.
The Seattle Sounders' road to a fourth consecutive U.S. Open Cup title may very well end up
going through their archrivals.
Should the Sounders and Portland Timbers each win next week's third-round Open Cup matches, the
two will square off at Jeld-Wen Field in a must-see fourth-round clash.

The Dayton Dutch Lions failed to pick up their first win of the season in two tries this
weekend, but they did manage to put an end to the last impeccable record in the league.
The Dutch Lions ended the Rochester Rhinos' perfect start to the season and their six-match
shutout run by grabbing a 1-1 draw at Sahlen Stadium on Friday.

City Islanders hosting Long Island Rough Riders, who defeated Lehigh Valley's FC Sonic in last

Not even games on back-to-back days are enough to ruin the run of good form the Rochester Rhinos
are currently on.
The Rhinos tied the USL Pro record for wins to start a season while also extending their shutout
streak to six games by winning two matches this weekend.

When the Pittsburgh Riverhounds scored late to pull level with Orlando City SC, some fans
thought the game would end in a 1-1 draw.
It turns out that was far from the case.
Orlando City topped Pittsburgh, 3-2, in a thrilling match at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando,
Fla.
Toronto FC manager Aron Winter believes his club will make the playoffs. Really.
"We're making the playoffs," he firmly told reporters after Tuesday's training session.
Winter's proclamation comes after Toronto FC have fallen to 0-6-0, are a loss away from matching
the worst start in league history and have a bout at Rio Tinto Stadium with Real Salt Lake on the
horizon.

The Houston Dynamo are in a bit of a personnel crisis with suspensions and injuries taking their
toll on the club's roster, but the club augmented its defensive options on Friday with the signing
of a young Mexican left back.
Houston acquired Oscar Recio on loan from Monterrey, a move that frees starting left back Corey
Ashe to slide up to the midfield with Brad Davis nursing a calf injury.
Andrew Dykstra loaned to Charleston Battery for two games Goalkeeper will return to the
Black-and-Red next Wednesday
Washington, D.C. (April 13, 2012) – D.C. United announced today that goalkeeper Andrew Dykstra
has been loaned to USL PRO side Charleston Battery for two games.
A series of serious injuries have taken their toll on the Columbus Crew.
After centerback Julius James required surgery for a collapsed lung last week and remains out
indefinitely as he recovers, Columbus learned that No. 1 goalkeeper William Hesmer will need to
miss at least the next six months after undergoing microfracture surgery on his hip.

It might seem odd for two Philly guys to be happy about playing for a soccer team in Charleston,
S.C., but if there's anything Ryan Richter and Tony Donatelli should keep in mind, it's recent
history.
Richter, a LaSalle alum who played for Philadelphia Union last season, and Donatelli, a Temple
grad who moves from minor league Rochester, both signed with the Charleston Battery of the USL last
week.

The wait is finally over for Alex Caskey and Andy Rose. The Seattle Sounders signed the pair of
midfielders on Tuesday, which should essentially finalize their roster.
The wait was especially long for Caskey. A third-round SuperDraft pick in 2011, Caskey ended up
spending the season with the Charleston Battery of the USL-Pro.
Just a few notes...
* Didn't show it in the last game, but DeLeon has serious wheels. Had one decent run with
the ball, but looked blistering on a couple runs without.
* Not so impressed with Rozeboom this time around. Big effort, but looked more hurried in
his efforts and certainly more wasteful with the ball.
First half goals from Maicon Santos and Ryan Richter and a late goal from Hamdi Salihi helped D.C.
United to a comfortable 3-1 win tonight over the host Charleston Battery in their second match of

D.C. United Press Release:
D.C. United signs goalkeeper Andrew Dykstra 26-year-old a native of Woodbridge,
Va.
Washington, D.C. (February 27, 2012) – D.C. United announced today that the club has signed
goalkeeper Andrew Dykstra. The 26-year-old netminder joins the Black-and-Red
having completed preseason camps in Florida and Arizona.
DC United could find itself without goalkeeper Bill Hamid quite a bit in 2012 as the U.S.
national team netminder and potential Olympian stands poised to have a busy year. With that in
mind, DC added a veteran goalkeeper to help provide some cover.
DC signed former Chicago Fire goalkeeper Andrew Dykstra on Monday.
Sorry I was gone all weekend. It was quite busy for me with midterms bearing down on me along
with a Carling Cup final for Liverpool. But onto the important things.
United Started off the match under pressure. Dejan Jakovic brought down Patrick Nyarko in the
box for a penalty in the 5′.
D.C. United returned to Charleston, SC to compete in the 2012 Carolina Challenge Cup this past
weekend. United are the current defending champions of the preseason tournament having won the two
previous cups.
Apperently a return trip to South Carolina was just what the team needed as the Black and Red
picked up their first preseason win and new Designated Player, Hamdi Salihi, scored a beautiful
goal in the match against the Chicago Fire.
