caps.
The steady U.S. captain marked the 3-2 victory over Slovenia by joining Cobi Jones, Jeff Agoos,
Landon Donovan, Marcelo Balboa, Claudio Reyna, Paul Caligiuri, Eric Wynalda, Kasey Keller, Earnie
Stewart, Tony Meola and Joe-Max Moore in the century club at the start of his 90-minute shift.

Two big pieces of news today. first the Rapids officially announced that they'll be back on
altitude in HD this year for 27 games. That appears to be every non-FSC or ESPN game, and the two
ESPN games will be rebroadcast on Altitude. When the games overlap a Nuggets or Avalanche game the
game will be on Altitude 2.
Altitude announced Tuesday that it will broadcast a total of 27 Colorado Rapids regular season
games during the 2011 season.
Game coverage on Altitude will begin on Saturday, March 26, as the Rapids take on their
conference rivals, Chivas USA live on Altitude 2. Altitude will be broadcasting 25 live games
including 13 roads matches, as well as an additional two telecasts on instant replay via an
