“We underestimate the rival”. The honest explanation of Jaime Moreno, author of the goal of the tie with which DC United was equal of place before the Salvadoran Firpo for the Champions League Concacaf on Tuesday, the 28th, serves to explain the porqué the rojinegros they were not capable of remaining with three points.
Although DC United has said that the international plane is a priority, that not condice in spite of having set to several substitute for the crucial party with Firpo. Now, DC will have to extract good results in three parties high level in eight days. This Saturday, the 1st of August in Houston for the MLS, where it must obtain points if one wants to support in career the playoffs; on Tuesday, the 4th in San Salvador against Firpo for the party back, and on Sunday, the 9th against Real Madrid in FedEx Field (to see related note).
The Dark-haired person declarations found echo in Luciano Emilio, who entered shortly before finishing the first fraction replacing N'Silu. “Firpo is a team that plays well and my opinion is that we should enter these competitions with everything, with titular players, because if one does not give chance to the rival who hurts you”, said the gunner.
Last year, the dense calendar of DC United brought as a result a high injuries volume, what in turn generated proved poor. Apparently the technician of DC, Tom Soehn, has wanted to avoid that in 2009 rotating players constantly. But the consequences of this experiment were seen exactly on Tuesday, the 28th, since the United of the first time was a team without life, without ideas and without order. Once inside Luciano Emilio (for N'Silu), Chris Pontius (for Dark-haired person) and Christián Gómez (for Jakovic), the team could begin creating opportunities, which did not come to fruition for the defensive Firpo exposition.
“ Against Firpo it is going to be quite or not at all. They have the responsibility of attacking. There they are going to have to risk a little more”, added Christián Gómez.

To a few days of the party of the year between DC United and Real Madrid, Christián Gómez remembered how the party was between both teams in 2006, when they joined in Seattle 2 2. “In this party the stadium was full. It was played by an impressive rhythm, by big figures. There were a lot of goal occasions. The truth is that the people went away very satisfied. I hope that in DC we could deliver a pretty party. Now we are going to be with many more people in our favor and that is important”.
Real Madrid comes of hammering 4 to 2 to League of Quito in the Cup of the Peace, with a big actuacieon of Cristiano Ronaldo. CR9 turned a penalty after suffering an absence after a big personal move.
Madrid will play the semifinal of the tournament with the Juventus on Friday, the 31st.
In turn, the technician of the Manchester United, Alex Ferguson, criticized the Real one. “It is going to be difficult to find the balance. I would not like being Manuel pellegrini and having to choose between all these players. I said to Ronaldo that it will end up by playing of mediocentro because they do not have anybody in this position”, Ferguson alleged.

There are two narrative lines that will be those who dominate the first days of Legg Mason Tennis Classic, which is disputed from August 2 until August 9 in the courts of the Rock Creek Tennis Center. One, the return of Andy Roddick to the courts after the incredible final of Wimbledon, in which it fell down in a maratónico divided before Roger Federer.
The second one is if Juan Martín of the Colt will be capable of campeonar again in the ATP of Washington. To this height last year, the Argentinian was coming to the climax of a gust that led him to gaining four followed tournaments.
This year, already consecrated and current number six in the world ránking, Of The Colt Open will think about how to prepare the way for the US. After a big performance in Roland Garros, where it fell down before Federer in semifinals, Of The Colt only the Cup Davis played before Czech Republic and hence his preparation began for the period of North American cement. Of the Colt it declined to play Los Angeles, but one hopes that it should take part in Washington.
Roddick for his part, played a big Wimbledon, but the defeat in five sets before Federer (in the fifth longest set of the history of this tournament, 14-16) it was a hard reverse that it found it hard to him to digest very much. Nevertheless, A-Rod returns to the courts in his favorite tournament and it is of hoping that he should adapt his game to hard court shortly.
Also, it will be possible to see Lleyton Hewitt, Jo-Wilfred Tsonga, Robin Soderling and Tommy Haas. The Chilean Fernando González appears in the list of players, but there is recovering of a tendinitis and has said that it will return to the circuit in Montreal, which begins after Washington, the same tournament that will see the comeback of Rafael Nadal to the courts.
