DC United began with the right pié his defense of the title in the US Open Cup.
With a team "B", the rojinegros got rid of a bruised Dallas for 2 0 in the meeting played on Wednesday, the 22nd in the RFK.
If there are taken into consideration the last two parties of the of the capital ones, interesting conclusions can be extracted. In the party that DC joined in the agony 1 to 1 with New England, the United had countless occasions of goal that did not put to be useful. Finally Ben Olsen, in the minute 91, could compare the scoreboard and avoid the offense.
Before Dallas, the libretto was similar. Fred, before opening the account in the minute 21 of the first fraction, had two clear goal occasions, first a shot that went away turned away slightly and then a butt. “In the first one the body stayed very far of the ball and I thought that it was off side, therefore I rushed. The second one also, the ball was coming very long for the butt. But in the third one I remained happy, because it resulted in goal”, said the Brazilian.
The interesting thing takes root in that DC United touched the ball, it played with the ball given to the apartment instead of insisting across the long blow with a ball, and here the trident formed by Fred, Santino Quaranta and Chris Pontius proved to be especially effective to dismantle the defender of Dallas, which per moments turned out to be completely lost.
This is the identity of DC United, the thin touch and the mobility. “This week we try to practise together, with Santino [Quaranta] and Chris [Pontius]. Tommy (Soehn) also asked us to play more beaten the apartment and that's why we obtain a good party. The target is to be still like that to obtain the results”, added Fred.
Another positive lesson that left the meeting before Dallas was the performance of the beginner Brandon Barklage, in substitution of Christián Gómez.
Not only Barklage ate the court and showed fierceness in the mark and explosividad in the exit, also it noted down the goal that gave the calmness to DC with a tremendous auction out of the area that defeated the archer Ray Burse in the minute 66.
In spite of everything, this team "B" of DC United did not accuse a fall in the level and not only that, but also many players demonstrated to have holder's quality.
In the US Open Cup, DC will play with the winner of the meeting between New York and San Jose. Of gaining this party, the of the capital ones would enter the picture of eighth of end with other teams of the MLS that entered direct form and those of the low divisions.
Concerning New York, DC will move to this state to face to the Network Bulls de Juan Pablo Ángel this Sunday, the 26th valid by the MLS. And party begins at 3 a.m. pm and transmits Telefutura.
“ New York is going to be difficult, more still to play in artificial court. But good, we have some days to prepare ourselves for this party. For that we work during the week, improvement is appearing and that is good”, said Jaime Moreno.

What more does Gonzalo Higuaín have to do in Real Madrid so that Diego Maradona him of an opportunity in the selection of Argentina?
Perhaps amigarse with his compatriot Sergio Agüero, of the Athletic one of Madrid and son-in-law of the technician Maradona, and with several other members of the "Albiceleste", with whom it would be made enemies, as a pair of Argentine newspapers ventilated.
“ Pipita” Higuaín, which deserved several fronts after his two goals, the second one in the discounts, to give him to Madrid an epic victory with 10 men for 3-2 on the Getafe to continue in the struggle for the title of the Spanish league to the watching of Barcelona.
The ex-forward of River Plate is the maximum annotator of the team meringue with 18 goals, three more than Raúl, several of decisive them for the raised spectacular one of his team that obtained 49 of the last 51 points.
And it still does not play in the selection.
“It is true that certain players of the selection do not want it”, he wondered a from Buenos Aires newspaper, which he remembered that Maradona did not even invite it to a recent dinner in Madrid in which there were several Argentine players who play in Spain, between them his partner of Madrid Fernando Gago, the "Kun" I Predict and Gabriel Heinze.
" For Diego who looks at it for TV", he is the holder of the newspaper Criticism. "Maradona did not quote yet it".
The true thing is that the predecessor of Maradona, Alfio Basile, never summoned Higuaín for the chosen one and the new helmsman continued his steps.
Maradona was contradictory in his declarations on the topic: At the end of 2008 he said that Higuaín “in any moment is going to have his chance” and last week he emphasized that it does not summon it “because in this position I have many variants”, between them Lionel Messi, Omen, Carlos Tevez, Diego Milito and Lisandro López.
Higuaín, of 21 years, was born in France because his dad Jorge, ex-defender of River and Mouth Juniors, was playing in the Brest of this country.
The technician of France Raymond Domenech quoted it to “They Bleus” in November, 2006 to play a friendly one with Greece, and after a few days of lacks of definitions, Higuaín pushed the offering back because he said that his desire was to dress the "Albiceleste", something that for the time being was not given him.
