| Pain. An injury in the abductor finished the period of the MLS for Fred. |
you news re-rocked the local soccer world this week. First, it was known that, in the party that DC United fell down for 3 to 0 with Kids USA on Saturday, the 4th in the stadium RFK, Marcelo Gallardo hurt the knee and was discarded for the rest of the period.
The "Doll" had a very hard period with DC United. During the time that was healthy, the of the capital ones enjoyed an important positive gust. But then he suffered his rupture in the groin (along with his partner Gonzalo Peralta) and both should have traveled to Germany, being produced on July 17.
In a brief return in the final of the US Open Cup in August, Graceful it played 10 minutes and the enthusiasm of gaining a trophy led it to declaring that it had recovered physically, but immediately afterwards he got injured again of the abductor.
The 32-year-old player, was to title in the game of the party before Kids USA, but his absence of soccer was well-known and little helped for revertir a complex situation, due to the absences of Luciano Emilio, also for injury, and Jaime Moreno, who did not play for his expulsion before Dallas.
Graceful it receives the biggest third salary of the MLS (1.9 million dollars a year), after White David Beckham y Cuautéhmoc.
It is clear that the bad news does not end there. Shortly after be known that the "Doll" would be out therefore it remains of the period, he announced to himself that Fred, the talented Brazilian mediocampista, also will not be able to play the parties that stay for an injury in an abductor.
This represents a proportions disaster for the technician of the United, Tom Soehn, considering the well-known fall in the results since the injuries began reducing the effectiveness of the of the capital ones.
All this is even more serious if it is taken into consideration that DC will face the three best teams of the MLS. The rojinegros still have mathematical possibilities of classifying the playoffs. But to assure it they must win to Houston this Sunday, the 12th in Texas, New England on Thursday, the 16th and, finally, Columbus on Sunday, the 26th.
The Concachampions does not count the defeats in, and DC takes five parties without winning in the MLS.
It is of hoping that the things should begin to revertirse and that the substitute players could turn parties.
In case that it does not happen and DC stays out of the postemporada, it is necessary that the club realizes a deep introspection on what it tried to do and porqué the goals were not reached.

criticism of Juan Román Riquelme |

Mouth Juniors was wrapped in a proportions scandal then that the Paraguayan Julius Caesar Cáceres criticized with hardness Juan Román Riquelme, idol of the supporters and the most influential soccer player of the team inside and out of the court.
Caceres accused Riquelme of being slightly united inside the court. He said that “she is a complicated person, some partners bother with his attitudes” and that “is not motivated wants to win” like Martín Palermo, therefore it should give “a step to the side”.
Soon, Riquelme discredited Caceres saying that “this boy gives me laugh, went away badly of all sides”; he said that “he eats in my table and is made to me the nice one” and that “it gives me row that a boy who did not gain anything for the club is allowed to say this to himself”.
Caceres tried to pacify the situation on having declared on Wednesday, the 9th in an interview “I failed on having spoken about Riquelme and when I returned to Buenos Aires I will have to sit down to talk with him”.
The president of Mouth, Pedro Pompilio, endorsed Riquelme and criticized the rear Paraguayan saying that “it does not know the Mouth world”.

| Big Leagues begin to define who goes on to World Series |

| It breaks it. Manny Ramírez has been the factor that allowed the Dodgers to enter the playoffs. |

One will be led by two teams that know each other of memory and a lot of friendliness is not had. Other one offers a duel between ninth that only one month ago were fighting to death to enter the playoffs and whose winner will reappear in the World Series for the first time from the decade of 80s.
Not badly at all for the series of championship, which began on Thursday, the 9th when the Filis of Philadelphia got the Dodgers of Los Angeles for the scepter of the National League (the party ended after the closing-time of the newspaper).
The pulseada of the American will be started on Friday, with the Red Averages of Boston of visit in Tampa Bay. Of bottom teams in his division the last three campaigns, the proprietors of house Rays are to four victories of advancing to the World Series.
In none of the two there is a clear favorite.
Tampa went out airy 10-8 in the particular series between both during the regular campaign, gaining the pennant of the East in the last weekend.
The keynote of the meetings between Rays and Red Averages was that they were loaded with animosity, one that comes of some time ago.
When the faces are seen again on Friday, the 10th in Tropicana Field, Tampa would take James Shields as a bottle opener. There was the same pitcher, whose blow with a ball to Coconut Crisp in Boston untied one a dispute that ended with a whole of eight pendent players.
With his payroll that ranges 44 million dollars, the most modest of four teams that are still alive, the Rays have demonstrated that they do not have complex although the defeats are the constant in his 11 years of existence like exemption.
“ It is necessary to go out and to stake it with everything”, there declared Joe Maddon, the manager who was in charge of extracting the Rays of the cellar.
You them Come up Red, on the other hand, they have another class of motivation. This will be his fourth series of championship from 2003, and they will try to rise with his second consecutive and third World Series in five years.
After burying 86 years without championships, now in Boston one speaks about a dynasty. Even the precedents seem to smile to them, after eliminating in the first round the Angelinos of Los Angeles, the team with the best record during the regular period, and have done it with a team that is alike very little that of last year. Manny Ramírez was transferred to the Dodgers to half of year, Curt Schilling lost the whole period for an injury and Mike Lowell has just been discarded due to a painful inconvenience in the hip.
Pero Boston devised them to go out forward, resorting to a brilliant squad of young people arisen from his system of minor leagues, standing out the bottle opener Jon Lester, the intermedista Dustin Pedroia, the central gardener Jacoby Ellsbury and the torpedo boat Jed Lowrie.
All of them have mated to ask of mouth with the veterans David Ortiz, Josh Beckett and J.D. Drew.
And also they guessed right the player with whom they replaced the Dominican Ramírez in the left forest, Jason Bay, who was fundamental in the series against the Angelinos with a pair of home runs in the first games of the series, and then to note down the career of the victory in the decisive divided quarter.
Speaking about Ramírez, the Dodgers are equal of pleased with the presence of the enigmatic gunner who takes the number 99 in his T-shirt.
There is not doubt that presently he is the most awesome batsman of the postemporada after kneading average of.500 with two home runs in the sweep of three games that his team endorsed him to the Pups of Chicago.
“ I came and did my work. I feel that it is a blessing having come here”, affirmed Ramírez.
