> U.S. Women defeat Three Lionesses on way to World Cup semis
The
U.S. Women's National Team scored three goals in a 13-minute span early
in the second half to defeat England, 3-0, putting on a commanding
quarterfinal performance to qualify for the semifinals of the 2007 FIFA
Women's World Cup. The USA got goals from Abby Wambach in the 48th
minute, Shannon Boxx in the 57th and a capper from team captain
Kristine Lilly in the 60th.

> United and Fire play to draw thanks to Moreno's luck
Jamie Moreno's errant cross in the 83rd minute was all United needed to tie the red-hot Chicago Fire on Sunday afternoon. After allowing an early goal by Chad Barrett, Moreno's attempt at a far post cross took a slightly different path and dipped under the cross bar as Matt Pickens actually withdrew his hand from the block thinking the ball would go over the goal. The draw maintained United's three point lead over Chivas in the race for the Supporters Shield, and put a speed bump in the Fire's road to the final playoff spot. [ full story +]
> Bethesda's Doll scores three times in three games for U14 YDT Alexandra Doll scored a goal for the U.S. U-14 Girls Youth Development Team at the Nike Friendlies over the past week in Los Angeles. Powering the team to three wins in three tries, the first gathering of the 1992 girls at the national level showed a lot of promise for the future. Katy Colas of Vienna also represented our region on the team. [ full story +]
> Baltimore Blast adds Buete, ex-Maryland starThe Blast yesterday announced the signing of Scott Buete, the former college All-American from the University of Maryland, four days before the team opens camp for the 2007-08 Major Indoor Soccer League season. The 27 year-old Bowie native looks forward to playing near home after two seasons each with the Chicago Fire of Major League Soccer and the Atlanta Silverbacks of the United Soccer Leagues' First Division. [ full story +]
> UMBC and James Madison draw in scoreless shoot-outDespite the misleading final score of 0-0, UMBC and James Madison combined for 24 shots and 18 corner kicks Saturday in a shoot-out at UMBC Stadium.

> D.C. United partners with DC Tobacco Free Families
D.C. United announced Friday it will form an official partnership with DC Tobacco Free Families (DCTFF), a partnership of the American Lung Association of DC, the American Cancer Society, and the DC Department of Health. United midfielder and 2006 MLS MVP Christian Gomez will serve as the campaign's spokesman in an effort to reach out to the Latino community. [ full story +]
> United begins quest for Copa Sudamericana tomorrow at RFK
D.C. United will begin play tomorrow in the prestigious Copa Nissan Sudamericana.

---- Editor's Corner ----
If you want a new Stadium for D.C. United, please sign this petition today.
Does the fact that D.C. United sits atop the league mean MLS's "Beckham Rule" is unnecessary? Maybe not, but from a purely competitive standpoint, it certainly seems like it's optional. There are several stories circulating the net on this subject lately thanks to United's top of the league position. Check out Frank Dell'Apa's take.
FIFA.com previews this week's Women's World Cup semi-finals. There are plenty of old scores to settle, with both matches representing chances for revenge for recent defeats. Brazil is looking to pay back the American women who beat them for the Gold Medal in the 2004 Athens Olympics, and it was Germany that ousted Norway from the 2005 UEFA Women's Championships. Don't miss the U.S. Women taking on Brazil at 8:00 AM Thursday on ESPN2.
