RFK SOLDOUT, 7:00pm, ESPN2



Big, big game tonight. Three points could give DC United sole possession of second place in the East. The problem is the fact that LA seems to have United's number at RFK. I'm sure the Galaxy players are going to want to redeem their showing in Sunday's match against Toronto. The major problem will be the weather. As we saw in Toronto if you pressure LA's midfield they will turn the ball over. Let's hope Emilio hasn't put his mojo down since the New England game.Gomez will be a game time decision but it is not looking good.

Possible line ups:


A lot of story lines tonight.


Steve McClaren will be at the game to evaluate MLS' level of play first hand.

With a goal Jaime Moreno could finally take sole possession of MLS' scoring record.

With a goal Christian Gomez could tie Marco Etchevery for fourth in DC United goals.

We'll get to see which Abel Xavier shows up, he looked pretty good against Toronto, so hopefully we get the revolving door tonight.

If Beckham comes on we'll get to see how long it takes Ritchie Williams to channel himself through Ben Olsen (it could be ugly).
