Ives is reporting that forward Robbie Rodgers and midfielder Pablo Mastroeni receved injuries over the weekend and will be replaced by Chicago Fire's Chris Rolfe and Columus Crew's (and DC United Alum) Brian Carroll.

For the person who yelled a racially offensive comment at DC United Keper Louis Crayton in Houston. Credit goes out to the Houston Dynamo security for nabbing the person responsible.

My DC United friends have problems with the team's goalie, Louis Crayton, but it has to do with his sporadic play and gambling style in goal. The team has been slumping and needs victories in their last 2 matches to make the MLS playoffs. East Coast elitists are so warped that we actually judge human beings on their merits, instead of ethnic backgrounds. People in Texas have other disturbing issues...
