DC United to take on Real Madrid in Seattle

Star packed Real Madrid is making their way to Seattle to face not so local DC United. The game takes place on Wednesday, August 9th at 8pm (which is the same night Barcelona will be in Houston). Even through this will be a friendly, I'm going to guess DC will try to pull off the upset. Wouldn't that just put some icing on the near perfect cake that is United this season?

It is a little strange that United is flying all the way across the country to play this match, but I guess some folks for Real wanted a game in the Northwest.

Tickets go on sale tomorrow via ticket master.

In other DC United news, D over at DCenters has announced a major post at noon today "that will have a significant impact on the future of The DCenters." Speculation over at BigSoccer is that D is about to change his loyalties to the Red Bulls of New York. Unofficial reports have D saying, "enough with Olsen, Eskandarian and Boswell, I'm a Buddle, Mendes and Guevara man now."

It also seems someone has recently registered a blog titled ScrewDCentersIamARedBullManNow. More as this develops.
