MATCH PREVIEW #4: The battle's continue.....

ATTACHMENT

The "Match of the Week" features the derby from Missouri. BSL leaders, the Cure, will look to stay undefeated when they go up against Gateway United. A key one on one match-up will be during the Galaxy game. If St. Louis' leading man Buddle scores, if might not do them any favors if Donovan delivers the assist for the Saints. All of the Cure's RSL players have to travel to Crew Stadium, a place RSL hasn't had much success at. Also of note, Seattle plays twice this week giving them 180 minutes of action. So far the Cure have not had any close matches. Does this one have what it takes to go down to the wire all the way to Sunday?

Burud Town will get its first chance to test their new look roster against the Champions. For a club that performed very well until game 3, the Stags have been very active in the trade market. Montgomery County meanwhile has held firm with the exception of adding Palmer to their roster. Will he start in game 4 for the Monarchs?

Union S.C. may be confident, but still has concerns with Sasha Kljestan. He is expected to remain in the starting line-up, but has contributed nothing so far. As mentioned before, the good news is Zakuani and Evans will have 180 minutes to make something happen and Conor Casey loves playing against New England. The Greeks may have the benefit of seeing their RedBull players go up against and expansion Philadelphia defense, but in the opposite standard, their K.C. players are going up a stingy L.A. defense this week.

Capital District will no doubt be watching the SJ/CHV game. The club has Thornton protecting against a hot Earthquakes offense, while at the same time teammate Ryan Johnson will try to score against him. Going against the Gunners is Gold Coast F.C. The key to the match for the Suns might come early, when Dallas/Seattle hits the field. The Suns might want to score early in this one and build up a lead with McCarty, Alonso, Nyassi, Levesque.
