Because You Just Can't Get Enough Fred...

Fred is on his way. A DCU rep has met him in Latin America and will accompany him to Washington. Barring last-minute complications, he should be at RFK on Thursday night (not to play, but to meet and greet his new teammates). Still awaiting the "chat" between DCU and Melbourne officials to resolve the contract and international transfer certificate issues. Don't be surprised if he ends up with uniform No. 7.

Perkins is fine. Expect him to start tomorrow.

Tickets are selling at a nice pace. Team is figuring between 22,000 and 25,000. It will be a bipartisan crowd -- at best.
