*Click here to read my long profile of DCU's high-priced playmaker, Marcelo Gallardo. Unlike most foreign players, he opened up and had some interesting tales to tell, most notably the telephone call he received from Diego Maradona.

*Dan Steinberg's Sports Bog was on location at RFK for the VW-DCU festivities yesterday. Be sure to read all of his entertaining entries.

*The DCU-Chicago match tomorrow night at RFK is listed as a 7:30 p.m. start, but because of ESPN2's pregame show, kickoff will not actually take place until close to 8 p.m. So you'll have extra time to enjoy the tailgating in your VW-paid parking space.

*Reminder: The memorial service for former Cosmos, Dips and GMU coach Gordon Bradley will take place at 1 p.m. Friday at George Mason's soccer stadium. Click here for details and location.

*I'd love to share with you the sights and sounds of DCU's practice session today, but chances are, it is going to be closed to the media. And besides, I am working on a Denis Hamlett feature for tomorrow's editions and plan to avoid RFK today.

Back soon with comments from The Commish Don Garber about the early-season schedule.....
