United welcomes an opponent short on international intrigue Second division-bound
United vs. Portsmouth
Portsmouth will bring watered-down roster
by Steven Goff D.C. United has merited
praise over the years for arrang- ing attractive international friendlies that raised the club’s profile and appealed to a broad audience. Until now. United’s opponent Saturday
night at RFK Stadium is Ports- mouth, an English side relegat- ed to the second division from the Premier League last season after winning just seven of 38 matches and having nine points deducted for falling into finan- cial disarray. The club known as Pompey, founded 112 years ago, is more than $200 million in debt and is on its fourth owner in the past year. Several players have gone in search of new employers and the club’s desperate pursuit of bargain replacements is under- way.
Despite a transfer embargo imposed by league authorities, Portsmouth was granted dis- pensation Friday to sign three players in the coming weeks. The start of Portsmouth’s pre- season tour to North America was stalled by travel problems, resulting in a 42-hour trip to San Diego ahead of a friendly against Mexico’s Club America. Once the delegation got settled, injuries began to plague the in- experienced roster, and then on Wednesday in Edmonton, two

players left with significant set- backs.
With several of his 19 players
unavailable or recovering, Coach Steve Cotterill will be hard-pressed to field a legiti- mate lineup Saturday for the last of Portsmouth’s four tune- ups.
And you thought United,
MLS’s worst team with three victories in 17 league matches, had problems. In D.C.’s defense, Portsmouth
wasn’t the first choice to fill a gap in the schedule. The English club wasn’t the second or third choice, either. Initially, United officials thought they were close to a deal with Spanish club Valencia. When those talks fizzled, atten- tion turned to Blackburn Rovers of the English Premier League. Eventually, D.C. reached agree- ment with Scottish champion Glasgow Rangers, but after the match was formally announced, complications with the promot- er forced a cancellation. In stepped Portsmouth, a team that will provide a satisfac- tory test for D.C.’s young players but lacks the prestige of previ- ous visitors to Washington. In recent years, United has wel- comed Real Madrid, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Glasgow Celtic and Boca Juniors. Two months ago, Italian titan
AC Milan, featuring Brazilian superstar Ronaldinho, drew a weekday crowd of 30,367 for a

3-2 D.C. victory. A fraction of that turnout is expected Satur- day. Further diminishing the
match is the forecast of extreme heat and humidity, plus United’s injury concerns. And while international competition is usually welcomed, D.C. is play- ing its fifth game in 15 days. Despite its dismal state, Ports- mouth has had some enjoyable moments, winning the 2008 FA Cup and advancing to the final of the prestigious tournament this year before falling to Chel- sea, 1-0. Under normal circum- stances, reaching that champi- onship game earns a ticket to the UEFA Europa League, a sec- ond-tier but notable continental competition, but the club’s fiscal fiasco made it ineligible for proper licensing. Six players from the 2009-10 squad were named to World Cup squads, but not one is here. Goalkeeper David James, who started three matches for Eng- land in South Africa, is looking for a new team; Algerian Nadir Belhadj moved to Qatar; and Kevin-Prince Boateng (Ghana), Aaron Mokoena (South Africa), Nwankwo Kanu and John Utaka (both Nigeria) stayed behind. Boateng, who scored Ghana’s opening goal against the United States in the round of 16, might end up with an Italian club. Ka- nu and Utaka aren’t expected to return.
On this tour, Pompey lost to
Club America, 2-1; defeated the fourth-tier Ventura County (Calif.) Fusion, 2-1; and edged first-year FC Edmonton on pen- alty kicks after a 1-1 draw.

VICTOR DECOLONGON/GETTY IMAGES Marta, who plays for FC Gold Pride, is a four-time FIFA women’s world player of the year. Freedom takes on FC Gold Pride marta from D1 “I’m playing well, but I think I
can play better and I hope I can play much better than I am right now,” she said. “To score goals isn’t the main goal, the main goal is to win the champion- ship.” The 5-foot-4 Marta began her professional career in 2000 in Brazil before playing for Umea IK of Sweden from 2004 through 2008.
She joined WPS last year and despite her accomplishments, she fell to third in the league’s international draft, where the Los Angeles Sol selected her. Each of the league’s seven teams selected four international play- ers. Ten of the 28 players picked were Brazilian, including For- miga, whom FC Gold Pride drafted first overall.
“I thought it was the right time to go to the U.S. and play in probably the biggest league in soccer,” said Marta, who also mentioned she would probably return to play in her homeland later in her career. “Hopefully women’s soccer in Brazil grows, but right now the competition is better in the U.S. Here, all the teams are very strong. It’s way different than Brazil because of the quality of the clubs, in terms of talent.” In Los Angeles, Marta scored
10 goals and led the Sol to the championship game, where Sky Blue FC upset the favorite. Despite the team’s success in
what is viewed as one of the top women’s leagues in the world, the franchise ran into financial troubles. In November, WPS was forced to take control of the Los Angeles franchise. When a po- tential buyer pulled out at the last second, the club officially folded on Jan. 27. This season, the St. Louis franchise also fold-
ed on May 27, shrinking the league to seven teams and forc- ing the league to create a new schedule for the remainder of the 2010 season. St. Louis’s play- ers were allowed to sign with other teams as free agents on June 1.
While that may be a rarity in American men’s sports, it isn’t in women’s professional sports leagues, particularly soccer. While the WNBA has had its fi- nancial and exposure issues, the league has had some support from the NBA since its inception in 1997. In 2000, the Women’s United Soccer Association became the United States’ first women’s soc- cer league in which all players were paid. It lasted three sea- sons and folded in September 2003, leaving the Women’s Pre- mier Soccer League and the W- League, which have both ama- teur and professional players, as the top two leagues in the Unit- ed States.
While the WPSL and W-
League are still operating, the WPS, a completely professional league, is now the country’s top league.
“Our goal is to, not only my
goal, but also of the other girls in the WPS is better exposure and more exposure,” Marta said. “I think it’s there and they’re working really hard to make it better.” Much like men’s soccer was
the focus worldwide this sum- mer for the World Cup in South Africa, women’s soccer will again look to garner exposure in 2011, when Germany hosts the sixth women’s World Cup. Marta and Brazil defeated the
United States in the semifinals, 4-0, before falling to the Ger- mans at the 2007 World Cup in China. Marta, who led the tour- nament with seven goals, took
home the awards for top scorer and the tournament’s best play- er.
With a bevy of accolades and accomplishments, winning the World Cup is one of the few goals Marta has left. She hopes 2011 will be when the Brazilian women do what the men have done five times — raise the World Cup trophy — and boost the growth of women’s soccer in a nation obsessed by the sport. “It’s going to be very hard,” she said. “The teams are very competitive, but we’ve already seen that Brazil has the ability to get to the finals and we finished in second, so now we’re trying to win the championship and we’re going to work at that.” In addition to the game, wom-
en’s soccer icon Mia Hamm will be inducted into the team’s Hall of Freedom on Saturday. Hamm played for the Freedom when the team played in the WUSA. “For me, the Freedom has been a big in my career and a big part in my life and to come back to the area and be a part of that franchise is very special for me,” Hamm said in a conference call with reporters Wednesday. “I’m so thrilled to watch two of the best players in the world com- pete against each other.”
