This was a hard-nosed game with both teams coming out with a chip on their shoulders. It was the defending cup holders against one of the hottest team in MLS.
And the tone was set early in the game when Mansally and Lopez knocked heads. Lopez was sloppy on the clearance and was trying to make [...]
The late game saw the top 2 teams from Matchday 1 do battle.
Houston Dynamo were riding high after their blowout win which saw them score the most goals of any other team in the tournament to-date. Las Chivas needed both posts and a missed penalty to squeak past their opponent. But no matter how much [...]
Matchday 3 matched 2 teams together in Group A that desperately needed wins. DC United was unlucky not to have scored more in their first game and had a string of bad luck. Atlante, on the other hand, just got handled in a blowout and looked like they never got out of first gear.

The opening game of Superliga 2008 was between the 4x MLS champs, DC United, and a storied team from the Primera División, CD Guadalajara (Las Chivas). And it truly was an exciting start to the group stage of the tournament.
From the US Soccer perspective, there isn’t a DC United player in the 2008 Player Pool. [...]
