The match also featured U.S. goalie Troy Perkins, who used to play for United here in D.C. Most of the regular players had returned to their MLS team or had taken time off before the start of the European season, so the backbenchers got to get some quality P.T.
One other tidbit of note: Grenada’s team nickname is the Spice Boyz. I am not making this up. Maybe this means one of them will marry Mia Hamm.
So which one of them is Sporty Spice?
In other football news, would the Colombians please stop shooting each other over soccer?
A Colombian soccer player shot and killed a fan for calling him “lousy” on Sunday, days after the player’s team lost a local championship, police said.
Javier Florez, a midfielder for the Atletico Junior team of the Caribbean city if Barranquilla, ran from the scene of the shooting but soon turned himself in to authorities.
Witnesses told police Florez shot Israel Castillo with a handgun after the 27-year-old electrician called him a “maleta” — which in Colombian parlance describes a “lousy” player.
Andres Escobar, anyone?
