DC United to Play in Copa Sudamericana

Boy is it going to be busy in July and August. DC is already scheduled for 9 games in 35 days. Now United has added another series of home and homes which should start in late August. I am of two minds about this. On the one hand, I am more focused on winning the MLS Cup and I don't want anything to distract from that. I see this as an enormous opportunity to get injured and exhausted at the exact wrong time of the year. On the other hand, since United's chances of winning the MLS Cup is probably 8 to 1, the more tournaments they enter, the better chance of having some sort of trophy to add to the case at the end of 2007.
