Stewart "humbled, honored" by Hall of Fame call

AMSTERDAM ? AZ Alkmaar technical director Earnie Stewart says he was feeling as modest and grateful as ever after beng informed of his National Soccer Hall of Fame inclusion on Monday.

The longtime US national team star will be enshrined alongside former US coach Bob Gansler and former international teammates Cobi Jones, Bruce Murray and Eddie Pope. For the 42-year-old, it was a momentous bit of news with great timing.

Despite win, room for improvement for US U-20s

GUATEMALA CITY, Guatemala ? The United States U-20 squad ran all over Suriname in their opening match of the CONCACAF Championship on Tuesday night, but head coach Thomas Rongen still feels like his team can improve going forward.

Sebastian Lletget, for example, found himself too deep, which also brought Conor Doyle too far back. The team let up for stretches of 10 minutes at a time. And Rongen?s charges could play forward more, instead of sideways or backwards.

US U-20s heavily favored against Suriname

GUATEMALA CITY, Guatemala ? After months of preparation, the United States U-20 national team arrives in Central America with a spot in the World Cup on the line.

The Americans need to advance from the three-team Group B, a relatively simple task on paper, and then win a quarterfinal match in which anything could happen in order to reach their eighth straight age group World Cup. Thomas Rongen's squad will be favored in every game except possibly the final but can't afford to lose concentration.

Opening 20 prove to be United's undoing vs. Revs

Two early goals proved to be too big of an obstacle for D.C. United to overcome in a 2-1 loss to the New England Revolution at Gillette Stadium on Saturday.

And while those two goals came in contentious circumstances, rather than throw blame elsewhere, the DC locker room was more upset with their performance during that crucial opening stretch.

Chris Pontius made his first start since last August.

The versatile attacker started and went 90 minutes in the win, his first significant game action since a hamstring injury knocked him out seven months ago and required offseason surgery. On Tuesday, Pontius said said he's fully recovered.

What made this moment such a cathartic one for Wolff? Consider that when he arrived in DC in December, he was a castaway from Sporting Kansas City, no longer seen as an option in their 4-3-3 offensive system after seven seasons with the club.

Twenty-seven goals in 10 games. Sparkling debuts from two of the league?s new designated players. Terrific stadium atmospheres, even in cities where the weather refused to cooperate.

There was also a rising star who won a game with his first career goal, a wide-open, six-goal game in the new Canada derby, and a powerful display from the defending champs.

MLS Reserve League returns, kicks off Sunday

NEW YORK ? Major League Soccer is re-launching its Reserve League this year, with games beginning this weekend.

The MLS Reserve League will provide essential developmental opportunities to players and is made possible by the growth of first team rosters from 24 in 2010 to 30 players in 2011.

MLS clubs previously fielded reserve sides from 2005 through 2008, benefiting players such as 2010 Budweiser Golden Boot winner Chris Wondolowski (San Jose), Omar Cummings, Jeff Larentowicz, and Kosuke Kimura of the defending MLS Cup Champion Colorado Rapids, and many others.

It?s time to Unite

Before the MLS team that would play in the Nation?s Capital had a name, Kevin Payne, Stephen Zack and Betty D?Anjolell sat in a lunch room discussing what the club?s future name should be.  Together, they had a vision that the club would pay homage to the grand traditions of our sport and that the team would galvanize a community that included DC, Maryland and Virginia, as well as the wide range of socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds of those that call this region home.  D.C. United said it all.

RECAP: D.C. United 3 - Columbus Crew 1

WASHINGTON ? Three second-half goals propelled D.C. United to an opening-day victory over the visiting Columbus Crew in front of 18,132 fans at RFK Stadium. Debutant Charlie Davies? two goals will get the headlines, but fellow newcomer Josh Wolff got the rout started with his first goal in a United uniform.

The lone Crew goal came from a Robbie Rogers penalty kick late in the second half.

Both sides began the game with five new starters compared to 2010, and the evidence of change was prevalent early on, as midfield and attacking exchanges were a bit out of sync.
