It's still early in the Major League Soccer season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the SJ Earthquakes - DC United preview!

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

These teams have little in common geographically as DC United have to travel 1300 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
