LP Field to host World Cup qualifier
Posted on February 2, 2009 at 11:24 pmThe Washington Post says the U.S. men’s national soccer team will host Trinidad & Tobago on the East Bank April 1.
Awfully big stadium (68,798) for a mid-week match against the Soca Warriors –- no T&T supporters within hundreds of miles, I guess. I figure 12,000 in attendance.
