The Major League Soccer season is a grind.The first practices started in late January, and the league champion won’t hoist the trophy until Nov. 21. So when there’s a break in the schedule, you’d think the last thing the players would want to take part in is an exhibition game on a muggy July night. But that’s what the Wizards will do Sunday.Of course, after facing the likes of UMKC and AC St. Louis in exhibitions this season, the Wizards are a tad more eager about Sunday’s opponent: Manchester United.The match against the English powerhouse starts at 5 p.m. at Arrowhead Stadium.“It’s exciting,” said Wizards captain Davy Arnaud. “It’s not an opportunity you’re going to get very often. We play here, and they play in their league. For us to get this opportunity is exciting for our team and also for me personally for sure.”After suffering through a brutal 1-8-3 stretch, the Wizards bounced back last week with a tie and a victory on the road. So they have a bit of m

South Korea reinforced its reputation as a credible football force with battling qualities at the World Cup, but Park Ji-Sung admits their defence let them down having conceded eight goals.They came into the tournament among an elite group of just six nations to have qualified for seven World Cups in a row, along with Argentina, Brazil, Germany, Italy and Spain.But unlike the rest, before South Africa they could only boast of one win on foreign soil - a 2-1 victory over Togo in 2006.They added to that here with an opening 2-0 victory over Greece which set them on their way, before crashing 4-1 to Argentina and then drawing 2-2 with Nigeria which ensured an appearance in the last 16 for only the second time.But squandered chances saw them lose 2-1 to Uruguay on Saturday to draw a curtain on the hopes of millions of die-hard Korean fans who braved miserable weather to watch each game on giant screens across the country.The Yonhap news agency said 920,000 people took to the streets of Seo

Jermain Defoe fulfilled a childhood dream by guiding England into the last 16 of soccer’s World Cup.The Tottenham forward’s 23rd-minute volley proved enough to give England a 1-0 victory over Slovenia last night and set up a meeting with Germany on June 27.“I’m at a loss for words, what a moment,” the man of the match said after the game at the Nelson Mandela Bay stadium in Port Elizabeth. “As a lad, it’s something you dream about. We won the game, we’re through and I’m delighted.”Landon Donovan’s last-minute goal against Algeria relegated England to second place in Group C. After draws against the U.S. and Algeria, a match in which the team was jeered off by its own fans, England’s players were pleased to move on to the next round.“I don’t think it matters whether we came first or second,” midfielder Frank Lampard told reporters. “After playing well today we can worry about ourselves rather than worry about who we are playing.”U.K. bookmaker William H

SALT LAKE CITY — We’ve seen the Lakers win with their length time and time again but from long range? Not these guys.Lately the Lakers had been about as accurate from downtown as that computer trade that was in the billions-range instead of the millions-range that led to the Wall Street crash this week.But there they were in Game 3 silencing one of the most hostile arenas in the league, bombing away from downtown, hitting 9-for-16 (56.3 percent) of their 3-pointers in the second half and 13-of-29 (44.8 percent) for the game to hold on for a 111-110 win to take a commanding 3-0 series lead against the Jazz.Coming into the game, the Lakers were shooting just 31.1 percent on 3-pointers as a team in the postseason and the only two losses Los Angeles has in the playoffs came in Games 3 and 4 in Oklahoma City when the team shot a combined 14-for-53 (26.4 percent) from deep.After those losses the team swore off triples like Kelly Osborne swore off candy bars, but Saturday they feasted away f

At GDC, I had a chance to speak with Todd Morgan, a senior producer at SuperVillain Studios, about Fat Princess: A Fistful of Cake for the PSP. It was the second time I’ve seen the game, so I already knew what to expect. I already knew that the game features 50 percent more maps and more modes. It’s pretty much more of everything, which is never a bad thing when it comes to this team-based hack and slasher.Here are some quick tidbits and impressions from that interview as well as the PlayStation Portable shindig last week in San Francisco:NEW MAPS and REBALANCED CHARACTERS: So what does 50 percent more maps mean exactly? It means that players will go through six new maps along with the old originals. To make the game work for the 24 characters on screen, SuperVillain had to eliminate some pathways and shrink some of the maps. In the PS3 version, there were always three roads to enter a base — low, medium and high — but in this portable edition, the team had to make sacrifices a

What we’ve seen so far of Ridley Scott’s ‘Robin Hood’ has been full of grit, blood and aggression, the kind of action we’ve come to expect from Scott and his star, Russell Crowe, since they first teamed up for ‘Gladiator’ 10 years ago.In fact, previews of ‘Robin Hood’ have been so similar in spirit and intensity to the 2000 Oscar winner that certain folks around the Internet — perhaps even some here — have taken to calling the May 14 release ‘Maximus of Locksley.’But this new clip from the upcoming film (with the help of Cate Blanchett’s Maid Marian), shows a lighter, more playful side of the prince of thieves than we ever saw from poor, brooding Maximus.The lights are low in Marian’s chamber, fire roaring, and Robin of Locksley seems caught in a game of circumstance where the two, clearly at odds, must play a game of husband and wife as “a ruse to convince the servants,” as Marian puts it curtly.While Robin is game — “should you not be addressing me as ‘my husband’ or ‘my dear’?” h

Square Enix don’t just build games - they fashion entire worlds. Since the series took the leap from obsessive import fodder to mainstream success with 1997’s Final Fantasy VII, there’s been an ever greater focus on regenerating their recognisably familiar story tropes into unknown worlds and new battle systems, rounded off with a ever-changing cast of characters that have proven themselves diverse enough to pad out the occasional misguided attempt at a fighting spin-off.While it offers up a new beat that many fans will ultimately dislike, Final Fantasy XIII makes sure to rigorously adhere to the strict tics and steady JRPG rhythms of its now-established mould, though its stripped, pared and trimmed presentation promises an end product that will inevitably prove to be just as divisive as the oft-criticised (but utterly sublime) Final Fantasy XII.For all its failings, it’s impossible not to respect Square Enix’s adherence to their new mentality: to throw out decades of chaff from the JR

Lionel Messi is transcending his own game.GoalNews and features from around the world of soccer and the Web.Go to the Goal BlogOn Tuesday night at the Camp Nou, the stadium in Barcelona where he has grown up, he responded after his team went down a goal to Arsenal in the Champions League by scoring within three minutes.He then did it again, and again, and again. Four times this little Argentine darted and floated between the Arsenal defense, four times he scored goals that would have been beyond most players. And he scored four times despite slowing to a walk for long periods. Barça needed to conserve its energy; it has the biggest match in the Spanish calendar, at Real Madrid, on Saturday.The scoreboard might have read: Messi 4, Arsenal 1. Yet his demeanor when talking to media after the game was far from that of a star.What goes through the mind of a player creating his own history in such a theater of sport?“We started badly,” said Messi. “But we fixed it.”He fixed it, sure
