Ibrahimovic will be in DC, says PSG coach

PRINCETON, N.J. ? Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be in Washington, D.C. after all.

And that's not all. He could also play.

The Paris Saint-Germain superstar was the main topic of conversation at Saturday?s pre-game press conference ahead of the Herbalife World Football Challenge match against Chelsea FC on Sunday night (7 p.m. ET, Fox Soccer). His new manager Carlo Ancelotti was very straightforward about his chances of debuting for PSG in DC.

Despite statistical domination, D.C. United suffered a second straight road setback in Columbus on Saturday.  Here?s a look at a few of the key numbers from the 1-0 loss at Crew Stadium:

436

Total passes by the Black-and-Red, compared to just 232 for Columbus.  In fact, United attempted more passes in the second half (235) than the Crew did all match.  After a quiet start Lewis Neal and Perry Kitchen helped D.C. grab a hold of the ball and control of the match.

All-Star: DeRo named captain

PHILADELPHIA ? Picking an all-star game captain is kind of like picking one flavor from a movie theater-sized package of jelly beans: There are a lot of options.

For D.C. United coach Ben Olsen, who?s in charge of the MLS All-Stars, it was an especially difficult decision, considering the 2012 squad is loaded with veterans like Landon Donovan, David Beckham, Kyle Beckerman and Dwayne De Rosario.

With Washington under a heat advisory yet again, D.C. United worked through another trying practice this morning.  The Black-and-Red had a few more spectators than usual as the team opened the outdoor session to local youth coaches for a goalkeeper training exercise.  Afterwards, assistant coach Pat Onstad walked D.C.?s three first team goalies through some drills before doing a variety of demonstrations with participants from the club?s summer camp program.
