WASHINGTON ? For Andy Najar, this June was supposed to be about stepping on the field and representing his native Honduras for the very first time in the CONCACAF Gold Cup.

But a tricky series of events and a back-and-forth between D.C. United and the Honduran federation threw a wrench in the plans, before Honduras coach Luis Fernando Su�rez finally decided late last week not to call the midfielder into camp.

Najar was back on the training field Wednesday with D.C. United, and the youngster will spend the next month playing for his MLS club.

Even though this will be an inaugural encounter for two teams steeped in tradition, there is familiarity between these sides due to a number of offseason transactions that saw several players swap teams. United and Portland exchanged goalkeepers, as Steve Cronin joined the Black-and-Red and Troy Perkins left the District for the Rose City.

Missing key offensive weapons Charlie Davies and Dax McCarty, both out with injuries, D.C. United became the first team in six to earn an MLS regular season victory in Portland.

It was a game that followed none of the familiar scripts at JELD-WEN Field ? and it included four penalty kicks.
