Aalborg - Nordsjaelland (the link to the Danish telecast)

Marcus Tracy's debut? Michael Parkhust is sure to start.

UPDATE: Tracy is on the bench. Here's the play by play in English.

UPDATE 2: It's over, 1-1. Tracy did not get off the bench. Parkhurst did reasonably well. In the early moments, he let the opposing forward nutmeg him to create a dangerous chance which the keeper saved superbly. He also committed a couple of fouls, which if you know Parkhurst's game is uncharacteristic of him. The quality of the Danish league seems ever so slightly better than that of the MLS, however, so perhaps Michael is still adjusting. On Aalborg's goal, I don't know enough about defending to tell whether he should have peeled off the guy he was marking and attempted to go for the ball. His touch, passing, and positional awareness does seem to be what us Revolution fans have come to expect, and what is required in the tactically sophisticated SAS Ligaen.
