Vs. 
WASHINGTON (AP) - D.C. United will play Spanish power Real Madrid in an exhibition match this summer.
The MLS club announced Thursday that it will host the Spanish League runner-up on Aug. 9 at FedEx Field in suburban Maryland.
The teams met in Seattle two years ago, playing to a 1-1 draw. United is second in Major League Soccer's Eastern Conference with three wins and seven ties in 11 games. In La Liga, Madrid finished eight points behind rival Barcelona, which also won the Spanish cup and the European Champions League this season.
Madrid lacks the star-studded roster of previous teams, but still has several world-class players, including Raul Gonzalez, Sergio Ramos and Iker Casillas. Any new summer signings would also be scheduled to play.
The game will be played at the Washington Redskins' stadium, FedEx Field, rather than United's usual home at RFK Stadium. To make room for the match, United is moving their previously scheduled MLS game against the Kansas City Wizards to Sept. 9.
Real Madrid to face Toronto FC
Vs. 
According to a report out of Toronto on Thursday, Toronto FC will be the second opponent for Real Madrid in their mini North American tour this summer. Toronto’s Globe and Mail reported today that the game would take place Friday, Aug. 7th at BMO Field.
A temporary grass surface will be installed at BMO Field to accommodate the Spanish power. Although no official word has come out, it’s being suggested that it may be possible to leave the grass surface in for the duration of the season.
The scheduling of the game has forced TFC to move its Aug. 9th MLS game against New York Red Bulls to June 13th. TFC fans are burning up the message boards with complaints about the short notice. They say that they have already made plans for that weekend and will now have to miss the game with Red Bulls. Additionally, the fans are upset that the Real Madrid game will not be included in their season ticket package. Toronto is expected to announce a second friendly opponent to meet their requirement to season ticket holders for a single international game.
With the move to June 13th, Toronto now only plays four home games during the summer months.
What do you think of the news? Plan on making the road trip? Are you a Red Bulls fan who had made plans to go to Toronto in August? Are you a TFC fan
