Soccer Betting Lines

09/11/2007 - Washington, D.C. (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - D.C. United forward Luciano Emilio earned his third Major League Soccer Player of the Week award Tuesday after scoring four goals in two games last week.

Emilio had two goals in a 2-2 tie with Chivas USA on Thursday, then added two more goals in a 4-2 win over New England on Sunday.

He is the first United player to ever win the award three times in one season. He was also honored for weeks 11 and 18.

United players have won six of the 23 weekly awards this year. Ben Olsen (two) and Nicholas Addlery (one) have also won for D.C. this season.

Emilio leads MLS with 18 goals this season. He already has two more goals than Jeff Cunningham had for Real Salt Lake last year to lead the league.

The MLS record for most goals in a year is 27, set by Tampa Bay's Roy Lassiter in 1996.

D.C. (14-6-4) has a four-point lead over New England in the Eastern Conference and is also four points in front of Houston for the best record in MLS. United is 14-3-4 since starting the year with three straight losses.

United puts their eight-game unbeaten streak on the line Wednesday when they host Real Salt Lake.
