D.C. United is embarking on a four-game road trip, and playing on enemy soil has been an issue for the MLS team all season.D.C. United visits Real Salt Lake on Friday in Sandy, Utah, to start a stretch in which it doesnt play at home again until July 31.Though the club is fifth in the Eastern Conference with 20 points, that 1-2-4 road mark is preventing D.C. United (5-6-5) from moving higher up the division ledger.We have to switch our mentality a little bit, D.C. United coach Ben Olsen told reporters. Its still about moving forward and trusting in the process. Considering we have four away games over the next month, everybodys going to have to do their part.I believe in our character, spirit and our soccer ability, and well be fine.Beating Real Salt Lake (8-5-3) could be an arduous task. Not only is the club third in the Western Conference with 27 points, but Real Salt Lake is unbeaten at home with a 5-0-1 mark at Rio Tinto Stadium.Real Salt Lakes last MLS contest was a frustrating affair, as it fell 2-0 at FC Dallas. The outing marked the fourth time in five games that the club allowed two or more goals.I dont care about winning 5-0 or 6-0, but if we win 1-0, that feels the best, defender Tony Beltran told the Salt Lake Tribune. Those are the games where you really have to earn it.You have to focus for 90 minutes and not give them an inch. We havent done that this year.Veteran RSL goalkeeper Nick Rimando has only two shutouts so far this season after recording eight last season. Rimando has 179 career MLS victories, one off the record set by Kevin Hartman, who retired after the 2013 campaign.Real Salt Lakes offense has been led by the trio of forwards Yura Movsisyan, Joao Plata and Juan Manuel Martinez.Movsisyan has scored a team-best six goals, while Plata (team-leading six assists) and Martinez have scored five apiece.Alvaro Saborio leads D.C. United with four goals. Standout defender Steve Birnbaum is back with the team after being away to play for the U.S. national team in the Copa America Centenario.Birnbaum is the stalwart of a back unit that has allowed just 16 goals, the second-lowest total in MLS.D.C. United goalkeeper Bill Hamid returned from knee surgery in late May and also missed time due to U.S. national team duty. He has an 0.50 goals-against average in four MLS matches this season.

Fatigue wont be a factor for North Queensland, according to rugby league great Petero Civoniceva.But former Maroons teammate Justin Hodges believes a tough NRL finals campaign will finally catch up with Johnathan Thurstons Cowboys in Friday nights preliminary final against Cronulla.Long-serving Test prop Civoniceva brushed aside fears North Queensland would wilt against the Sharks at Allianz Stadium.The Cowboys are coming off a 90 minute extra-time semi-final win over Brisbane at tropical Townsville.And they line up against a Cronulla side fresh from a week off and not affected by travel.It will be a huge challenge no doubt how they recover, Civoniceva told AAP.But their coaching staff would have been on top of it as soon as those boys came off the field.And they are used to the heat, they are used to the conditions.It was an epic game. It would have taken up a fair amount of juice in the tank but I dont think it will take its toll.But Hodges was blunt when asked to assess North Queenslands fitness.I think they aare going to struggle, he told Fox Sports TV.ddddddddddddhey had a tough first up game in Melbourne, flew all the way back for a massive game against the Broncos, and we all know how hot it was.Now they come against a side that has the week off, nice and fresh and ready to go.Time and again Thurston has stepped up to lift the Cowboys but Hodges believed the North Queensland playmaker may finally run out of gas against the Sharks.Thurston lost 5kg battling a stomach bug and needed a halftime injection to get through the semi-final.We all know what he can do, you can never write him off, Hodges said.But I do think this task might be too great for him because of their tough run.However, Civoniceva said the chance to go back to back for the first time since Brisbane (1992-93) would spur the Cowboys on.They are 80 minutes away from another grand final - there is a lot to play for, he said.
