[nas] Metros to get Juskowiak

MetroStars forced to wait for Pole vault

In a perfect world, Andrzej Juskowiak's paperwork would have been
completed, and he would play in the MetroStars' exhibition match against
the Chinese National Team at Giants Stadium tonight.

 

Instead, the MetroStars will have to wait until Thursday night for the
veteran Polish forward to fly into Newark from Warsaw to join his new
team. Juskowiak, 32, could be suited up for Saturday's crucial home game
against the New England Revolution.

 

His work permit from the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service was
mailed to him yesterday, MetroStars GM Nick Sakiewicz said. Juskowiak
should get it today, allowing him to travel on Thursday and train with
the MLS club on Friday.

 

Juskowiak was the leading scorer of the 1992 Olympics with silver
medalist Poland. He has connected for 136 goals in 379 games with
Sporting Lisbon (Portugal), Olympiakos (Greece) and German teams
Wolfsburg, Borussia Moenchengladbach and Energie Cottbus. Slowed by
injuries, Juskowiak has scored only eight goals the past two seasons. The
MetroStars got him as a discovery player from San Jose for a third-round
pick in the 2005 draft.

 

Honored: Clint Mathis, whose two goals in the 2-1 victory at the Kansas
City Wizards were his first league scores since July 2, was named MLS
player of the week.
