iU MARCO ETCHEVERRY Lilly each scored a pair of goals as the United States beat a world all-star team, 9-8, Saturday in an indoor exhibition game at Washington. The Americans improved to 3-4 on their 12-game exhibition tour. Pretinha of Brazil and Hege Riise of Norway scored two goals apiece for the world all-stars. AROUND THE WORLD I Ireland: Paddy Power, one of Irelands most well-known bookies, provided a small ray of sunshine Thursday for Irish soccer fans mourning their teams exit from Euro 2000 after Wednesdays playoff against Turkey. The bookmaker said it would refund all bets placed on Ireland to win the match.

The gesture will cost the company about 35,000 Irish pounds Ireland tied Turkey, 0-0, for a 1-1 aggregate score over the two-game playoff, but was edged out because road goals count more than home goals. Irish fans were doubly upset because the game wasnt shown on television. It was bad enough we didnt get to watch the match on TV without getting knocked out at playoff stage into the bargain, Power spokesman Paul Ryan told Reuters. I Slovenia: A crowd of 3,000 Slovenians braved subzero temperatures and snow at 2 a.m. Thursday to greet their national team at the airport after they stunned Ukraine and qualified for the Euro 2000 final round.

The underdogs tied Ukraine, 1-1, in Kiev for a 3-2 aggregate victory, Slovenias first major win since it seceded from Yugoslavia in 199L I Argentina: Boca Juniors forward Martin Palermo, who has fielded offers from Italian clubs Lazio and AC Milan, is going nowhere for a while. He is out six to nine months after tearing knee ligaments. Spain: Real Madrid coach John Benjamin Toshack was fired after criticizing the team in public. Madrid is off to its worst start this decade, eighth place in the 20-team league. Its more likely to see pigs ing over Bernabeu stadium than for me to take back what I said, Toshack said.

Olympique de Marseilles (2:30 p.m., ESPN2). The Los Angeles Lakers couldnt do it. The Clippers definitely didnt do it. Neither did the Dodgers, Raiders, Rams or Kings. This afternoon at 1:30, the Galaxy has a chance to do something no -professional team from L.A.

has done win a championship in the 1990s. The Dodgers were the last team from the City of Angels to win a championship when they won the 1988 World Series, the same year Pat Rileys Lakers won their last NBA title. The Galaxy gets its chance today against D.C. United in the Major League Soccer Cup at Foxboro (Mass.) Stadium. It wont be easy.

D.C. is in the final for the fourth time in four years, and boasts the most dynamic scoring trio in the league Bolivians Jaime Moreno and Marco El Diablo Etcheverry and U.S. national team forward Roy Lassiter. Moreno has four goals in five playoff games this season and Etcheverry has six assists. United coach Thomas Ron-gen said: Marcos a gifted passer and makes big plays.

Jaimes had his best year in MLS. He should be MVP of the league. Roy is Roy, he gets his goals, goes in slumps, and scores magical goals like he did against Columbus. Its nice to see all three clicking right now. Question is whether theyll click against the Galaxys defense, which held opponents to an MLS-low 29 goals in 32 games.

But her biggest save came last spring, when she salvaged her career after giving birth to daughter Myles Bliss. Kilpatrick, 24, gained 35 pounds during the pregnancy, and many of her Barry teammates quietly questioned whether shed return after taking the entire 1998 season off as a medical redshirt. Myles is now 10 months old.

The baby was born Jan. 30, and I was training again by April, said Kilpatrick, who leads host Barry (15-2-1) against Belmont Abbey (20-2-0) in the -v MARICE COHN BAND HERALD STAFF Divison II quarterfinals at 1 p.m. today. I was rusty and slow at first, and Im still not totally back, but Ive proven to those who doubted me that a mom can be a college goalie. She said she drew inspiration from Carla Overbeck and Joy Fawcett, the U.S.

Womens World Cup players who traveled with their young children. Its tough to juggle the baby and school and soccer, but my husband J.C. helps and my mom helps, and sometimes, I just have to bring Myles to team meetings or have people hold her while I practice, said Kilpatrick, who was named to the All-Sunshine State Conference team. People think Im nuts to do all this, but its the only way Im happy.

Fraser was named MLS Defender of the Year and Hartman was named MLS Goalkeeper of the Year. Moreno claims he isnt worried: I dont have to worry about L.A.s defenders; they have to worry about me. L.A. coach Sigi Schmid expects a physical (maybe even a tad dirty) game from D.C., which led the league in fouls (505), yellow cards (60) and ejections (nine): Everybody has this image of D.C. as a skillful team, but D.C.

also battles, scratches, claws and bites. SO LONG, STERN MLS lost its leading scorer last week when forward Stern John left the Columbus Crew for Nottingham Forest of the English first division. Financial details were not disclosed, but Nottingham reportedly paid MLS a transfer fee of more than $2 million. John, a 22-year-old native of Trinidad and Tobago, led MLS with 18 goals this year (and five more in the playoffs). Nottingham manager David Platt said: Its no secret weve been chasing Stern for some time, and were delighted all the hard work has paid off.

A number of clubs showed an interest in him, but I know he is excited about the prospect of joining us. He sure is. Its hard to say goodbye because Columbus has been my home for two years, but its always been a dream of mine to play in England, John said. MATTHAUS POSTPONES German World Cup veteran Lothar Matthaus, who is leaving Bayerji Munich to join the New YorkNew Jersey MetroS-tars (we still dont know why), will postpone his move to the United States from early February to March 8 so he can help the Bundesliga defending champions in their Champions League games.
