MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico will play Venezuela in an exhibition soccer game at San Diego on March 29. The Mexican federation announced the match on Thursday.

Mexico plays Bosnia-Herzegovina on Feb. 9 at Atlanta and Paraguay on March 26 at Oakland, Calif. All three are FIFA fixture dates, making it possible for the teams to bring in players from European clubs.

Mexico was eliminated from last year's World Cup in the second round by Argentina and is rebuilding under new coach Jose Manuel de la Torre. De la Torre, who replaced Javier Aguirre, makes his debut against Bosnia.

Onalfo hired as assistant coach of Galaxy

CARSON, Calif. (AP) — Former D.C. United coach Curt Onalfo has been hired as an assistant coach of the Los Angeles Galaxy.

Onalfo, who played 13 games for the Galaxy in 1996, will coach the Los Angeles reserve team. He will be reunited with Bruce Arena, who hired Onalfo as an assistant with the U.S. national team from 2003-06.

Onalfo was head coach of Kansas City from 2007-09, then coached D.C. United last year until he was fired in August. His hiring was announced Thursday.

Berbatov's hot scoring run masking Rooney's woes

LONDON (AP) — Dimitar Berbatov's hot goal-scoring run is helping to mask Wayne Rooney's struggles as treble-chasing Manchester United goes to Southampton in the FA Cup on Saturday.

Another two goals for Berbatov on Tuesday enabled the Premier League leaders to rally for a 3-2 victory at Blackpool and took the Bulgarian's tally for the season to 19.

The 30.75-million pound (then $55-million) recruit has already scored more than in each of his previous two seasons since joining from Tottenham in 2008.

"Dimitar is having a fantastic season and long may it continue," United midfielder Darren Fletcher said. "His confidence is really high and he probably feels as though he could score every time he gets the ball.

"He is putting himself into goalscoring areas, which is why his goal tally is rising so quickly. He is getting into areas that hurt teams. Strikers want to score fantastic goals but tap-ins are just as important."

It was telling that United's fightback from two goals down at Blackpool only began in the 72nd minute once Rooney had been hauled off by manager Alex Ferguson and replaced by younger striker Javier Hernandez.

While the 22-year-old Hernandez has scored nine times in his first season in English football, Rooney has netted just three during a campaign marred by personal, contractual and injury problems.

The 25-year-old Rooney's tally was 20 at this stage last season before going on to net 33 in total and he has since been handed a lucrative new contract after threatening to leave Old Trafford.

Hernandez, though, has emerged as a more crucial member of the team, which is also in the last-16 of the Champions League.

"He's a natural goalscorer," Fletcher said of the Mexican. "He's still young and improving his game, but one thing he has got is the eye for a goal, to be in the right place at the right time. He shows coolness and composure with his finishing."

United, which reached the fourth round of the FA Cup by beating Liverpool, has won the competition a record eleven times but not since 2004.

The team was denied the title in the 1976 final by Southampton, which was then playing in the second tier and is now a division lower down. The teams last met in the third round of the FA Cup two years ago when United won 3-0 at St. Mary's.

The current holders are also in action on Saturday, with Chelsea traveling to Everton — the team it beat in the 2009 final — after finally discovering the form that also helped Carlo Ancelotti's team win the Premier League last May.

The return of key players to full fitness has coincided with the Blues winning their last three matches by scoring 13 goals without reply, starting with a 7-0 rout of Ipswich in the FA Cup third round.

Chelsea, though, remains fourth in the Premier League — 10 points behind leader United.

"As we said before the Ipswich game, we are looking for a run and we've got now three victories in a row, three clean sheets in a row, we scored lots of goals," Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech said. "I think this is the run you need to forget about the bad moment, the bad period we experienced."

The pressure on Arsenal has been to deliver a first trophy since the 2005 FA Cup. The Gunners already have one Wembley Stadium final to look forward to next month after beating Ipswich in the semifinals of the League Cup on Tuesday.

"We play Huddersfield (in the FA Cup fourth round) on Sunday at the Emirates, so to be capable to focus on that game will be vital for us," Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said. "We have a chance to deliver, but it will be down to delivering the needed performance on the day. That is part of mental strength as well."

Manchester City's trophy drought stretches back even longer than Arsenal's to the 1976 League Cup final. City, which is third in the Premier League, goes to third-tier club Notts County in the FA Cup on Sunday.

Also Sunday, Tottenham travels across London to face Premier League rival Fulham, West Ham — the Premier League's bottom club — hosts Nottingham Forest and Wolverhampton takes on Stoke.

Saturday's other fourth-round fixtures are: Aston Villa vs. Blackburn; Birmingham vs. Coventry; Bolton vs. Wigan; Burnley vs. Burton Albion; Sheffield Wednesday vs. Hereford; Stevenage vs. Reading; Swansea vs. Leyton Orient; Torquay vs. Crawley Town; and Watford vs. Brighton.

Barca looks to avenge Hercules loss, equal record

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Barcelona heads to Hercules on Saturday looking to avenge its only league loss this season with a record-equaling win that will maintain the pressure on second-place Real Madrid.

Hercules stunned the two-time defending champions at the Camp Nou stadium in September when Nelson Valdez's double gave it a 2-0 win. But Barcelona rebounded from that defeat with a club record run of 28 games without defeat, and can now equal Madrid's 1960-61 record streak of 15 straight league wins with a victory at Hercules.

Pep Guardiola's side has outscored opponents 33-4 to win all nine of its away games and is coming off its fifth 5-0 victory of the season after routing Almeria midweek in the Copa del Rey.

Despite Barcelona's great play, Hercules coach Esteban Vigo thinks his team can repeat the upset.

"According to the sports talk shows, we probably don't have a chance, but I am convinced that is not the case," Vigo said.

Hercules is 12th in the standings and capable of both the best and the worst. In addition to beating Barcelona, the Alicante side has also downed Sevilla and Atletico Madrid, but it has lost by the score of 3-0 five times and hasn't netted a goal in back-to-back losses.

The game should provide goals with Hercules' David Trezeguet up against Barcelona's strike trio of Lionel Messi, David Villa and Pedro Rodriguez, who are in excellent scoring form with a total 44 goals in league action.

But Sergio Busquets, who extended his contract with Barcelona until 2015 on Thursday, said the impressive numbers don't matter.

"We are interested in what we have achieved by the end of the season, not the statistics or the records," the Spain midfielder said.

On Sunday, Emmanuel Adebayor could make his Madrid debut against Osasuna, a team that has only lost once at home.

Madrid barely edged Osasuna 1-0 in the first encounter this season, and the Pamplona side is always tough with its fans behind it.

Jose Mourinho's team has been grinding out hard-fought victories and has won its last two games 1-0 thanks to winners from the much-questioned striker Karim Benzema.

Benzema has not provided the scoring punch to fill in for injured striker Gonzalo Higuain with only two goals in the league, and Mourinho's calls for another scorer were finally answered with the arrival of Adebayor on loan from Manchester City.

Madrid will have to hope its new signing will not create distractions in the locker room because Barcelona will most likely take full advantage of any slip up.

"Barcelona are playing fantastic football at the moment but you never know in football," the Togo international said. "We just have to wait for them to lose points and go ahead of them. We just have to give everything and see."

Sunday also features a meeting between the two surprises of the league when third-place Villarreal is at fifth-place Espanyol.

Espanyol has won eight of nine games at the Prat-Cornella stadium .
