The playoffs
I'm still trying to figure out the new MLS playoff structure.I distinctly remember earlier in the year the MLS announcing that they would be switching the playoffs to a straight table structure, with no conferences. Then a couple of months later they changed it so that the top 8 teams, regardless...
Round 2... FIGHT!
So after several days of dealing with flooding in my basement, I'm finally ready to write about United again. (Why in Maryland do we have something like 59 days straight with no rain, and then it rains nonstop for three days? My sump pump and I are not happy about that.) Actually it was a pretty...
Blanco
I only weigh about 140 pounds, but I'm pretty sure that I could beat Cuauhtemoc Blanco in a fight. You barely have to touch him and he will go down.
Oh well
<!-- Converted from text/rtf format --> As soon as it was announced that MLS Cup 2007 would be played in RFK Stadium, we knew our mission for the year. That mission failed last night. But what a game! If the Gomez hand ball goal had counted to force overtime and potential penalty kicks, this...

I was hoping my 100th post would be a good one
DC United suffered its first back-to-back shutouts since *gasp* the 2005 Eastern Conference semi-finals. Talk about bad memories. Let's get this over with.No one really stood out to me actually. Even the beautifully consistent Bryan Namoff seemed pretty pedestrian.1. Jaime Moreno was one of the...
Reserves fall to 1-1
On an ugly rainy day, the DC United reserves suffered their first loss of the season to a Chicago team that was able to keep the ball in United's half for probably about 65% of what I saw. I only caught the last 30 minutes or so. Better turn out of fans than I was expecting with all the rain and...
All for you, Brian
This has been reported earlier in other places, but like most United fans should, I tend not to believe anything I read until I read it here. After five seasons playing for Fulham in the EPL, Brian McBride has announced his intentions of returning home to play in the MLS.Here's where I'm confused...
