Sleeping Beauty

By: jon | Comments 3 Comments

When DC United decided to awake from it’s collective slumber, I decided I should probably do that same.

DC United trades a partial allocation (money) to San Jose in exchange for Ivan Guerrero. This, is a good move. Here’s why.
Our defense sucks. Horribly. Gonzalo Martinez is playing out of position in an [...]

Rain, Rain, Don’t Go Away

By: jon | Comments 6 Comments

So, I am doing a special guest DCU offside blog posting as I am a good friend of Jon. Not to waste your time with lengthy introductions, but there is a new sheriff in town (for at least today).
I am heading out to the RFK statium tonight to watch our home town heroes [...]

Balls! (For Kids) (Updated)

By: jon | Comments 8 Comments

This “just in”.
Marcello Gallardo and Gonzalo Peralta off to Munich to see a groin specialist (what a title!). If they need surgery, which I’ll assume they will, they are expected out a little more than a month. Bryan Namoff had this surgery last season and was back in three weeks.
Immediate repercussions? Well, [...]

Snap Judgements: DC United 2, Atlante 3

By: jon | Comments 3 Comments

Just got back from this “game”, and I have a bone to pick with almost everyone. So let me detail my shit list.
Moreno. Ok bud, you know what you’re good at? Reading the game, and holding the ball. You know what you’re not good at? Running. That’s helpful in [...]

DC came off an unlucky 2-1 defeat at the hands of Chivas [...]

Pre Game, Links of the Week, Access United and a Music Recommendation

By: jon | Comments 9 Comments

Wooo. After a whole 3 days without a game, DC United is back in action in RFK against Chivas de Guadalajara. Let me say this, as an avid follower of the USMNT, having seen quite a few US v Mexico tussles, I can say that I’m not a big fan of Mexican football [...]

DC United: Better than the Nationals

By: jon | Comments No Comments

I’m still at work, and still pretty busy (or at least, don’t want to be caught blogging), but an interesting post just came my way, and I figured I’d share it.
Disclaimer: I am a Nationals fan, one that knows we suck. A lot. I used to blog about them, but then the suck [...]

Midweek Duldrums

By: jon | Comments 2 Comments

I have found myself bored this week. I think it had to do with the emotional high of the LA match, the inability to go to the Rochester match on Tuesday, and the lack of another game until next Tuesday (which I need a ride to). So I troll the other DC blogs [...]

MidDay Roundup

By: jon | Comments 29 Comments

Big tip of the Hat to Donovan over at DCenters. He channeled his Swami skills and sucked this post out of my brain, and put it ever so eloquently on his blog. So, go check it out. And I’ll start wearing my tin foil hat to keep all my ideas in from [...]
