Post Game: DC United 1, Chicago Fire 1
By: jon |Like kissing your sister.
DC came out and dominated the first half, scored their goal, and went into halftime with a lead.

…..Why?
By: jon |Seriously? Why?
DC acquires Wicks from Galaxy for a conditional 2010 Draft pick. Any one else watch any LA games last year where Wicks was in the net?

Game 1 of CCC: DC United 0, Real Salt Lake 3
By: jon |In what you’d have to hope isn’t a harbinger of what is to come, DC United fell 3-0 in the first match of the Carolina Challenge Cup in Charleston, SC to RSL. You can read the full run down here.
The crux of the game, since the score is meaningless, is that three DCU starters [...]
