Post Game: DC United 1, Chicago Fire 1

By: jon | Comments 5 Comments

Like kissing your sister.
DC came out and dominated the first half, scored their goal, and went into halftime with a lead.
They came back out a different team, and were hurt by a mistake by backup keeper, Josh Wicks. Sloppy passing, poor shot selection, and questionable decisions by DC players led to the draw and [...]

Anyway, Chicago is rolling into town tonight, coming off of a strong performance last week, beating FC Dallas, 3-1. The only offense Dallas had was a 60 yard bomb by Kenny Cooper, so the [...]

Ok folks, the games finally start counting for something. We’ll start to see less of players like Brandon Barklage, and more of the Jaime Moreno’s of the world. And that makes me excited.
This Sunday, United travels to the Home Depot Center to visit one of the sadder cases in MLS in the last [...]

Assorted News, United Falls Again

By: jon | Comments 2 Comments

We’ll hit the big stuff first…
- The injury bug that plagued DC for the entire season last year has struck again, with a quad injury to our starting keeper, Louis Crayton, a pair of hamstring injuries to Fred, aka “Hamstrain”, and Santino “Day to Day” Quaranta. In addition to this triumvirate, our only rocksolid, [...]

…..Why?

By: jon | Comments 2 Comments

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?
I sure did. What in the world…?

Game 1 of CCC: DC United 0, Real Salt Lake 3

By: jon | Comments No Comments

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.
