I think going to bed last night before doing my writeup on the Champions League qualifier last night was for the best. As I looked online at all the familiar places, I noticed that every fan who wrote was angry as I was. I wasn’t to the point of clear thought last night, [...]

Disgraceful. I will be back tomorrow with much, much more on tonight’s abomination in the Champions League qualifier, but the entire DCU organization should be ashamed of themselves for putting out a reserve side in this match, completely disrespecting Firpo, and disrespecting the fans who want to see this club do SOMETHING internationally.
Man, I [...]
A Weekend to Forget (Updated)

So, for the first time all year, I missed a United game. I was in NY on Saturday in a place without the wonderful FSC, so I was stranded. I checked the score before bed on Saturday night on my phone, and saw us with a 2-0 lead, and I felt content with [...]

Well, the whole two half things has never been more apt. I don’t know what Tommy said to the team in the locker room, but it worked something special.
The first half was honestly the worst 45 minutes of soccer I’ve ever seen. I’m counting Screaming Eagles pickup games in that assertion. [...]
Exclusive: Ben Olsen to retire before the season ends (Maybe)

I got in trouble that last time I posted something unconfirmed, but under my new charter of “being unofficial, being irresponsible, and being the first to report stuff”, I’ll give it a go anyway.
I just heard from my source (the same one that said the Real Madrid was confirmed, and then it was later on [...]

Just like I never left…
This season is past half over, and DC United is tied for second in the Eastern Conference. With a record of 5-3-9, this United team has not blown the doors off, and has shown the ever maddening “flashes of brilliance” followed by the defensive meltdowns reminiscent of 2008. [...]
