Take it for what it’s worth, but Yahoo has Bryan Namoff on the way out (I’d imagine after the season’s over) to the Greek league. As Namoff has become the absolute stalwart of the defense, the team would have a hard time replacing him. However, for Bryan, you’d have to understand the move [...]
Hamid Signs With DC United
By: jon | 1 Comment
As originally reported here (in The Offside’s First official scoop), Bill Hamid, Annandale native and academy product, has signed with MLS and will be on DCU’s roster as the third goalkeeper. As a result of this and other additions like Shipalane, Habarugira, and James, someone on the current roster will have to be cut.
Based [...]

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the last CONCACAF Champions League game my fiance and I will be attending until things change. The lineup put on the field to start was a sham. That backline had no prayer of stopping goals, as they had never played together, and one of the worst defenders [...]
Post Game: DC United 0, LA Galaxy 0
By: jon | No Comments
In the sprinkling rain at RFK, DC United attacked the Galaxy goal, strung together passes in the midfield, and played strong enough in the back to not concede. Unfortunately, United’s finishing and final third passing let them down, and the 22k in attendance had to settle for a goalless draw.
This team has been nothing [...]

Tomorrow marks the third inaugural “Beckham invades DC Tour”. I’ve been to the two before, and I’ll be to the third. In the two previous meetings, we saw two wins for DC, and the win last year in decisive fashion. The circumstances leading up to tomorrow’s match are starkly different, with DC [...]

A busy day at Offside HQ, and whole boat load of stuff to talk about. Strap in.
- First and foremost, roster moves. The long rumored, and now finally finalized move for David Habaruguira, defender from Anderlecht in the Netherlands. He had throughly impressed Tom Soehn, enough that he had this to say, [...]
Real Madrid 3, DC United 0

Well, you kind of knew it was going to happen. For 45 minutes, United was able to frustrate Madrid, keeping compact and with great goalkeeping. Unfortunately, you can’t hold back the ocean. There is a reason they’ve spent so much money this offseason. The attacking weapons that Real Madrid have, even [...]
DC United vs Real Madrid; It’s on

After watching my Chelsea FC’s diamond formation look like a poor fit for the Premier League, I will be heading to the concrete cooker of FedEx Field. I’ll be there in the second row, melting in the sun, and hoping we are able to get out before sundown.
I really don’t care how this game [...]

If you’ve been following me in the past week or so, or are a poster on BS or BTB, you might know that I was a tad infuriated with the team selection last Tuesday at RFK against Firpo. I thought that it was pure evidence that the team didn’t take the tournament seriously, despite [...]
This is it.

What happens tonight (at least in terms of fight, energy, and team selection) means a lot to a lot of people.
Don’t disappoint, guys.
I may live blog for those of you who don’t get FSC. If I get any comments asking me to do so, I will.
