No Comments
As was previously stated here (okay, I was off by a little bit), it looks like Ben Olsen is going to hang up his boots. Although it could have been easily guessed that his time was running out, Olsen has decided that either pain or other considerations have made it undesirable to continue his [...]
Shipalane to remain with DC United for 2010 (UPDATE)
By: jon | 3 Comments
Little tidbit: Shipalane will be with DCU next year, says the man himself on Pennlive.com. So, that’s one name you can pencil in for next year.
UPDATE- Now this is funny….when I linked this page earlier today, there was a question in which Shipalane was asked if he knew his situation for the upcoming year, [...]
Category: DC United Team NewsBreaking: Tom Soehn out at DCU Manager
By: jon | 2 Comments
Just coming out at Behind the Badge, Tom Soehn will not be back next year as DC United’s manager. This was the move you knew would happen, as two years out of the playoffs is just not acceptable to anyone involved.
The harder decisions (roster) are forthcoming, and hopefully, a good search can [...]

By: jon | 3 Comments
As always, Mr. Unprecedented Access, Steve Goff, has a sit down with Kevin Payne and Tom Soehn over on his blog. Some big quotes…
“We don’t want to play like Colorado or New England, which most of the season sat with eight or nine guys behind the ball. How many people go to watch Colorado [...]
Annnnd Scene: The close of the 2009 DCU Season
By: jon | No Comments
I won’t write what I wanted to write after watching the Kansas City game, because the more I kicked it around, it was a trite and cliche angle. The game was exciting, and the team fought as hard as they could (in the second half). Reckless desperation is always pretty fun to watch, [...]

By: jon | 1 Comment
Well, the long winding MLS season has come down to this: needing 6 points from 2 games and needing a host of other things to go our way in MLS play for the chance to advance into the playoffs. Last year around this time, Columbus was eliminating us at Crew Stadium, and I was [...]

There is a caveat to this post: we don’t have it near as bad as Red Bull fans have it. True, they have a new stadium coming, but that team is a disaster from top to bottom, with little hope of immediate recovery. Now that I’ve cleared that up, this is a bad [...]
A Week Off For the Both of Us: DC United Round Up
By: jon | No Comments
Following their 1-0 win at San Juan Jabloteh on Sept 15th, the guys have been resting up, practicing, and hopefully getting some tactical and finishing work in before their next game on Thursday, against Marathon. I’ve been doing much of the same, save for the practicing or working on my finishing.
But a funny thing [...]
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 [...]
Pre Game: The Circus is in Town
By: jon | 1 Comment
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 [...]
