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 [...]

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

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, [...]

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 [...]

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

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, [...]
DC United vs Real Madrid; It’s on
By: jon | No Comments
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 [...]
