Bryan Namoff
Rumors: Both believable, one upsetting
By: jon |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 [...]
Preview: DC United at Metroscum
By: Chris Pavlakos |Tradition
Ah, the annual trip to the concrete jungle, the armpit of america, RFK North. With Red Bull Arena under construction and supposed to open for the 2010 season, this could be the last time United plays the metroscum/pink cows in the spectacularly horrid Giant Stadium. Christian Gomez and Ange N’silu are on the injury list [...]
USOC Play-In Game: DC United 2, FC Dallas 0
By: jon |In a sparsely attended game (which may be the worst to take your Dad to as his first professional soccer experience), DCU beat out FCD 2-0, with goals by Fred and Brandon Barklage, who dazzled. Chances were easy to come by, as DC had Dallas goal under siege from the get go.
Fred [...]
Post Game: DC United 1, Chicago Fire 1
By: jon |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 [...]
Game 1: DC United at Los Angeles Galaxy
By: jon |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 [...]
Your DC United Offseason News Updates
By: jon |So far, the ol’ offseason hot stove is pretty cool to the touch. Nothing groundbreaking to report, but I’ll give you all of the recent rumors and innuendos involving United.
Clyde Simms looks to be resigned next week, according to the Goff. Also in that post, the subtle hint that Bryan Namoff may not [...]
Midweek Duldrums
By: jon |I have found myself bored this week. I think it had to do with the emotional high of the LA match, the inability to go to the Rochester match on Tuesday, and the lack of another game until next Tuesday (which I need a ride to). So I troll the other DC blogs [...]
Post Game: LA Galaxy 1, DC United 4
By: jon |Well, that was an uncomfortable temperature for a truly entertaining game. But, that’s what you get when ABC wants the game at 12. I just hope the ratings were worth having the game played on the surface of the sun.
Where to begin? Oh, I know. Greater than the win, or the [...]
Game Preview – Pachuca vs DC United Game 2
By: jon |Well folks, this won’t be easy. DC needs to score 2 goals to force extra time, and three to win in regulation.
I don’t need to remind you of the lack of success DCU has had against Mexican sides in the past. I have tickets to this game, but I’ve gotten really [...]

By: jon |Well, after avoiding doing this for 2 weeks, I think it’s finally time that I have to do this. So, here you go peoples, the super brilliant season preview written by yours truly.
Nuts and Bolts — If you’ve watched any MLS since about 1996, you’d know that (aside from a few dark years) DC [...]
