DCU News: Payne Talks, Soehn Waits, Players (Move?)
By: jon |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 [...]
DC United’s MLS Season 2009: The Mehhhh Version (Update)
By: jon |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. [...]
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 [...]
Game 2- Chicago Fire at DC United
By: jon |Sorry this is getting up so late, but better late then never. Moving and packing is a time consuming situation.
Anyway, Chicago is rolling into town tonight, coming off of a strong performance last week, beating FC Dallas, 3-1. The only offense Dallas had was a 60 yard bomb by Kenny Cooper, so the [...]
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 [...]
Down to the wire
By: jon |Our season has come down to this: cheering for Chicago and New England. Makes you wonder what you’re doing with your life, doesn’t it? Now, as I’ve stated before in posts and in comments, I’m of two minds on what I’d prefer to occur this week.
Do we, A) eek into the playoffs, lose [...]
The Rematch: New England Revolution vs DC United
By: jon |1 week ago, DC dispatched a New England reserve side and advanced to the finals of the US Open Cup.
This week, DC plays NE again. The faces have changed, but may the result be no different.
Again, Matt Reis will not be playing, but NE looks to have more of its attacking options with them, [...]
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 [...]
The Gruesome Aftermath: Chicago Fire 2, DC United 0
By: jon |Wow. Woooow. I can’t throw this game away like I did for Colorado, as there are no excuses this time. I took down some notes during the game, because I knew this post would be a doozy.
So here we go.
