DC United’s MLS Season 2009: The Mehhhh Version (Update)

By: jon | Comments No Comments

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 | Comments No Comments

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 [...]

Post Game: DC United 1, Chicago Fire 1

By: jon | Comments 5 Comments

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 | Comments 4 Comments

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 | Comments 12 Comments

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 [...]

Post Game- Colorado 0, DC United 3

By: jon | Comments 3 Comments

I have got to get out of this habit of only posting post game reports…
I was there last night, and I was fairly pleased. I say fairly because there were some stupid passes in the midfield, and some questionable play by certain players (I’m looking your way Emilio), and because we SHOULD get three [...]

Post Game: LA Galaxy 1, DC United 4

By: jon | Comments 3 Comments

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 | Comments 3 Comments

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.

Post Game: Columbus 2, DCU 1

By: jon | Comments 4 Comments

Well, I didn’t go to this game, and I’m glad about it. I watched it once I got home, and I’ve made some observations.
- Gallardo is good. Very good. He brings an element that isn’t often seen in MLS, and thats the ability to move around with the ball at your feet [...]

Game Preview: DCU vs Columbus Crew

By: jon | Comments No Comments

Alright, here we sit. 1-2-0 in MLS, with a goal differential of -3. Columbus, a team that hasn’t found success in the recent past, is coming to RFK with the talented Schelotto, and not a whole lot else. But hey, I would have said the same about RSL, and look what happened [...]
