A short note (and a Gamer)

By: jon | Comments 6 Comments

Anyone watch the San Jose match last night?
All I’ll say is, for a team that has 1/5 the on field talent as DC, that team fights for every ball, and to a man, has more heart than DC has combined.
That, my friends, is sickening.
I have almost no desire to write a preview for tomorrow’s game, [...]

Congrats to Slavia Prague

By: jon | Comments 5 Comments

For winning the Czech Extraliga. I was over there. Did I miss anything with DC United? Any horrible losses? Oh yeah. Two.
I’m watching the Chivas game on Tivo as we speak, and it is disappointing. But nothing is new from the last game. No heart, not winning 50-50 [...]

My Boy, Kpene

By: jon | Comments 2 Comments

Heads up to DCenters, Guy Roland Kpene has signed with Houston Dynamo, a team that could use some goals.
So I guess that’s why they signed Guy.
Just kidding, you’re my boy Guy!

DCU, VW agree to sponsorship deal

By: jon | Comments 2 Comments

This article, via Goff, confirms the rumor that DC United and Volkswagen will be partnering, to the tune of 5 years, $14 million dollars.
What does this mean? It could mean money to play around with on our second DP spot. It could mean more money pumped into scouting. It could [...]

Snap Judgement: DCU 4, RSL 1

By: jon | Comments 4 Comments

Just got back from the friendly confines of RFK, and I’m well happy. Also, I got to watch my Blues keep the league exciting this morning, all over an Irish breakfast. Happy Jon.
Anyway, some quick observations before a recap post and some pictures tomorrow morning.
-Emilio is lost, lost, lost. I [...]

Two new United Players

By: jon | Comments No Comments

This picture is funny, mostly because of the difference in attractiveness.

Meet your two new defenders, Jeff Curtin and Mike Zaher, formerly of Chicago and Toronto, respectively.
Here’s some info from BTB…
Curtin was drafted by the Chicago Fire in the second round (14th overall) of the 2006 MLS SuperDraft. He did not see any [...]

This is us.

When I turn the game of in the middle of the second half, you know it was bad. My reasoned, balanced analysis forthcoming.
For now.
BOOOOOOO.

Quasi Liveblog- Pachuca at DCU

By: jon | Comments 3 Comments

It’s the 42nd minute, and I’m watching this game alone. And I have some observations to share, and we’ll see if you agree.
-Quaranta is good. He’s fast, he makes smart passes, and he’s busting his ass.
-Emilio is a goal scorer when the ball is in front of him. If he has to [...]

Back in the saddle, again

By: jon | Comments 1 Comment

Hey folks. I was in Charlotte all week, manning a booth at a convention for 12 hours a day. Awful.
Also awful, I missed the Pachuca and Toronto game. So I have nothing to say about it, other than I love seeing the offensive explosion on the score sheets. I look forward [...]
