A Week Off For the Both of Us: DC United Round Up

By: jon | Comments No Comments

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 [...]

Post Game: DC United 0, LA Galaxy 0

By: jon | Comments No Comments

In the sprinkling rain at RFK, DC United attacked the Galaxy goal, strung together passes in the midfield, and played strong enough in the back to not concede. Unfortunately, United’s finishing and final third passing let them down, and the 22k in attendance had to settle for a goalless draw.
This team has been nothing [...]

Post Game: DC United 0, RSL 0

By: jon | Comments 3 Comments

Like kissing your sister, as long as your sister isn’t hot, or a good kisser.
The thing you’ll hear most from any reports you’re bound to read about this match is that Josh Wicks did well, and RSL bunkered. Honestly, that’s about all I could tell you about it, too. DC started [...]

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 [...]

Game 3: Houston Dynamo vs DC United

By: jon | Comments 2 Comments

This is a big game. I don’t care that it’s April. I don’t care that we’re not fully healthy. We need three points, this weekend. That’s it. End of story.
Houston is not considered to be a contender this year, with losing DeRo, and not many more additions. The team [...]

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 [...]

Pre Game: DC United at New York Red Bulls

By: jon | Comments No Comments

Far be it for me to neglect you, readers, on the day before the classic NY-DC matchup up at the stadium named after my NFL team.
From what I can gather, DC is using this game as a chance to work back in some players coming off of injury. On turf, I’d have [...]

DC United: Better than the Nationals

By: jon | Comments No Comments

I’m still at work, and still pretty busy (or at least, don’t want to be caught blogging), but an interesting post just came my way, and I figured I’d share it.
Disclaimer: I am a Nationals fan, one that knows we suck. A lot. I used to blog about them, but then the suck [...]

IT’S IN DA NET!!

By: jon | Comments 5 Comments

Luciano’s following Bobby’s lead, and has made a website. One can only hope that he’ll post videos of himself every week, so I can get my fill of “Ahh Perkins” and “ITS IN DA NET!!” and “BOB BOSWELL IS INTERNET”. Priceless.
You know how I said I was going to write my recap of [...]
