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 [...]

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

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 [...]

These are the kind of Monday mornings I can deal with. I have been scouring the internet for media about yesterday’s game, for the sole reason that I want to keep reliving it. We beat a team that has a bigger band wagon than any other team in MLS, and we did it [...]
Some minor news, and a funny article

Meet your new forward, Francis Doe. He comes by way of New York, and has 2 goals in 8 career games. For those keeping score, that’s exactly two more than my boy Guy Kpene has scored, ever. I’m told that Doe has got some jets, which we are sorely in need of, [...]

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 [...]
Cracking an egg shell of knowledge on your ass

Not really, I kind of just felt like saying that.
Before our season officially starts against Harbour View FC (where I will be, with bells on), there is scant real news to report.
- Justin Moose, Pat Carroll, Dan Stratford and Ryan Cordeiro have all signed developmental contracts, so they are all officially impoverished. [...]
Someone else’s take on how awesome we are…

Just got this link in my inbox, and decided to share it.
This is Soccerticketsonline’s (nice site, awful name) preview of DCU for this season.
They didn’t talk about the swindle from Colorado, or the new centerbacks, but I don’t blame them. Its not nearly as exciting as Gallardo coming to town.
But I would [...]
