I’m not going to spend a lot of time discussing a game we should of won big that we did win big. I saw some good things. And here we go…
To be a soccer fan in DC

There is a caveat to this post: we don’t have it near as bad as Red Bull fans have it. True, they have a new stadium coming, but that team is a disaster from top to bottom, with little hope of immediate recovery. Now that I’ve cleared that up, this is a bad [...]
Post Game: DC United 0, LA Galaxy 0

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 [...]
Meeting the Standard

If you’ve been following me in the past week or so, or are a poster on BS or BTB, you might know that I was a tad infuriated with the team selection last Tuesday at RFK against Firpo. I thought that it was pure evidence that the team didn’t take the tournament seriously, despite [...]
A Measured Response

I think going to bed last night before doing my writeup on the Champions League qualifier last night was for the best. As I looked online at all the familiar places, I noticed that every fan who wrote was angry as I was. I wasn’t to the point of clear thought last night, [...]

Well, the whole two half things has never been more apt. I don’t know what Tommy said to the team in the locker room, but it worked something special.
The first half was honestly the worst 45 minutes of soccer I’ve ever seen. I’m counting Screaming Eagles pickup games in that assertion. [...]
USOC Play-In Game: DC United 2, FC Dallas 0
By: jon | No Comments
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 [...]

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 [...]
Post Game Recap- DC 1, Chicago 0

Well, that was not quite a goal fest, but I don’t think we thought it would be. Crayton had a strong first game, and commanded his box. He was as advertised. Clean sheet in his first game…Zach has to be nervous with those kind of results. Think he’ll play in reserve [...]

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 [...]
