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 [...]
A Week Off For the Both of Us: DC United Round Up
By: jon | 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 [...]

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the last CONCACAF Champions League game my fiance and I will be attending until things change. The lineup put on the field to start was a sham. That backline had no prayer of stopping goals, as they had never played together, and one of the worst defenders [...]
Post Game: DC United 0, LA Galaxy 0
By: jon | 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 [...]

A busy day at Offside HQ, and whole boat load of stuff to talk about. Strap in.
- First and foremost, roster moves. The long rumored, and now finally finalized move for David Habaruguira, defender from Anderlecht in the Netherlands. He had throughly impressed Tom Soehn, enough that he had this to say, [...]
Meeting the Standard
By: jon | No Comments
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, [...]
One Word

Disgraceful. I will be back tomorrow with much, much more on tonight’s abomination in the Champions League qualifier, but the entire DCU organization should be ashamed of themselves for putting out a reserve side in this match, completely disrespecting Firpo, and disrespecting the fans who want to see this club do SOMETHING internationally.
Man, I [...]
DC United’s MLS Season 2009: The Mehhhh Version (Update)
By: jon | 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. [...]
