As always, Mr. Unprecedented Access, Steve Goff, has a sit down with Kevin Payne and Tom Soehn over on his blog. Some big quotes…
“We don’t want to play like Colorado or New England, which most of the season sat with eight or nine guys behind the ball. How many people go to watch Colorado [...]

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 [...]
Hamid Signs With DC United
By: jon | 1 Comment
As originally reported here (in The Offside’s First official scoop), Bill Hamid, Annandale native and academy product, has signed with MLS and will be on DCU’s roster as the third goalkeeper. As a result of this and other additions like Shipalane, Habarugira, and James, someone on the current roster will have to be cut.
Based [...]

I’m hearing DCU will soon be signing DCU Academy keeper, Bill Hamid, to a contract. There is currently one open spot, but I have a feeling with N’Silu’s recent performances, there could be two in the near future. David Habarugira from Feyenoord will most likely take one of the spots, and I imagine [...]

The rumor was flying around last week and now its official. Avery John has been added to DC United and Francis Doe has been shown the door to free up a roster spot. Goff broke the news yesterday on his blog over on wapo.com. Nobody was sure who would go to make room for John. [...]

Players coming in, players going out
By: jon | No Comments
As this is the preseason, and the informal roster deadline for MLS teams is Monday, DCU made some moves which are quite interesting.
First, coming in. DCU has signed Dejan Jakovic from Red Star Belgrade, in a real, honest to god transfer. It’s like MLS is a real league and everything!
Some info about Mr. [...]
Gomez returns, and the natives are restless
By: jon | No Comments
According to Goff, a trade has transpired that has sent Christian Gomez back to DC, in exchange for a DP slot, Ivan Guerrero, and a draft pick. DC also gets an international spot, and a 4th string goalie who will never ever play.
Snap judgement?
I’m with everyone, I think. This is a move backwards. [...]
