A sad day for MLS fans

I don’t have much to say about it. DC United has so many great looking chances and they just couldn’t score in their 2nd quarterfinal leg versus Pachuca. It took going down a a goal and desperately needing 3 goals to finally get them going. At least they came back and made [...]

DC United topped by Pachuca, again…

0 - 2
The CONCACAF Champions Cup is not going so well for DC United anymore. After an impressive 2nd leg at home in the first round, DC United had to play at Pachuca last night. The game went to halftime without any score, which was probably just fine with DC United.
Pachuca decided [...]

DC United impressive in Harbour View pounding

Luciano Emilio scores a lot of goals so 2 from his isn’t a big surprise.  Devon McTavish doesn’t score a lot of goals for DC United so 2 from him is a little bit unexpected.  Fred added one to complete the 5 - 0 beating put on Jamaican Harbour View in the quarterfinals of the [...]

Where was Christian Gomez tonite?

While watching the CCC game tointe between Chivas and DC United at one point I thought to myself “Where the hell is Christian Gomez?”.  He didn’t seem too involved during the 2nd half.
Around the 80th minute there were a couple minutes where DC didn’t even get a touch on the ball.  I thought for sure [...]

Fred could start tonite for DC United vs Chivas

DC United has been in Mexico training for a week now leading up to tonites Concacaf Champions Cup semi-final 2nd leg with Chivas.  Brazilian star and former A-league MVP Fred has recently joined the team and is available to play tonite.  The DC United coach would not say weather Fred would start the game or [...]
