Chicago to burn down RFK tonight

DC United will be playing in their fancy new VW jerseys tonight for the first time on ESPN2. Sounds good but things aren’t right in DC, and they are playing the Fire, the same team that knocked them out of the playoffs last year. Chicago is hot right now. The Fire are [...]

Darren Huckerby to replace Ben Olsen?

Ben Olsen may be done for the season, done for good. Olsen has a bad ankle situation right now. I think he must have broke it when he was chasing his kid outside of Dick’s Sporting Goods the day his son put on that Beckham jersey. See below:

Well anyway, rumors are going [...]

Thursday Night MLS is back!

We finally get back to our beloved Thursday night MLS on ESPN.
vs
Columbus Crew (2-1-0) 6pts - 3rd(T)
DC United (1-2-0) 3pts - 9th(T)

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 [...]

Opening weekend

Well the opening weekend is over and we’ve seen each team other than New York and the expansion San Jose.  Thursday we get a double-header from ESPN2, and a second look at both the New England Revolution and LA Galaxy.
The Revolution got a re-match of the MLS Cup that they lost again to the Houston [...]

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 [...]

DC United and Houston Dynamo open CONCACAF Champions Cup with draws

Both DC United and Houston Dynamo played their first legs in the quarterfinals of the 2008 CONCACAF Champions cup yesterday.  Thanks to my DVR and the FSC schedule I had to go to bed at 2AM not knowing what happened in the last 10 or so minutes of the Houston Dynamo game.  I also was [...]

Do the DP’s have to be old timers?

In order for the LA Galaxy to bring David Beckham to Major League Soccer the rules had to change.  The salary cap was too small for Beckham to fit on any team by himself, so the league added DP’s which only count toward some of your salary cap.  After that the team can pay that [...]

DC United will be in Jamaica playing Harbour View FC while Houston may have a tougher opponent in Guatemala when they play CSD Municipal. This is how [...]
