What the rest of MLS is up to: Philadelphia
A little while back, I took a look at New England and New York in an effort to discuss our future opponents. I've arbitrarily chosen to move in geographical order from east to west, which leads us down 95 to the land of cheesesteaks, The Roots, and sports teams that are hated in the DMV (Eagles,...
MLS Draft preview
I don't claim to follow college soccer very closely. But it's this time every year that I sort of wish that I did. Luckily there are plenty of other writers who do. Such as Buzz Carrick, who has ranked the goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders, and forwards in this year's draft class. Or the...
DC United tie at Kansas City Wizards, 1-1
Maybe it's just me, but I found most of that match to be pretty boring. What I saw were two teams who didn't seem inspired, and a whole lot of players on each side who may have been content with just one point while still at or near the top of the Eastern Conference, and with another game just...
DC United tie vs NE Revolution, 1-1
I'm having a real hard time figuring out how to feel about this tie. The ending kind of makes it feel like a win. I can tell you with certainty that that was the loudest I've yelled at my tv this year with Benny scoring a goal in extra time. But apparently the recurring theme of the season to date...
What I missed
I've been pretty busy with house additions and family functions the past couple weeks, so without the capability to DVR matches that frustatingly are not on television, my reactions to these past two matches are coming only from video highlights and the written opinions of other fans, bloggers, and...
DC United tie at Chivas USA, 2-2
Before this match, Bretos and Sullivan were discussing that this might be a potential MLS Cup matchup. And this game didn't really disappoint. You just hate to see such a good match decided by some poor officiating. How come we don't ever see poor officiating in our favor anyway?DC United showed...
DC United tie vs Real Salt Lake, 0-0
Let's put this in a different perspective. It makes sense that eventually DC United was going to go a full match without scoring a goal. Wouldn't you rather that match happen when we also don't allow a goal? And so I don't feel terribly about this uninspiring match as we extend our unbeaten streak...
DC United loss at New England, 2-1
This one hurts. Hurts more than any other match this year. Losing 1 point here because of a faux penalty call hurts worse than losing 2 points to LA Galaxy earlier in the year because of a faux penalty call. Maybe that's because it was to one of our fierce rivals who look to be making a push up the...
DC United tie at Seattle Sounders, 3-3
"What an advertisement this has been for Major League Soccer here tonight". I heard Glenn Davis speak that line twice during the broadcast, once in the 68th minute on ESPN2, and once before the game was being shown on television (thanks atdhe.net). At first I was thinking that that was a terribly...
Mid Season Review part 1: Acquisitions
16 games in to the season, with a two week break from MLS action, I can think of no better time to deliver to you the second annual installment of the Mid-Season Review. In this space over the next 10 or so days, we will take a look at the Acquisitions, Departures, and Trades that United has made...
