dejan-jakovic Stories - Black And Red United
Regular Games Missed
In General Manager Dave Kasper's interview with the Soccer Insider earlier this week, he made some comments that were very unpopular among fans. Including the cliche "we're not an 0-4 team" and "It's tough to miss the guys we are missing right now". The general theme of his conversation seemed to...
DC United lose 3-2, continue to show incremental improvement
For the first time this season, there are positives and negatives to take away from this match. As opposed to, you know, just the latter. The biggest positive was undoubtedly United's fanbase. In a vast football stadium with 34,870 soccer fans in attendance, it was traveling supporters from DC...
DC United lose 4-0, embarass coach in front of former team
So I guess the preseason doesn't actually mean all that much? DC United fell to the Kansas City Wizards 4-0 and suffered their worst league loss since the Eastern Conference semifinals in 2005. There was not a damn thing that was attractive about this game for United. Their best scoring chance...
United wins simultaneous friendlies as Morsink joins camp
DC closed out the Bradenton leg of camp by splitting the players in camp and winning dual scrimmages. Something closer to a first team beat Florida Gulf Coast University 1-0, with Dejan Jakovic heading in a Santino Quaranta corner kick. Meanwhile, a squad mostly made of reserves beat the USA u-17...
Floribert N'Galula
DC United continues to use unconventional methods to fill out their roster. Last year it was a Serbian-born Canadian who was playing with Red Star Belgrade. Then earlier this month it was an Austrialian striker who spent plenty of time in the Premiership before venturing to Qatar. And now we...
DC United tie vs Toronto FC, 3-3
What an incredible contrast from the previous match. Even though they both ended in ties, this was a much more inspired DC United club, playing against a much more inspired opponent. The match against Kansas City earlier in the week saw two offensive subs (Gomez and Emilio) enter the match and have...
DC United win at NY Red Bulls, 3-2
This certainly felt like another one of those games where we outplay our opponent, but settle for a tie, or worse. Yet somehow, for the second week in a row, DC scores in stoppage time to secure the victory. That's four points that we've earned now in the final five minutes.1. Great to see Santino...
DC United tie vs Chicago Fire, 1-1
I missed this match in favor of a family function, so the notes below are purely based on highlight clips, news articles, blog posts, and fan comments. What's worse, my DVR inexplicably failed to record the USA WCQ match too.When I opened up the laptop this morning and saw that the result was a 1-1...
DC United tie at LA Galaxy, 2-2
I guess MLS didn't spend much time upgrading the referees this offseason.If this game is going to be representative of the entire season, then we could be in for another long one. Actually, the opening match wasn't much different from last year. We played hard, we fought, we had some missed...
Projected starting lineups
United finished the preseason with an uninspiring 2-4 record, with the only two wins coming against USL opponents (who may actually be better than MLS opponents if the Champions' League is any indication). Without dwelling on the past, let's take a look at the potential starting lineups for...
