gomez Stories - Black And Red United
Round 2... FIGHT!
So after several days of dealing with flooding in my basement, I'm finally ready to write about United again. (Why in Maryland do we have something like 59 days straight with no rain, and then it rains nonstop for three days? My sump pump and I are not happy about that.) Actually it was a pretty...
Oh well
<!-- Converted from text/rtf format --> As soon as it was announced that MLS Cup 2007 would be played in RFK Stadium, we knew our mission for the year. That mission failed last night. But what a game! If the Gomez hand ball goal had counted to force overtime and potential penalty kicks, this...
Veron rumors
The rumors about Juan Sebastian Veron are up to a fever pitch again. Soccer Insider reported yesterday that Veron's agent was in town. Of course this could be just a coincidence, but the timing is pretty convenient following United's playoff loss.Not sure how I feel about this.Veron is a great...
Using Protection
The San Jose expansion draft is going down on next Wednesday 11/21. Does this seem too soon to anyone else? Someone from the Revs or Dynamo won't even be done celebrating their championship yet when he's forced to move out to the west coast.Anyway, I'm not going to go through the entire DC United...
The List
Officially available at noon tomorrow, leaked first on the Insider, here is the list of protected players for Wednesday's expansion draft:Perkins, Boswell, Namoff, McTavish, Burch, Fred, Simms, Gomez, Olsen, Moreno, EmilioHard to say there's really any surprises there. That's essentially our...
Peace out, Bryan Arguez
If I had a choice of one player that would leave DC United in the offseason and I wouldn't be upset at all, it would be Jay Nolly. If I had a choice of two players that would leave DC United in the offseason and I wouldn't be upset at all, it would be Jay Nolly and Bryan Arguez.Reports are that...
Adios Gomito, Bienvenidos Gallardo
You all know that I've been one of Gomez's strongest advocates since starting this blog. I would still to this day pick Gomez over Veron if I had a choice, because Gomez fits our style of play so well, and the team would have had to be restructured in my opinion to work with Veron.But now it's a...

Mid-Season Review part 3: Trades
In the third installment of our MSR series, we discuss the trades that United has made since the end of last season. Besides the Gomez move, there were two other fairly significant trades for the team, and I think I actually come out opposed to the popular opinion on both of them. Maybe this can...
Offseason Trends
It's crazy to think that the MLS season ended less than a month ago.We've seen so many changes since then it's ridiculous. Carroll, Boswell, and Perkins are all gone. We'll probably be adding Gomez's name to that list by the end of the month. And now the one huge story that we were expecting this...
