DC United's (almost) final roster! (for now)
With DC United's opening match less than 24 hours away, you would think that all of their roster questions would be answered by now. Well that's just not the case! United still has just a few more decisions to make, including who will earn the final developmental roster spot, and who will be...
Peace out Milos Kocic
In a move that will come as a surprise to some, DC United decided to part ways with sophomore goalkeeper Milos Kocic today. It could be seen as a surprise because he's performed so well in the two scrimmages in Florida this week. Kocic did not give up a goal this preseason in 90 minutes of...
Troy Perkins is coming home
In a shocking trade on the eve of the 2010 MLS Draft, DC United has re-acquired Troy Perkins. Perkins played goalkeeper for United from 2004-2007 and boasts an all-time club record 1.22 career goals against average. He started all but 1 match during our Supporters' Shield winning seasons of 2006...
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...
The First Sixth
As promised, this is the first of a new recurring feature here at the DCUMD blog. In the NFL, coaches and analysts often divide the season into four quarters when discussing how their team is doing. For example, the Redskins were a good 3-1 in the first quarter of their season, but finished 1-3 in...
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...
Louis Crayton versus Josh Wicks versus Milos Kocic
Let's try out a different format this time for my much heralded "Versus" series. Here we'll take a look at each of our three potential starting goalkeepers (Louis Crayton, Josh Wicks, and Milos Kocic) on a number of different categories to see if we can come up with a consensus. Stats to...
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 win vs Red Bulls, 2-0
Ah, the elusive 90 minute performance. Now I remember what a true victory feels like! It was easy to expect United to let up a late goal after clearly being the better team for the entire game, but instead they added another, thanks to our two veteran super subs.All that glitters might not be gold...
