Timbers Trade Cronin and Allocation Money for DCU's Troy Perkins
Alright, I'm still a little heated so this might come off a little ranty. Keep in mind while writing this I mean no disrespect to Troy Perkins, or the DC United management. That said, I seriously feel like the Timbers just gt seriously hosed.For those who haven't yet heard, earlier today the...
DC United lose to Colorado Rapids, continue to lack chemistry
DC United had not lost a match to the Rapids at RFK Stadium since 1999. Well DC United hasn't had a team this bad since 1999, so I guess this is fitting. Something is still missing from this United team. Well a couple things I guess. We all know the team is missing a striker and a central...
Time for a change
DC United is 0-5 and its time for a change. Changing the players isn't entirely realistic until the transfer window opens in July. Changing the head coach seems inevitable, though probably still a couple months away from happening. Changing the general manager is something that should be...
DC United lose to New York Red Bulls, remain winless in regular season
I spent the first quarter or so of the match wondering where this United team had been during the month of April. Constant pressure, dominant possession, and clearly the better of the two teams. But ultimately, the result was the same as all those before. DC only came to play in one half, and...
US Open Cup strategies
DC United begins its 2010 US Open Cup campaign tomorrow night against the only other winless team in MLS, FC Dallas. There have always been two different frames of mind when it comes to the Open Cup. Some teams choose to treat it as inferior to the MLS regular season, resting starters and sending...
DC United lose to Chicago Fire, forget that games last more than 79 minutes
I was admittedly distracted by the Capitals playoff game while I was watching DC United's 2-0 loss to the Chicago Fire. So maybe I missed the continuous improvement that we were supposed to be seeing every week. Maybe United actually played some really attractive soccer and I was just too...
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...
DC United All-Decade Team: Starting Goalkeeper
Finally, a position that just might be competitive. For the goalkeeper position, there is no question as to which two players will make the All-Decade Team. And that is a testament to how good these two players were in a DC United uniform. It's hard to make a choice by looking at the statistics....
DC United training camp roster
The 2010 season officially gets underway for DC United tomorrow with the start of training camp at RFK. We've seen plenty of changes to the United roster this offseason, so I figured this would make the perfect time to introduce a new feature: the Rolling Roster. In the table after the jump,...
