What If There Was A Field of Dreams For Football?

I think I found it this past weekend in a small town in Rockland County, NY.
It’s called the “Collegiate Development Football League.” Based in the little town of Hilburn, the CDFL really is the “second chance” for 18-24 year olds who feel they can still play the game at a high level. The brainchild of [...]

DC United maneuvered their way through another treacherous bunker defense by a lower level side Tuesday night with a 2-1 win over the Rochester Rhinos in a U.S. Open Cup semi-final match but not without paying an unfortunate price.

It’s all about speed

As each player or team advances to a higher level the quality of competition goes up a notch. Opponents tend to be stronger, more confident, and faster. The player or team will adjust or not and at rates that will vary with actual talent and application to the task of improving.

United squeak past Harrisburg 2-1

The Harrisburg City Islanders donned light blue warm-up tee shirts that said-Just Do It…AGAIN. They were game and worthy but DC United had other plans. But they didn’t make it easy on themselves either.
