Committed DC United goes down swinging as 1-1 tie falls short

Nearly every DC United player collapsed to the soggy RFK Stadium turf at the final whistle knowing that their 1-1 draw with the Portland Timbers was not good enough to keep their playoff hopes alive. To their credit, United left everything they had on the field as a dramatic but often maddening push throughout the [...]

It’s time for DC to play free

There is no more time for talking, no more tactical or technical points of soccer to sort out and direct learning is going to have to be put on hold. It’s very simple: its win time and that’s it for DC United. That’s all there is to do at this point and what exacerbates the [...]

Sloppy United gives away 2-2 tie

DC United scored twice, for them in the unlikeliest of fashion, but in what has become the painful story of this season, couldn’t close the game out, squandering a two goal lead to settle for a 2-2 draw with Chivas USA at cool but soggy RFK Stadium Wednesday night. Juan Pablo Angel continued to haunt [...]

It’s time for DC United to grind out some wins

DC United have talked about needing to make a “move” in the standings for the last few months to make the playoffs. And while the results and performances in that same time frame have ranged from bad to brilliant, talk time is over. Too many draws, too many squandered points, especially at home to reach [...]

DeRosario’s leadership opens chances for others

Dwayne DeRosario has energized a respectable but uninspired attack and is the first DC United player since perhaps Jaime Moreno and Christian Gomez in their prime that is a true game changer and match winner. United’s results since his arrival, however, have been equally respectable but still uninspiring, especially at home despite fighting their way [...]

Soehn brings memories to DC

Tom Soehn left DC United just two seasons ago, but with all of the drama surrounding the franchise since his departure, it seems like eons ago. Harkening back however, his six years here as an assistant and later head coach were not void of their own drama but quite productive. While Soehn served as Peter [...]

DeRosario and team heroics salvage short-handed tie 3-3

DC United had not won a league home game since May 4th and Toronto FC had not won a road game since defeating United in last year’s finale. So something had to give as the two squared off in the humid and heavy air of RFK Stadium on Saturday, right? Nope. Not this year. The [...]

DC depth will be tested in San Jose

During the blazing summer months, roster and lineup decisions become paramount in Major League Soccer. DC United got some good news as preparations started this week coupled with the obligatory bad news of course in advance of their match at San Jose on Saturday. Dejan Jakovic returned to full training and is likely to start [...]

DC United wilts 1-0

It was a familiar picture show with DC United and the New England Revolution Wednesday night at RFK Stadium. The Revolution absorbed some moderate pressure but never really broke as United held the ball for most of the first half. United had some good chances, mainly from the outside, that they couldn’t finish, goalkeeper Matt [...]

Summer heat puts premium on cool headedness

It is officially hot in Washington, DC and it will be until basically Labor Day, which also officially starts the second season for DC United and for most of Major League Soccer. In an unofficial, unscientific poll, Houston was noted as the hottest city in which to play in MLS. Though done in jest for [...]
