Deja Vu – another 2-2 for DC United at home

For the second consecutive week, DC United gave up a late goal at home to squander a lead and settle for another draw at home in what is becoming the theme of the 2011 season. Philadelphia’s Carlos Ruiz scored in the 84th minute to bring the Union to level terms 2-2, in what was an [...]

Young DC United seeks consistency against Houston

There has been very little middle ground for DC United so far this season especially regarding how they have played versus their results. They have rarely been mundane for an entire match and when they have played well they have been as good as any team in the league. But when they have been bad, [...]

US sharp in 2-0 win over Jamaica

Jamaican goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts showed why he is still one of the best goalkeepers in Major League Soccer Sunday against the United States in their Gold Cup quarter final match at RFK Stadium. He got a great, and probably somewhat expected workout but even he was not good enough to repel the better Americans for [...]

DC United loses focus, and the game 4-2

Steven Lenhart wandered through several gazing DC United defenders in the 2nd minute before cutting loose a shot that was saved by goalkeeper Bill Hamid. The whole sequence was a harbinger of things to come. Lenhart had another shot inside a chaotic United penalty area less than a minute later and scored the first of [...]

Olsen keeps all options open

DC United Coach Ben Olsen’s game plans have been situation driven and opponent dependent during his team’s resurgent unbeaten run over the last five games.

Olsen demands excellence of improving squad

Young or younger, experienced or naïve, skilled or not-so-skilled, DC United coach Ben Olsen has held every player and this team as a whole, to a standard of play and accountability that perhaps far exceeds their capabilities…not that it’s a bad thing. “I expect a lot from these guys and I want the culture to [...]

Defense leads the way for DC United

Through most of April where they managed to win just once in seven total matches, it was defense optional for DC United. Not only did they concede four goals on three occasions, they looked indecisive and disorganized, especially on set pieces. In their last two matches however, a 2-1 win over Seattle and scoreless draw [...]

United battle back but lose 3-2

The New England Revolution left nearly all of their starters at home, fielding basically a side of reserve players and back-ups for their Lamar Hunt U.S. Open qualifier against DC United. Regardless, they left the Maryland SoccerPlex with a compelling 3-2 victory behind two goals from Kheli Dube after withstanding a frantic late charge from [...]

Olsen fine tunes attack for Toronto

Oftentimes a coach will watch the film of the previous game and get a different perspective from what they saw on the sidelines. After watching his team’s 1-1 draw with the Los Angeles Galaxy again, DC United coach Ben Olsen’s opinion did not change and it didn’t make him any happier. “After watching the game [...]

DC United steal a point from the Galaxy

Charlie Davies scored another second half penalty kick after a debatable decision to award the kick in the first place, to bring DC United to level terms with the Los Angeles Galaxy 1-1 before an energetic crow of 26,622 at RFK Stadium. Mike Magee nodded home a David Beckham corner kick in the 12th minute [...]
