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 [...]

United seeks killer instinct at home

It is a soccer cliché to go for the win at home and a tie away, but not for Ben Olsen’s DC United. For whatever reason, probably a reflection of their coach’s hardnosed attitude, United’s players come out tough as visitors and have earned their superior away record. They are well aware of their own [...]

DC depth will be tested in San Jose

During the blazing summer months, roster and lineup decisions become paramount in Major League Soccer.

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 [...]

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 [...]

Creative spark should help United’s defense as well

Despite an eight point difference in the standings, DC United and the Philadelphia Union are two well matched clubs. Their 2-2 tie in the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup on April 6th at the Maryland SoccerPlex, which United won 4-2 on penalty kicks, and their split games last year point in that direction. MLS has [...]

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.
