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 [...]

A tale of two teams – The old guys win 4-0

Ben Olsen put it succinctly, “I was proud that they didn’t quit at 2-0, at 3-0, even at 4-0, the guys worked their tails off in the second half. This is a process, and right now [New York] are a better team than we are. Are they 4-0 better than us? I don’t think so, [...]

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.

DC United gets early test courtesy of MLS

For two weeks in a row, DC United’s Dejan Jakovic has been the victim of questionable referee decisions.

Since DC United won that game handily [...]

Olsen blends veterans with young DC United team

Josh Wolff was clearly DC United’s best player in their season opening 3-1 pasting of visiting Columbus last Saturday night.

New style brings DC United a 3-1 win

Ben Olsen unveiled the new DC United on Saturday and it wasn’t your father’s United. While this year’s version is a logical extension of the team’s progression last year, it has one key element that deviates from past practice. At least for now, there is no creative midfielder. With the acquisition of Dax McCarty and [...]

Deeper and quicker, DC United goes on the attack

Despite garnering the worst record in team history, DC United made significant progress throughout the woeful 2010 season and has continued that trend over the winter.
