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 [...]

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 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 [...]

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 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 [...]

Moreno scores as DC United loses finale 3-2

He did the best he could to make it off the field without his emotions taking over and getting the best of him, the emotions of playing the last game on this field for this club that has been his home and family for basically 15-years. “When I left the field and I saw my [...]

Jaime Moreno wraps up extraordinary career Saturday

Jaime Moreno came to DC United from Middlesbrough in England in 1996 fully expecting to return one day to the soccer’s big time. Fifteen years later he is finally leaving. But he is leaving with an unmatched legacy as perhaps the best player in the history of Major League Soccer and as one of Washington’s [...]

Same old, same old for United

New coach, some new ideas but the same old results in the same old manner. In what has epitomized DC United’s season throughout, they were punished for their ineffective finishing and costly mistakes as they fell to FC Dallas 3-1 in a physical match throughout. Dallas goalkeeper Kevin Hartman made three magnificent saves in that [...]

Misery continues for youthful DC United

United goalkeeper Troy Perkins sat slumped in his chair deep in his locker some 15-minutes after the final whistle staring somewhere or even nowhere; stunned perhaps but depressed most likely after more critical errors caused another miserable home loss. Landon Donovan converted a penalty kick in the 58th minute after United had equalized just four [...]

United reload for away campaign

Smiles have finally surfaced around the DC United camp fire as they prepare for a critical stretch of three straight road league matches starting this Saturday in Columbus, interrupted by a midweek U.S Open Cup home match next week against Richmond. A six game unbeaten streak will typically do that even if two of the [...]
