Extra Special! Late Goal Advances USA in World Cup

Better late then never. That phrase couldn’t have applied more to the United States men’s soccer team on Wednesday afternoon in Pretoria, South Africa, where a single goal meant moving on in the 2010 World Cup, and a lack of one meant going home. Through 90 minutes of regulation time, the Americans had failed to [...]

Wizard of Oz 2, Kansas City 1

DC United’s playoff hopes took a severe turn for the worse Saturday night with a disappointing effort in a 2-0 home loss to Chivas USA Saturday. “They were a better team,” said Ben Olsen who was ejected in the 65th minute for retaliating to a Yamith Cuesta foul.

It’s sink or swim for United’s reserves in Costa Rica

With more injuries piling up and their MLS playoff hopes in peril, DC United sent a marginally experienced 16-man squad to the Monster Cave in San Jose, Costa Rica for the away leg of their CONCACAF Champions League series with CD Saprissa. At least Zach Wells, the starting goalkeeper for the game, is familiar with what the expect, having traveled to Puntarenas, Costa Rica last year with the Houston Dynamo for a CONCACAF Champions Cup quarterfinal match. In that match, Wells replaced Pat Onstad after the starter injured his calf in the 18th minute and stopped a penalty kick shortly thereafter.
