Crunch time arrives for inconsistent DC United

Following the 3-0 CONCACAF Champions League (CCL) victory over Marathon it seemed as if DC United might finally have approached some capability to use their wings in attack. The team then came out against San Jose and executed a classic example of wing attack as Ben Olsen and Chris Pontius worked the left side [...]

DC United fades to 2-1 loss to San Jose

DC United’s playoff hopes took a severe blow Sunday with a 2-1 loss to San Jose at RFK Stadium. Despite taking a lead through Jaime Moreno and controlling possession through most of the match, mental lapses and an overall flat second stanza doomed the home side, which has fallen for the second consecutive time in an MLS game in their once friendly confines.

Improved DC United goes unrewarded 0-0

DC United and the Los Angeles Galaxy played to a scoreless draw at rain soaked RFK Stadium Saturday night extending United’s league winless streak to four games and five overall.

DC United wears down Rochester 2-1

DC United maneuvered their way through another treacherous bunker defense by a lower level side Tuesday night with a 2-1 win over the Rochester Rhinos in a U.S. Open Cup semi-final match but not without paying an unfortunate price.

Veterans shake off rust, lead DC United to 3-1 victory

United shook off the rust of an 11 day rest period, brought on their veteran calming influence at halftime and ran away from a Colorado Rapids team that hasn’t won at RFK in over a decade.

DC United washes out Red Bulls 2-0

A Jaime Moreno penalty in stoppage time finally put a tense game out of reach as DC United prevailed over the New York Red Bulls Thursday night at RFK Stadium. Tom Soehn’s club now gets a full week of well-deserved rest. For Juan Carlos Osorio and the Red Bulls, it’s back to the drawing board again. Assuming, that is, Osorio gets to stick around.

Youngsters show the way for DC United

With the exception of a dominant 2-0 win over FC Dallas in a U.S. Open Cup match last week, all six of DC United’s MLS regular season matches have been close affairs where a momentary lack of concentration, a bad bounce or an innocuous play turned dangerous can mean the difference between walking off the [...]

DC United pulls out late tie 1-1

Jaime Moreno got his 100th career assist at a crucial time in Friday night’s game with the New England Revolution at RFK Stadium. Moreno’s freekick found the head of Ben Olsen, tying the game at 1-1 in stoppage time and rescuing a point from an otherwise disappointing match for DC United.

Healthy United takes on wounded Revs

Over the years, DC United and the New England Revolution have seen their personnel change as Major League Soccer’s relative financial strength in the international market does not result in consistent rosters. With homegrown talent improving, an increasing number of young Americans have gone abroad.
That places a premium on team style, either through coaching [...]

When DC United plays the Chicago Fire, the fans are guaranteed to witness a hard-fought struggle.
