That was bizarre. Not just clown showing up at a bachelor party bizarre, but a clown shows up a bachelor party and is really the thought to be dead ex-wife of the groom bizarre.

Toronto and D.C. played to a 3-3 draw that may have been the strangest game at RFK ever. After 90 minutes, a butt-load of stoppage time, and 6 goals, I'm not even sure what happened.

Last Saturday, D.C. United gutted out a 2-0 at San Jose. Dwayne De Rosario's two second half goals gave D.C. a lead in a frustrating game for both teams. It was only after Andy Najar was sent off for a professional foul that San Jose seized the initiative, but a committed rear-guard performance saw D.

- Dwayne De Rosario is the best kind of All-star, the inactive kind. He'll be recognized as one of the league's top performers, get a nice little bonus, but won't have to miss any D.C. practices to go play an exhibition game. Which is certainly a good thing as he has only been with his current teammates for about a month now.

'Olsen's Orphans' need to find a home and find it quickly.

Right now D.C. United is teetering uneasily on the edge of playoff contention and threatening to tumble into the abyss of the "there's always next season" lowlands alongside an increasingly red-faced Steve Nicol and two Canadian teams that fire their coaches more often than Charlie Davies changes goal celebrations.

United starting to feel at home at BMO

After building BMO Field into a fortress in its first couple years in MLS, the Canadians' home field doesn't quite carry the mystique it once did, at least not for the Black & Red. It was only last year when Toronto faced D.C. at BMO Field and the Canadians were in a must-win situation. D.C. had only pride to play for while Toronto was in the thick of the race for the playoffs.

As the dust settles on the memorable opening night at RFK, D.C. are now preparing to take on the New England Revolution.

Team updates, news, and links below.

The biggest question going into the next match will be how D.C. line-up at the back. After a strong first showing, there will be forced changes for Olsen to deal with.

It’s Charlie Davies’ world, we are just living in it.

He may have come off the bench and he wasn't the player of the game, but the night belonged to Charlie Davies. Just one goal was enough to make it an unforgettable night at RFK, but that would have been too ordinary for Davies' story. There had to be something even more special than his penalty conversion, it had to be two.

While Joseph Ngwenya is not a name to get D.C. United fans off their seats, it's a solid pick-up in a value-per-money league. The Zimbabwean is still trying to restart his career after an attempt at moving his career into Europe saw his name tied more to legal battles than time on the field. When he returned to Houston, where he had previously won a MLS Cup, he failed to make the same impact that many Houston fans had remembered him for, with only brief glimpses of skill in the Open Cup and Superliga.

It's been just under a year since Ben Olsen made the move from player to staff. Olsen was named an Assistant Coach in Curt Onalfo's staff at the beginning of the 2010 season. After a poor start to the season Onalfo was fired and Olsen was thrown into the headlights as the interim head coach. Now, despite reports from D.

It's hard to sum up the exploits and impact of a player like Jaime Moreno. The forward joined D.C. United in the second half of the inaugural season of MLS. After becoming the first ever Bolivian in the Premier League at Middlesborough, Jaime Moreno joined fellow Bolivian and future club legend Marco Etcheverry at D.

The final match of United's season approaches, but more importantly it'll be the last game for Jaime Moreno.

Moreno's career in MLS needs no hyperbole. He has been a massive figure for the league and D.C. United. He's fourth all time in league appearances(339), tied with Jeff Cunningham in goals scored(132), and fourth in assists(102).

With the roster in the state it's in right now D.C. will most likely field a 5-a-side team to play the Earthquakes. It's unclear whether San Jose will match that five-a-side or go with the full eleven. It's also unconfirmed if the match will just take place on only one half.

Hey San Jose, there's a fair play rule for a reason.

D.C. took a surprise win in Colorado, and by surprise I don't mean the surprise birthday partu when you have a hunch, but rather Jack the Ripper really was Abraham Lincoln scale of surprise. Colorado was arguably one of the hottest teams in the league, racking of the goals and keeping clean sheets, but D.

This one could be ugly. Colorado are 8-4-1 at home, that lone loss coming in May against Los Angeles, a Los Angeles team that started the season red hot. It doesn't help that D.C. United's history of playing Colorado isn't exactly sparkling with success.

Here's a good a trivia question while you are watching the game on Sunday.
