Dear Nick Webster: Thank you so much for wearing a DC United jersey on Fox Soccer Phone on Monday night. We appreciate the thought, we really do. But, in the words of fans across the world, you're not fit to wear the shirt. You're a jackass. Your show sucks and the network you do it on wishes it [... Click to continue reading...

I was a bit under the weather last week, so I didn't get a chance to write about some of the happenings in MLS. Bruce to the Galaxy - I am frankly surprised he took this position. AEG is not the easiest group of managers to work for and while he gets one free pass [...] Click to continue reading...

Let's be honest here. He had no idea where that cross was going. Not too many huge shocks this week. I have to admit, I did expect more of Tottenham, but that is my fault rather than Spurs, who have specialized throughout their history in receiving all kinds of hype and then failing to come [...] Click to continue reading...

Could ESPN ever be this funny about someone like Kobe Bryant? I doubt it. Click to continue reading...

I must admit, I didn't think 1-0 would be enough, but finally, finally we saw a simple composed performance by United's defense and goalkeeping that kept the drama to a bare minimum and provided the base for our undergunned attack to escape with the win. Chicago is a good team, far better than KC who [. Click to continue reading...

If you are going to watch the match later and don't want me to spoil it for you, don't click ahead. Otherwise... Well the journey from prospective group winners to first-round flameout is complete. And practically everyone has some blame to share in the disgrace. Let's start first with Michael Orozco, whose sending off has to [. Click to continue reading...

... It was rainy, windy, chilly, and United were playing the Red Bulls. It would seem that all of those are, historically, factors that lead to a United win. But not Sunday afternoon at Giants Stadium - not against a Red Bulls team that simply needed to take advantage of United's mistakes at the back and [. Click to continue reading...

I am going to go out on a limb here and say that Los Angeles' disasterous  season is not primarily Gullit's fault. So I wouldn't rank him as a coaching "bust."There isn't a coach in the league, if not the world, that could have done very much with that defense - not one. This mess is primarily [.

They're both gone: In a stunning, though not completely surprising turn of events at the Los Angeles Galaxy, both Ruud Gullit head coach and team president Alexi Lalas are looking for new jobs. The Galaxy fired Lalas on Monday, the same day Gullit resigned as head coach. Tom Payne takes over as the Galaxy's president while long-time [. Click to continue reading...

At least the team's radio coverage might improve, according to DCRTV: Bonneville To Kill 3WT, Expand WTOP & FNR - 8/11 - Just in. DCRTV hears that Bonneville will be killing off low-rated talker 3WT. And will use 3WT's old 107.7 Warrenton/Manassas signal to relay all-news WTOP, which will remain on DC's 103. Click to continue reading...

Lifton: The only other time in MLS history when the NY/NJ Metrostars/Red Bulls beat DC United by more than one goal was on September 28, 1997, the last game of the regular season, after United had clinched the Supporters Shield and the Metros had already been ruled out of playoff contention. Jaime Moreno, by the way, scored [. Click to continue reading...

That was a proper choke by the US men's soccer team against Holland on Sunday. They wen't up by a goal and simply shut their brains off. Between Kljestan blowing the game-clinching goal and Bradley and Freddy's yellow cards and Holden's dumb foul and the wall jumping - we saw a young team simply gag [. Click to continue reading...

Did we just witness rock bottom for the 2008 edition of DC United? Because it sure feels that way to me. Maybe I am ascribing too much importance to the New York rivalry, but that was a joke out there. On the other hand, it shouldn't have come as a surprise though. Time and again, our [...] Click to continue reading...

I am starting a new blogging venture this week called Two Foodie Brothers. My younger brother and I will discuss restaurants and cooking and all the other stuff we typically talk about when not talking about sports. Please feel free to give it a read. Click to continue reading...

Thank you Guardian, you've said it better than I ever could: Everyone has one: a mate who spends ages in front of the mirror before heading out on Friday evening, dousing himself in deodorant and preening like a wannabe Casanova despite the fact that it's obvious to all that he's not going to pull. He'll return [. Click to continue reading...
