We announced today our annual 6v6 indoor soccer tournament, Copa D.C. IX, has sold out. It's a riotous good time, with the winner takig home $3,000. The tournament takes place at the Rockville SportsPlex and is open to the public.

My money is on 'Charm City FC.' Why? Because that's the best name.

United goalkeeper Milos Kocic and midfielder Ben Olsen took in the Washington Wizards-Miami Heat game last night at the Verizon Center. Unfortunately, the Wizards lost 93-89 despite Gilbert Arenas' 32 points.

WUSA-9 tracked down Ben Olsen on the streets of DC to get his reaction on Tom Soehn's decision to leave D.C. United.

Comcast SportsNet's Russ Thaler is a persistent fellow. He tracked former head coach Tom Soehn down at his house and asks him about the decision to step away from United, among other things.

We'll soon officially announce that United's six-year relationship with Tom Soehn has ended. United's one-time Assistant Coach (2004-2006) and its Head Coach for the last three seasons (2007-2009) has removed his name from consideration for the club's head coaching position ahead of the expiration of his three-year contract at the end of the calendar year.

On Sunday, Acumen Solutions is putting on the Race for a Cause 8K in Arlington, VA. United for D.C. was invited as one of the beneficiaries for the race (there are 13 in all) who may receive a portion of the money raised - yes, I said MAY receive. In order for D.C. United's non-profit arm to receive a portion of the proceeds, we need 100 people to sign-up for the race and designate United for D.

Though Saturday's playoff exit still stings, tonight the team, front office and fans will gather to reflect on the positives from 2009 season at the 6th Annual United Awards Reception.

.. given out at the United Awards Reception.

Join United players, coaches and front office staff at the 6th Annual United Awards Reception taking place tomorrow night at the historic Atlas Performing Arts Center on H St. NE. In addition to finding out which players won Team MVP, Coaches' Award, Fan's Choice, Goal of the Year and others, you'll also find out which players spend the most time in front of the mirror, is the most unlikely to pick up a restaurant tab, is most likely to move back in with their parents and star in a reality show, among others.

Despite tonight's heartbreaking, gut-wrenching 2-2 draw in Kansas City, there is still a chance for United to advance to the post-season. The only way the Black-and-Red book a ticket to the MLS Cup playoffs is if Seattle and Dallas play to a draw tonight and New England loses to Columbus tomorrow.

The playoff scenarios are mind-boggling.

It is actually possible for United to find its way into the MLS Cup playoffs regardless of win, loss or draw tonight, but the likelihood is very slim if the Black-and-Red come away with anything but a victory in Kansas City. The Wizards cannot make it to the post-season, but will certainly come out hoping to put on a show for their fans in the last home game of the year.

It all comes down to this weekend. Six teams have already qualified for the MLS Cup playoffs, while another six are competing for the final two spots in the final games of the 2009 season. D.C. United is among the team's hoping to extend its season with a win at Kansas City tomorrow almost a necessity.
