RIVER OR LIFE: The forwards

DCUMD 02 November @ 11:25 PM EST
The first round of River or Life with the DC United front office has gone pretty much as expected so far, with Tom Soehn just 0% Life, Dave Kasper over 50% but not convincingly, and Kevin Payne somewhere between 50 and 100. Now let's see where the forwards on the roster stand.
The thing about playing River or Life is that its somewhat up to the voter's discretion how you want to interpret the two choices, and I think that's going to come into play for a lot of us with some of these forwards. Click to continue reading...

Another roster reset

DCUMD 12 September @ 09:23 AM EST
Never before that I can think of has DC United made so many roster moves so late in the season. It's obvious that the team is trying to make a strong push for the playoffs, and trying to put together the best roster possible before the acquisition window closes for the season.
Since we last spoke, the team has made a couple new moves, including the signing of Lawson Vaughn. Click to continue reading...

DC United Roster Update

That Soccer Guy 14 August @ 12:52 PM EST

DC announced that they have signed defender David Habarugira. Habarugira has played for the Burundi national team and in the Anderlecht (Belgium) youth system.

The Fourth Sixth

DCUMD 08 August @ 10:28 AM EST
This is the fourth in a recurring series where we look at the DC United season, five games at a time.
Results: 1-2-2. 9 GF, 11 GA
Standings: Third place in the Eastern Conference
Statistical Leaders: Christian Gomez (3 goals, 2 assists), Luciano Emilio (3 goals), Bryan Namoff, Jaime Moreno, and Fred (1 goal, 1 assist each)
Most frequent lineup:


What we liked:

  • The Christian Gomez of 2007 - In the first half of the season, there was a wide variety of candidates for DC United's MVP: Quaranta, Pontius, Moreno, Gomez, maybe even Wicks or Jakovic.

DC United win vs. Ocean City Barons, 2-0

DCUMD 01 July @ 05:57 AM EST
DC United should be neither elated nor concerned after the team needed 75 minutes to beat a PDL squad consisting mostly of college players and a few amateurs. It wasn't pretty, but DC is one step closer to defending their US Open Cup title, which is more than you can say about the 4 MLS clubs who lost to USL clubs last night. Click to continue reading...

Mid Season Review part 1: Acquisitions

DCUMD 23 June @ 07:51 PM EST
16 games in to the season, with a two week break from MLS action, I can think of no better time to deliver to you the second annual installment of the Mid-Season Review. In this space over the next 10 or so days, we will take a look at the Acquisitions, Departures, and Trades that United has made since the end of the 2008 season, and then wrap it all up with a Summary.

DC United loss at Colorado Rapids, 3-0

DCUMD 20 June @ 11:12 PM EST
I can't remember the last time I've said this, but this Colorado Rapids team is actually pretty good. And they deserved this win.
Also, I think this might be the first team we've played this year where I'm actually jealous of their defense. Very underrated. And with Colin Clark and Omar Cummings, Colorado has two brewing stars. Click to continue reading...

DC United tie at Seattle Sounders, 3-3

DCUMD 17 June @ 11:58 PM EST
"What an advertisement this has been for Major League Soccer here tonight". I heard Glenn Davis speak that line twice during the broadcast, once in the 68th minute on ESPN2, and once before the game was being shown on television (thanks atdhe.net). At first I was thinking that that was a terribly hypocritical thing to say. Click to continue reading...

Ange N'Silu signed

Behind the Badge 19 February @ 03:15 PM EST

I just got word from GM Dave Kasper that the team has signed forward Ange N'Silu (pending receipt of International Transfer Certificate and approval of his P-1 Visa).

Ange, whose full name is Mawete Ange N'Silu, joined the team during its time in Bradenton, Florida earlier this month.
