It's that excited, nervous feeling you get before the start of something new. The tingle in your
gut before you board a plane to a foreign country. The wave of adrenaline as you launch your raft

Though a lot of anticipation culminated in the final days of January, most European clubs stayed
put with their rosters for the remainder of the season, with little to no... Read more »
Join the guys as they discuss the last couple of weeks in DC United history. They talk about the
team's recent moves and the potential changes to the Black-and-Red's line-up. They also go over the

My friends and I often indulge in extended debate on the club vs. country issue and how so far,
it's ‘OK' to support England. We eschew the jingoism, the hooliganism, the sheer repugnance of

anything like this.
The players had a prematch kickabout, the mascot's nervous pride shone through as they found a
hero to play with, but all eyes were on the tunnel.
Everyone's favorite Miami-based gangster lookalike got a show from the ultras of Galatasaray
