As voting on the DC United defenders draws to a close, we seem to have finally found the most
polarizing player on the United roster. No one should be surprised that that player would be Marc
Burch, who is currently sitting at exactly 50% River and 50% Life at the time of this posting.
Moving on now to our final edition of River or Life for DC United players, we turn to the
goalkeepers, where there may be a few more difficult voting decisions to make.
D.C. United goalkeeper Bill Hamid took home a U.S. Soccer Award today in the category of 'Best
Academy Story.'
Hamid became the first player in club history to sign directly from the Academy team. He was the
first choice keeper for the U-17/18 Academy team that compiled a 20-4-5 record, before signing with
the first team on September 2.
