Local Soccer Roundup - 2.8

No Freedom in this week's Roundup. Word around the campfire is that one of the Long Island Lady Rough Riders vehicles was involved in a no-injuries accident on the way down here. What's worse, is that today's Freedom/Majestics sorta-derby at Wakefield High School in Arlington, VA kicks off at 4pm. Seriously? Click to continue reading...

DCU Primer: Who?

I hope you've bought your peanuts, because the circus is coming to town. With less fanfare than a year ago (read: tickets are not sold out), David Beckham and the Rest of The Galaxy, whoever those guys are, are making their way to DC for a nationally televised game (ABC Super Happy Fun Soccer sunday).

Local Soccer Update - 2.7

Local Soccer Roundup - 2.6 (PLUS!)

Yes, I've been delinquent in my DC United coverage, but that certainly doesn't mean I haven't been watching. In fact, the last 3 scheduled matches have left me pretty wet: Houston, @Chicago, and Bunch of Bull. Yes, I was in Chicago and I will be again in August. We'll be back in the swing of [...] Click to continue reading...

A draw from the jaws of victory

The way this season has gone thus far, I never thought I'd be disappointed in a draw at New England, but I am. For about an hour last night, DC United was dominant offensively. They moved like a well-oiled machine and, if not for Matt Reis standing on his proverbial head, would have scored four [...] Click to continue reading...

Local Soccer Roundup - 2.3

There isn't much to speak of this week for the Local Soccer Roundup. Freedom 3 - 0 Fredericksburg A Jennifer Parsons hat trick was more than enough to propel the Freedom to a 3-0 away victory over the Fredericksburg Lady Gunners. Scoring machine Ali Andrzejewski left the match on 33′ for reasons that are unknown to me [. Click to continue reading...

Comeback… down to Earth

It was palpable. To the left and right I could hear it and feel it. Anyone who cared about DC United in any form reacted the same way when Danny Dichio scored his second goal of the match to quickly counter Gonzalo Peralta's first MLS goal and give Toronto FC back the lead at 2-1.
