Or Not…Q and A with Ben Olsen

1) I think it goes without saying that this season did not go as you planned. After a number of surgeries this season, do you wish that you had rested more before trying to come back, or are you glad that you kept trying to come back before finally shutting it down for the [...] Click to continue reading...

So here’s what happened

I got approached by a marketing firm to send in 10 questions to Ben which would be answered, in exchange for linking the VW videos and just general publicity. So I submitted the questions. Never heard back. So there ya go. Sorry about that. Be back tonight to talk about who we lost in [...] Click to continue reading...

Offseason is officially on

Well, with the close of an unsuccessful season, many a blog will go into a winter hibernation. I have a feeling this blog will suffer the same fate. Although, like my Nationals blog, I will update as notable things happen, or when I want to talk about anything team related. Some news and notes: * [. Click to continue reading...

Down to the wire

Our season has come down to this: cheering for Chicago and New England. Makes you wonder what you're doing with your life, doesn't it? Now, as I've stated before in posts and in comments, I'm of two minds on what I'd prefer to occur this week. Do we, A) eek into the playoffs, lose [...] Click to continue reading...

A whirlwhind of Sucking

Hear that sucking sound? It's DC United's season ending with one trophy, the Open Cup. It's not impossible that they win MLS Cup, but it would be a sports miracle if it did. And I don't count on miracles. Since I've last written, we have lost to Saprissa at home, in [...] Click to continue reading...

Quick Thoughts

- Only in MLS will you see a player on a team walking around the concourse 10 minutes before a kickoff. I saw Pat Carroll in a "fancy" t shirt and jeans. I wonder how many people noticed him. - Santino and Gonzalo don't like each other, and are both demonstrative. I counted [...] Click to continue reading...

Ladies and Gentlemen….

It's on. 3 and half hours away from the start of a game that could give DC its first trophy since 2004. 4 years is an awfully long time to wait. It looks like almost all hands are on deck tonight. Only Kirk, Mediate, and Peralta are certain no gos. If for some reason you can't [...] Click to continue reading...

Post Game- Colorado 0, DC United 3

I have got to get out of this habit of only posting post game reports... I was there last night, and I was fairly pleased. I say fairly because there were some stupid passes in the midfield, and some questionable play by certain players (I'm looking your way Emilio), and because we SHOULD get three [.

The Rematch: New England Revolution vs DC United

1 week ago, DC dispatched a New England reserve side and advanced to the finals of the US Open Cup. This week, DC plays NE again. The faces have changed, but may the result be no different. Again, Matt Reis will not be playing, but NE looks to have more of its attacking options with them, [...] Click to continue reading...
