Last-place D.C. United have fired coach Curt Onalfo and replaced him with assistant coach and former U.S. national team player Ben Olsen.
United have only won three games this season as they have struggled through the worst stretch in the teams history. United failed to make the playoffs the last two seasons, and this year’s record is the worst in MLS. They’ve been hit hard by injuries and bad signings, and their lone bright spot is 17-year-old rookie midfielder Andy Najar.

Dallas and D.C. are the only two teams left in the MLS without a win and now we’re left to wonder if we should just let the vultures start picking at them this early in the season.
Dallas. Dallas. Dallas. Last season I praised you for an attacking style that erupted into a 6 goal effort one weekend. You pushed hard but couldn’t make it stick. I even said “You should keep attacking because it’s working”. What have done since then? You’ve gone and hid in your shell.

Major League Soccer to many is synonymous with the LA Galaxy, D.C. United or the now dissolved New York Cosmos – at least if you are not a keen follower of this league. Football or should i say soccer still ranks lower compared to other national pass times baseball, basketball and American Football. However, things are changing.
If what i am reading is anything to go by, then soccer could be at par with the rest of these sports in a few years. Statistics say that 1,000,000 million American parents are cultivating the soccer culture within their children every year especially during the summer spell. That is a massive amount!

The summer soccer season got even more appealing with the news that Real Madrid will be playing D.C. United on August 9th at FedEx Field in suburban Maryland.
The game will be played at the Washington Redskins’ stadium, FedEx Field, rather than United’s usual home at RFK Stadium. To make room for the match, United is moving their previously scheduled MLS game against the Kansas City Wizards to Sept. 9.
The game will have a 3pm EST kickoff because of European TV rights, so expect it to be a very warm day.

Landon Donovan scored two goals in the final 10 minutes to give the Los Angeles Galaxy a 2-2 tie with D.C. United on Sunday in the MLS opener for both teams. Christian Gomez and Chris Pontius scored for D.C. United, which built a 2-0 lead after 62 minutes before Donovan brought his team all the way back.
“Landon is going to get better,” Galaxy coach Bruce Arena said. “His fitness has to get better and he has to get a little sharper on the ball. But over the next month or so, we expect Landon really to get into good form.”

DC United had a poor 2008, but they are still the most successful side in MLS history. In the last 14 seasons, they have captured two US Open Cups and they hold the league record for most Supporters Shields (4) and MLS Cups (4). They also won the CONCACAF Champion’s League in 1998. They are easily the most consistently dominant team in the league.
Their historic run of titles is a product of the great players who have taken the pitch for the Black and Red. Jaime Moreno has been the team’s heart and soul, scoring 121 goals (an MLS record) in 279 games. They have also fielded Freddy Adu, Marco Etcheverry, Bobby Convey, Roy Lassiter, John Harkes, Earnie Stewart and Jeff Agoos, just to name a few.
