Thursday Night MLS Primetime Wrap Up
Posted on May 30, 2008 - Filed Under DC United, MLS, Revolution | Leave a Comment
Last night’s Revs-United matchup on ESPN2 provided plenty of thrills. It was a standoff between two of the league’s best teams last year, both with many new faces on the pitch in 2008.
Here were my thoughts, stream of consciousness style, as I watched the game:
Pre-Match: Matt Reis’s dome looks extra shiny on the HD while he’s warming up. Almost looks like he’s had it specially waxed for the game. Parkhurst looks focused. I wonder if he’s glad he missed yesterday’s fiasco in Wembley? I also wonder whether Twellman is as hurt as he claims or just still sulking about not getting to go abroad? The pre-match commercials are horrifying. I still get chills when I watch the shoddy camera work in that horrible Dick’s ad with Olsen. But hey, did anyone else notice how freaking hot Olsen’s wife is? Total MLS Wag. Who knew?

D.C. United Back on Track after 4-1 Win over Real Salt Lake
Posted on April 28, 2008 - Filed Under DC United | Leave a Comment
D.C. United did not have the great start to their season that they envisioned after bringing in so many high profile players this off-season. But the club may have turned the corner after an impressive win at home over Real Salt Lake 4-1, as Jaime Moreno scored 2 goals. D.C. United is now 2-3-0 and snapped a 2 game losing streak.
Moreno scored both his goals off penalty kicks, as he is the all time MLS leader in PK’s with 35 for his career. When asked about his penchant for PK’s Moreno stated, “It’s just one of those things. I’m good at it. I’m lucky enough to score that many penalties, and I just have to keep working on it.”

DCU Advances to CONCACAF Semifinal
Posted on March 19, 2008 - Filed Under DC United, MLS, News | 1 Comment
In yesterday’s CONCACAF Champions Cup tournament game between DC United and Jamaica’s Harbour View, the MLS Supporters’ Shield winners pulled off the rare feat of scoring three goals in approximately 300 seconds. And Americans say soccer doesn’t have enough scoring…
After a disappointing draw in the opening round, United looked to be in trouble when it failed to score in the first twenty minutes of the second leg. However, in the 26th minute, a Devon McTavish goal off a Marcelo Gallardo free kick put DCU ahead for the duration.
But the fireworks really didn’t start popping for DC until the second half.
